Photographers across the Isle of Wight are being invited to join Walk the Wight as official photographers for next month’s event.
The Earl Mountbatten Hospice needs good quality photographs for the image library for use in a variety of ways. It is important to be able to show people the unique atmosphere and experience that Walk the Wight offers.
With no budget allocated for photographers, organisers of Walk the Wight are asking kindly if Island photographers will help by volunteering their time and expertise to provide images of the walk that interpret the atmosphere, represent the key groups who take part and showcase the stunning views.
Photographs captured on the day need to be given to the Hospice for their use as they see fit and will be used in future for such things as adverts in print, social media promo, walker packs for following years, presentations on the event, website and more.
Photographers are required in the following locations:
• Bembridge Start 05:30-07:30
• Arreton – 08:00-10:00
• Carisbrooke – 08:00-11:00
