Send Your Pixels on a Mission: Donate Great Photos to the Church

LDS photographers, your photos of LDS-related sites and events might be helpful, along with photos of people. Church publications, including websites, could benefit from some of the great photos you have taken. Note: It's important to have release forms for all of the identifiable people in them in order for the Church to use the photos. This rules out most photos of my readers, but for the few pros and serious amateurs out there who use release forms, consider this a mission call for your pixels.

Here is an email that was sent recently requesting the help of LDS photographers:

Dear LDS Photographer,

We are contacting those who have shared photos with the Church as part of the Church call for photos. A Church department needs a photo of an Asian temple with people in front of it for a project they are doing. If you have a photo that meets this need and would be willing to share it with the Church, please submit it through vineyard.lds.org. Remember you will need to submit a signed participant release for those in the photo.

If you know of others who may have a photo like this, please share this email with them.

As a reminder, we are in continual need of great photos of about anything you can think of, especially people. If you haven’t submitted photos in a while, we invite you to share your talents with the Church. If you love taking photos but don’t have a place to use them, consider sharing your best photos with the Church. For more information, look at create.lds.org.

Thanks for your help,
