Welcome to the Move to Improve photo gallery

Guidelines

What sort of picture should I send? What should I write?

Photographs should be inspiring and clearly show you performing the activity, exercise or sport

Each photograph should be accompanied by a short statement (no more than 100 words) in English describing how the activity has improved your life

We need high quality photographs – minimum requirement 1mb when open

The clarity and artistic value of the photograph will be considered in judging

Photographs that are not of sufficient quality may not be included in the gallery

Inappropriate photographs will not be posted.

Here are some of the different types of activities you might want to show:

Water activities: Swimming, aqua-aerobics, sailing, canoeing etc.

Indoor activities: Gym, exercise classes, dancing etc.

Calm / meditative activities: Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi etc.

Outdoor activities: Walking, bicycling, riding etc.

Team sports: Football, netball etc.

Adventure activities Skiing, climbing, abseiling etc.

Everyday activities: Playing with your children, walking the dog, gardening

How to enter your picture into the gallery

Provide a digital photograph of yourself participating in a physical activity, form of exercise or sport and write a short statement about why this activity improves your life with a rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease and benefits you.

Make sure your photograph is of good quality. Photographs should be at least 1mb and provided in JPG or GIF in RGB file format. Photographs should not be over 5 mb. (Tip: It might be possible to compress photos when saving them as a JPEG)

Complete the entry / consent form and post your picture and quote online.

Pictures should show you, the person with the rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease.

If possible, ask a family member, friend or colleague who has some experience of photography to take a picture of you.

Tips

Before you take your picture, here are some considerations:

Try and keep your picture simple so that people can see clearly what you are doing

Make sure you are sufficiently in the foreground to be seen

You may need to ‘arrange’ the composition of the picture to get the best effect

Try to make the picture look active and natural, rather than posed, even if you have had to ‘arrange’ the composition

Consider the background of your picture – if this is too busy then it may distract from what you are doing

Think about the colours you are wearing and make sure they stand out from the background

If other people are involved in your picture make sure you have their consent to use their photograph

Make sure there is enough light in the picture

You may need to use flash if you are taking your picture indoors

If the camera has one, use the facility to remove ‘red eye’ when using flash

Your picture will inspire and motivate other people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, so make sure you are smiling!

Remember, a picture can speak a thousand words…
