Hire CSFilm to train you and your org in effective visual storytelling

November 11, 2015

Many non-profits do not have the IMG_0599 Croppedfunds to hire photographers to document their many activities and to visualize their stories for their community and supporters. Orgs often rely on an already over-worked staff to snap pictures on the run; too often the results are not usable.

I recently conducted a training in basic documentary photography for the The Neighborhood Developers in Chelsea, MA.   In two two-hour meetings, the program staff and I worked on capturing good images with their phones or the company camera. Without IMG_0584spending too much time or energy they are now snapping well exposed, composed and focused photos that communicate TND’s impact.  It is an inexpensive way to maximize the visual impact of your publications and website.

Please call or email us at +1 (857) 415-0564 or info [at] csfilm dot org to work with you, your staff or your community on producing documentary photos and videos that communicate your story effectively.

The photos above are examples of program staff pictures after the training.  Here are a few from before the training:Bagin Bin Deli 5.18.15 100_1781 20150716_164251

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Five Dark Years – the Fall of Humanity and the Silencing of a Generation

Aug 15, 2026

Five years have passed since the fall of Afghanistan—a period that, for millions of people, has meant far more than lost years. It has been five years of humiliation, deprivation, fear, silence, and the gradual erosion of hope and human dignity.

Five years ago, Afghanistan fell into the hands of a group that, instead of building a future, closed the doors of life on its people. During these five years, the Taliban have not moved toward reform or change. On the contrary, with each passing day, restrictions have expanded and life has become increasingly difficult for millions of Afghans. The rights to education, work, freedom of movement, social participation, and many of the most basic freedoms of human beings—particularly women and girls—have been taken away.
