Photos guidelines

The report asks you to include a photo from your experience.

We encourage submissions of all types of photography from your global health-related experiences be it here in Canada or abroad. To stay true to what you saw and captured at the time, we ask that you avoid excessive editing. Submissions must be an original work taken by the individual submitting the photo.

The ۲ݮƵ Global Health Programs office supports ethical photography, meaning the welfare of the subject(s) in question (people, animals, environments, etc) take precedence over their photography. Do not harm, bribe, or manipulate the subject or its environment for the sake of creating an image.

Photographers’ decisions about the depiction of their subjects can completely alter viewers’ perceptions. An ethically shared photograph is one that accurately portrays a situation without stigmatizing the subjects. The photograph is taken with the subject's consent and shared in a way that the subjects approve.

Informed consent is mandatory in the following situations:

  • A person's face is visible and that person is the focus of the photo
  • A person's (or a group of people's) medical or personal information is revealed in the photo (e.g. HIV status).

For instance, consent would be required for group photos of you and your on-site colleagues, or with a study participant, but not for photos of you on a busy street or in front of the building where you worked.

If you wish to explore this topic further, The Lancet Global Health recently published a very relevant paper: .

۲ݮƵ University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. ۲ݮƵ honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
