Photo Etiquette Sample Clauses

Photo Etiquette. We understand that you want to capture memories of your child participating in the sport they love and we welcome you to do so. Please keep in mind there is some basic etiquette you should adhere to. ▪ Location – Often access to pool deck during meets is off limits to parents. Make sure you are in a location you are permitted to be in (e.g. the stands) before taking photos. ▪ Official photographer – At Swimming NSW’s and Swimming Australia’s meets there will normally be an official photographer*. Do your best to ensure your photo efforts do not interfere with those of the meet’s official photographer. ▪ Privacy – It’s sometimes very hard to capture only your own swimmer in photos, especially during action shots. Whenever possible please do everything you can to only photograph your child unless you have specific permission to photograph other children from their parent/guardian. ▪ Appropriateness – Cameras do not belong in bathrooms, change rooms, showers, or anywhere else swimmers may be changing. ▪ Image use – If you have captured other swimmers in a photo, be aware that you should not publicly distribute or post the image unless you have the express permission of the parent/guardian of these swimmers. ▪ Social media/internet – Following on from the above, always obtain permission to post pictures of other swimmers on your club’s social media page(s) or website. Check your club’s social media guidelines as well before posting any photos to ensure you are adhering to them. Be aware that photos and videos may be shared with strangers.
