We need many images to visualise articles and develop social media posts.
The opportunity for you
An opportunity to build portfolio work and exercise your photography skills.
Photos used on We Meditate will always be credited.
Photos used on social media can also be credited.
What we need from you
Send us your photos of nature, lifestyle shots, and yogis meditating.
Take all photos in both landscape and portrait so they can be used in different situations.
Photography wishlist
Person meditating in front of their bed, one in the morning and one at night. Should show that it is clearly a bedroom setting.
The idea is to show someone meditating when they get up in the morning, and another before they go to sleep. They could even be in pyjamas.
Sunrise meditation, person meditating indoors, but you can see the sun rising through the window.
Person meditating wearing smart work clothes. Can be in a park or at home, doesn’t matter too much. How they are dressed is the important thing.
Person footsoaking in their home, should be evening time.
Meditating sitting at a desk. Should show clearly computer/other work items in the shot.
Someone meditating wearing exercise clothes. Can be indoors or outdoors.
A group meditating. Can be either outside or at a program.
Meditating with kids. An adult leading a meditation for children. Ideally indoors.
If you don’t want to show kids faces could take photo from the back.
It would be good to have a few versions of these. With the same set up can zoom in or out, from different angles, change positions etc.
Generally we need more photos at home and in familiar environments. We want seekers to be able to see themselves doing this meditation.
Guidance for photography
The position of the hands are not important in these photos, but mostly should be palms open in lap, or maybe hand on heart or above Sahasrara.
We need a mix of boy and girl models, and a mix of ages too if possible.
Try to vary the angle of the shots. i.e. not always straight on.
If possible, it would be good to have more models from a diverse age and ethnic background. Currently almost all photos we have are fair-haired, light-skinned, and in their 20s.
