Health insurers post $8m Covid-19 profit

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/health-insurers-post-8m-covid-19-profit/

Health insurers post $8m Covid-19 profit

Medical insurers in Kenya posted their highest-ever underwriting profit in the six months ended June last year on reduced bills, as patients avoided hospitals for fear of contracting the coronavirus.

Latest data by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) shows that medical insurance firms made Ksh891.05 million (about $8 million) in underwriting profit over the half-year period—a record performance for the firms which have over the years posted losses.

Tom Gichuhi, the chief executive of the Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI), attributed the performance on substantial reduction in claims payment due to reduced visits to hospitals.

“Many people avoided going to hospitals for fear of contracting Covid-19. There was highly reduced traffic to hospitals and even those seeking elective surgeries were also postponing,” he said.

“People were also working from home and therefore for simple ailments which could otherwise drive heavy traffic to hospitals, people avoided.”

The Ksh891.05 million ($8 million) profit was 3.2 times higher than the Ksh280.37 million ($2 million) posted in the preceding half year, placing medical insurers on a strong footing to continue with the recovery from the Ksh1.1 billon ($11 million) loss they booked in 2018.

Out of the 24 medical insurers, only seven posted underwriting losses, a big improvement from a similar period the previous year when a majority (16) of the firms were in the red.

Kenya reported the first Covid-19 case on March 13, prompting the State to impose measures such as a dusk-to-dawn curfew, social distancing and work-from-home calls.

Medical claims paid during the six months fell by Ksh362 million ($3.6 million) to Ksh9.75 billion ($97 million), marking the first time in over eight years they didn’t grow.

Reduced hospital visits spared insurers’ huge bills, with official data showing that the cost of healthcare rose sharpest in October due to a surge in Covid-19 infections.

Statistics by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) show that health inflation hit an all-time high of 3.04 percent in October from 0.05 percent at the start of last year.

Reduced hospital visits translated to reduced revenues for health facilities, prompting some to implement layoffs and salary cuts amid assurances by health officials that sufficient measures had been taken to lower Covid-19 infections in hospitals.

The government at one point mulled over making it mandatory for patients being admitted to hospitals to be first tested for Covid-19 as a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of infections to healthcare workers.

Medical insurers also closed the review period with the best incurred loss ratio—proportion of collected premiums that were paid out as claims—since the IRA started providing data on the sector.

The incurred claims ratio dropped from 72.6 percent to 69 percent, compared to 83.9 percent seven years ago.

The improved performance in medical cover helped general insurers to rebound from an underwriting loss of Ksh1.26 billion in mid-2019 to a profit of Ksh62.45 million.

Insurers had raised the alarm about high Covid-19 infections substantially raising medical bills.

However, the muted rise in Covid-19 claims and the limiting of virus covers to patients seeking care in public facilities helped shield insurers from high payouts.

Insurance companies had paid Ksh108.2 million ($1 million) on Covid-19 death claims by mid-June last year, according to IRA data.

Medical insurance is the second-largest class of short term insurance business after motor insurance, in terms of gross written premium.

However, the business has been struggling over the years, with underwriting losses doubling to Ksh1.1 billion ($11 million) in the year ended December 2018. Only six medical insurers posted a profit then.

Insurers last year suspended Nairobi Women’s Hospital from their list of accredited facilities in light of allegations of cost inflation.

The services were, however, reinstated after insurers reviewed the operations of the hospital and threatened to blacklist any other that would in future be found to be inflating bills.

Medical insurers have also been at loggerheads with hospitals over the number of tests administered to patients, the use of expensive branded drugs as well as choosing expensive procedures such as Caesarean-Section delivery.

An April 2019 report by Nairobi County Assembly Health Services committee showed that out of the 9,043 health facilities in the city, only 1,079 were registered and licensed to operate.

This means over 3.5 million people living in Kenya’s capital are more likely to seek services from health facilities whose quality is not assured, leading to wrong diagnosis and repeat visits to hospitals.

Working with freelancer sites

At Distilled we have become a dab hand at creating photo stories. Ones which take you on a journey around the world comparing different human facets that give us an interesting insight into different cultures.

In the past we have looked at:

The view out of people’s windows for electronic motor for blinds brand Somfy. What Christmas dinner looks like for artificial Christmas tree brand Balsam Hill. The inside of people’s fridges for the home insurance arm of Admiral.

This post will focus on a case study of our most recent project for Admiral, and how we gathered images of families and their fridges from all around the world using freelancer sites. Obtaining original, royalty-free imagery is something that we have found invaluable in these campaigns and is something that journalists love.

