Submitting Images to the Lung Health Image Library
The World Lung Foundation seeks quality photographs in all areas of lung health, including Tuberculosis, TB-HIV, Asthma, Child Lung Health, and Tobacco and Smoking. There is a special need for photographs of TB activities from high-burden countries, particularly from Afghanistan, Brazil, Cambodia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Tanzania, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Photographs of community events or community involvement in raising lung health awareness or in providing treatment are particularly desirable. Finally, images of the increasing contributions of nurses and community health workers are wanted.
Photographs should be of use to public health specialists, non-governmental organizations, educators, journalists, or community and advocacy groups in individual countries and throughout the world. Photographs might be used to educate patients and their families, raise awareness about a particular disease or condition among the general public or policy makers, or to illustrate a particular problem within lung health.

Technical Information for Sending Photos
Sending original material:
The Lung Health Image Library accepts high quality digital photos, colour or black & white slides, and colour or black & white negatives, and high quality color or black and white prints.
Please make sure that all material that you send is correctly labelled with all the necessary information (see Captioning Photos below.)
If you are scanning your photos:
The standard file print size of the Lung Health Image Library is 8x12 inches (vertical) or 12x8 inches (horizontal) at 300 dpi. This will give a file size of approximately 26 MB (megabytes) in an uncompressed TIFF file.
If you compress your file into a jpeg/jpg format, please use the “best” or “maximum” setting, baseline Optimised. Photos can then be sent by e-mail. For large numbers of photos, it is preferable to batch them and burn them onto a CD-Rom and send this.
If you are using a digital camera:
Use your highest resolution setting and save the files as TIFF/TIF or JPEG/JPG. These can then be sent by e-mail or for large files or large volumes, batched and burned onto a CD-ROM, which should then be sent.
Captioning Photos
Caption Style Guidelines:
1. Describe the picture in the present tense using an "action" verb, which best describes what the person is doing.
Examples: Gestures, Speaks to, Waves to, Walks, Walks with, Informs, Educates, Advocates, Accompanies, Arrives, Arrives with, Smiles for the camera, Poses for photographers, Brandishes, etc. Avoid using non-action verbs such as Is Seen, Was Attending.
2. Structure the first sentence in the following order: Who, What, When and Where.
WHO:
The subject: Always use full names and titles the first time you refer to someone, if you name them again in the second sentence you can be less formal. (Use "unidentified" and NOT "anonymous" to describe someone for whom you haven't ID) You must obtain permission from the subjects of the photograph to submit their image and to specify their name in the caption. Please do not provide the name of any patient unless he/she explicitly states that he/she would like their name to appear on the internet.
WHAT:
The situation, event or action taking place.
WHEN:
The date the picture was taken.
WHERE:
The location, City and State.
The second sentence is the "WHY" sentence. This sentence gives context to the picture and may explain why it is important. Sometimes it’s just the latest news about the subject with no relation to the actual image itself. For example, the caption below could have had a second sentence that read: The President announced earlier today that he was establishing a new asthma health service.
Sample Captions:
Indian PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee stands in front of the Taj Mahal in Agra, 22June 2001.The PM is here for the Indo-Pakistan summit to be held from 26th June to 30th June. Photo by (name of photographer).
Note: In the example above "Agra" would be optional because "Taj Mahal" has "stand-alone" status as an internationally recognized place. In the example below "Bollywood" has the same status and does not need State and Country identification in the body of the caption. When in doubt just use the State and/or Country.
Superstar Hrithik Roshan, left, accompanied by co-actress Rani Mukherjee arrives on the set of their new film "Zindagi" in Bollywood. The movie is due to be released next June 2002. Photo by (name of photographer)
Online Photo Submissions with Captions (captioning in Photoshop)
All online submissions to the Lung Health Image Library must contain complete and informative captions. This will enhance searching capabilities by clients on our database. Our search engine can look up pictures by various methods. Please fill the entire set of fields that we recommend in the following guidelines so that we can provide varied search parameters to our users.
Caption:
The first field in ‘File Info’ is where you enter the caption data. Write in the caption, which should include Who, What, When & Where and a description of what is happening in the photo.
Always enter the complete and proper titles of authority or position i.e. Prime Minister, President and CEO etc. but do not use Mr., Mrs. or Ms.
Important: Do not use double or single quotes or apostrophes. In case you need apostrophes use the accent (`) symbol usually located in the extreme top left of your keyboard next to the numeric 1.
After your opening sentence, insert the date and location of the Image. i.e. 14 November 2005 Paris, France.
The next sentence should be expanded with additional information about the photograph. Important: Between sentences do not give line breaks by hitting the ENTER KEY at the beginning or end of each sentence. Always continue to type in caption information continuously. Enter the credit as - photographer name - in brackets (John Doe).
Caption Writer: Enter your initials in the field.
Headline: A short Headline.
Important: Spell Check and see that your grammar is correct.
The next section is the Keywords. Add keywords that describe the picture, give the location and geographical area.
Always add country, continent, state, local place, i.e. If the picture is from Pakistan or India add South Asia. If from America / Canada add North America.
Add new and old names of the city or country i.e. Mumbai was Bombay, Chennai was Madras, Myanmar was Burma. This will help library users, who may search using an old city name.
Keywords are extremely important. Good keywords help in finding pictures over a broad search area. Always add as many associated words as possible. This increases the possibility of finding pictures.

It is important to put Your Name in all the 4 fields, which are:
Byline: Photographers Name
Byline Title: Photographers Name

The final section in File Info is the copyright and URL field. All images on the Lung Health Image Library system are copyright of the photographer.
