Guidelines: Images

Photography is a powerful asset in communicating York’s values and personality. Now more than ever, opinions about a place are formed in a matter of seconds with the flick of a thumb scrolling through a news feed. Audiences have a short attention span and photography needs to capture attention and actively engage in order to have an impact on perception. Use our guidelines to ensure that the images you use help to support the York narrative.

About these guidelines

Use these guidelines to create photographic and video assets which focus on what York is really about – people. To support the narrative, photography should as much as possible aim to show people enjoying and interacting with the city.
