I want to use my photography to give back to Colorado’s outdoors: 

Step 1

Email VOC staff to let us know you're interested in volunteering as a photographer.

Step 2

We’ll send you our Photographer Welcome Packet, including a guide on what to capture, a submission overview, and our photography agreement.

Step 3

Review, sign, and return the agreement.

Step 4

We'll share our Project Team Roster so you can see which projects need photography coverage (available February–October).

Step 5

Register for a project, bring your camera, and start shooting!

Step 6

Submit your photos after the project and they will then be featured in VOC’s project albums and possibly in future outreach.

Why PHOTOGRAPHY IS IMPORTANT

Photos tell the story of VOC’s impact. As a Volunteer Photographer, you help preserve memories, showcase accomplishments, and inspire others to get involved. Your images support outreach, storytelling, grant reporting, and future project recruitment.