Start with a clear brief for the freelancers Project Overview

We are collecting photos of fridges from around the world.

Can you take a photo of your open fridge, and tell us about the food inside?

Brief Take a high-quality professional photo of the inside of your fridge. Take a photo of an item in your fridge which is a treat. Take a photograph of your family in the kitchen. Answer questions about what is in your fridge and how your family buys food.

Read the full brief here

Venezuela was my favourite submission

When talking to freelancers from other regions, English is often not their first language. You are talking to people all over the world, so you must make sure your brief is as clear as possible. Use short sentences and plain English. It should be concise and absent from colloquialisms I find that once you start a project, the quality of the work submitted is reflective of how good your brief is. Anything that is not immediately clear will soon become clear in submission errors. E.g. Even though I asked for photographs of a family in the kitchen – people misconstrued that as meaning the family had to be next to the fridge – which was not the case and so was made clearer in the brief.

There is almost an art in crafting a brief that is succinct, without omitting important details. Ultimately when done well, it means you get a consistent collection of photos that feel like a series. It also means that if work comes back which isn’t quite right, you have something to reference as a reason for not accepting work. Common problems we have come across in the past include: photos being too dark, the wrong orientation, or not taken straight, etc.

Often, especially when working with people where English is not their first language, use imagery to communicate, instead of words, i.e. show an image of an open fridge. It also helps to use clear bullet points detailing the resolution, format, and what you are and are not expecting to receive. Communicate with your freelancers regularly. If you need them to do work on a specific day, e.g. Christmas Day, check in the day before to make sure they are prepped and ready to go.

The remainder of this post takes on an FAQ-style format. I hope that some, if not all, of the answers, will shed some light on how best to approach freelancer sites in your upcoming projects.

Which freelancer sites do you use? Fiverr Upwork People Per Hour How do you find the freelancers on these sites? For working with a large number of freelancers, often over 100 at any one time, I find Upwork the best platform with the highest quality of submissions. What sort of thing have I used freelancer sites for? 30 people to fill in a survey, and upload a photo – UK specific 120+ people to take photos – worldwide How to avoid getting struck off? Be aware that freelancer sites are always monitoring your activity and correspondence with freelancers. All payment must happen within the freelancer site. All communication must happen in the freelancer site. Do not accept email addresses and bank details from freelancers. Pay respondents in a timely fashion. Some freelance sites, such as Upwork, do not like freelancers to complete work outside of the freelancer site, e.g. on a Google form. However, others, like People Per Hour has no problem with this. How to find the right people? Filter by country. Use avatars to choose gender. Filter by job type, e.g. photographer, copywriter, logo designer etc. Filter by the number of successful jobs freelancer has done in the past. Live chat for help at any time. Good use of the filter system will make your job a lot easier.

What is the success rate? Not all the submissions you get will be good. I found that out of 120 submissions 40 were of very high quality, 40 were passable, 20 poor and 20 did not complete the job or misunderstood the brief entirely. After all, you can not expect much more for $10. You will find that people can misunderstand the brief, which might lead you to tweak the wording as you progress. What should you look out for? People sending you fake submissions in the form of images taken from the internet. Do a reverse image search if you are suspicious. People asking for half the payment upfront, and then disappearing without a trace! Upwork has a limit on the number of people you can hire per day. It is 100 people per day – so be selective with your hiring. Over time certain countries will be easier to fulfil, e.g. Poland, India, and Ukraine, because there are more freelancers based there, whereas places like Iceland or New Zealand may be harder to reach. You will brief some people and then they will fall off the face of the planet. But don’t worry – you won’t lose your money as they have not submitted the work. Just move on and hire someone else. How much should you pay your freelancers? This is especially difficult to gauge when working with freelancers worldwide. $10 may mean a lot more to people in some countries than it does in others. People per hour has a $9 minimum spend. On Fiver people offer their services for as little as $5. Freelancers have the option to ask for more money for a job. You can then decide by viewing their portfolio if you think the increased fee is worth it. For a short survey or a few photographs that should take a respondent no more than 15 minutes, we pay $10. Due to the low value of these mini-jobs the quality is not always amazing, but that is to be expected. Just increase the number of submissions you collect to compensate for the bad ones. How should you manage your relationship with freelancers? Make sure you build a relationship. Be human: use your first name. Check in to see if they have any questions. Check availability ahead of time. Create a spreadsheet of those with the strongest skills by country. Having a database is then useful for future projects. How did it work with the Admiral project? We gathered over 50+ submissions for a project that only required 20 participants, so we could ensure a good spread of high-quality submissions. We hired two participants for each country we wanted to feature. A truly ‘world’ overview should have at least a few submissions per continent. The fridges campaign included: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Finland, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Wales. What to look out for in image quality? Don’t accept images with an overhead glare. People cutting out images: in other cultures, sparkly, white cut out images are on trend, so stress that this is not what you are looking for. Things in images that are not right for your client’s brand, e.g. alcohol or risque clothing. If you are showing a world overview there will be disparities in wealth, cleanliness, and even the technology that people have available to take photos with. This should be explained to a client upfront, but you should also be sensitive to these differences. Good image examples

