The Marketplace

2010 sees the launch of a new initiative from Exposure Leeds – in support of Leeds’ forthcoming ‘Year of Volunteering’

The concept is to set up a volunteer-led photo agency for charities and other not-for-profits.

If you know anyone who would benefit from this scheme please ask them to email marketplace@exposureleeds.org or telephone the Exposure Leeds voicemail: 0113 815 0517

How this work…

  • A small team will approach various bodies to promote the scheme.
  • Client organisations will be asked to submit a brief for a limited amount of work, for example – to shoot an event or to take photos for a specific news release, brochure or just to cover off a specific theme to be ’stock’ for that organisation.
  • The team will review these and work with the client to get a clear brief.
  • The brief will then be promoted and photographers can show interest – which will be forwarded to the client.
  • The photographer and client will arrange the shoot between them and arrange delivery of finished images (online, or on cd)
  • The team will provide backup if required.

  • Changes to the brief to be agreed by all parties
