Volunteer as a Photo Researcher
Pictures of the people groups really help us connect with them in a special way. Help us in our ongoing search for people group photos.
Which photos are needed?
- If there is a plain silhouette image on a people profile.
- If there are missing thumbnails on country listings.
- Largest unreached people groups needing photos.
Photos should be:
- Close-up quality color images of individuals.
- Representative of the people group – not very young or very old.
- Permission to use the image is required.
A few photo gathering approaches:
- Fill in photo gaps for an entire country.
- Gather photos by population size (sort listing by population descending).
- Find photos for unreached people groups.
- Replace photos where we currently have copyright restricted images.
- Replace photos where we currently have a poor quality image.
What about doing some traveling to take original photos of people groups? One man rents a dirt bike wherever he travels in order to get people group photos where Joshua Project lacks them.
