Reportage photography rules We use reportage photography to engage our audience – to tell a story, and demonstrate that we understand the way our audiences work and their daily challenges. This photography should always feel natural, representing observations from the working life of the subject. If stock imagery is required (and it often is), ensure that the chosen image is a true reflection of BMJ Group. This means it won’t look ‘cheesy’ or superimposed. Our imagery should always be relevant to the audience and their geographical location. Always ensure that the images don’t include any identifiers such as name badges or patient and clinical data. No nail varnish or jewellery can be on show, particularly within a clinical setting.