Poor quality image examples

What about permissions and licenses? Contractually, once work is paid for, the rights to that belong to you, the purchaser. If other people besides the freelancer you are working with are in the photo, they must ask anyone featured for permission before photographing them. Mention this in your brief. Any tips on promotion? When outreaching to different countries publications they will want their country to be included in the list. If you have not been able to get a submission from a specific country you can always ask a publication to take their own photo, this worked well for us with Daily Mail Australia. Turn your assets into grids, so there are large assets that essentially include the whole piece to share. Make sure there is a human element to your photos, we connect most with other faces. If you have enough submissions keep some back so journalists have exclusives.

To conclude, yes, it can be a hard slog. But it is also a great way to gather low-cost, original content from a diverse range of people, and we’ve found that this, in turn, fuels some great stories and coverage.

Working with freelancer sites

At Distilled we have become a dab hand at creating photo stories. Ones which take you on a journey around the world comparing different human facets that give us an interesting insight into different cultures.

In the past we have looked at:

The view out of people’s windows for electronic motor for blinds brand Somfy.

What Christmas dinner looks like for artificial Christmas tree brand Balsam Hill.

The inside of people's fridges for the home insurance arm of Admiral.

This post will focus on a case study of our most recent project for Admiral, and how we gathered images of families and their fridges from all around the world using freelancer sites. Obtaining original, royalty-free imagery is something that we have found invaluable in these campaigns and is something that journalists love.

Start with a clear brief for the freelancers

Project Overview

We are collecting photos of fridges from around the world.

Can you take a photo of your open fridge, and tell us about the food inside?

Brief

Take a high-quality professional photo of the inside of your fridge.

Take a photo of an item in your fridge which is a treat.

Take a photograph of your family in the kitchen.

Answer questions about what is in your fridge and how your family buys food.

Read the full brief here

Venezuela was my favourite submission

When talking to freelancers from other regions, English is often not their first language. You are talking to people all over the world, so you must make sure your brief is as clear as possible. Use short sentences and plain English. It should be concise and absent from colloquialisms I find that once you start a project, the quality of the work submitted is reflective of how good your brief is. Anything that is not immediately clear will soon become clear in submission errors. E.g. Even though I asked for photographs of a family in the kitchen – people misconstrued that as meaning the family had to be next to the fridge – which was not the case and so was made clearer in the brief.

There is almost an art in crafting a brief that is succinct, without omitting important details. Ultimately when done well, it means you get a consistent collection of photos that feel like a series. It also means that if work comes back which isn’t quite right, you have something to reference as a reason for not accepting work. Common problems we have come across in the past include: photos being too dark, the wrong orientation, or not taken straight, etc.

Often, especially when working with people where English is not their first language, use imagery to communicate, instead of words, i.e. show an image of an open fridge. It also helps to use clear bullet points detailing the resolution, format, and what you are and are not expecting to receive. Communicate with your freelancers regularly. If you need them to do work on a specific day, e.g. Christmas Day, check in the day before to make sure they are prepped and ready to go.

The remainder of this post takes on an FAQ-style format. I hope that some, if not all, of the answers, will shed some light on how best to approach freelancer sites in your upcoming projects.

Which freelancer sites do you use?

Fiverr

Upwork

People Per Hour

How do you find the freelancers on these sites?

For working with a large number of freelancers, often over 100 at any one time, I find Upwork the best platform with the highest quality of submissions.

What sort of thing have I used freelancer sites for?

30 people to fill in a survey, and upload a photo – UK specific

120+ people to take photos – worldwide

How to avoid getting struck off?

Be aware that freelancer sites are always monitoring your activity and correspondence with freelancers.

All payment must happen within the freelancer site.

All communication must happen in the freelancer site.

Do not accept email addresses and bank details from freelancers.

Pay respondents in a timely fashion.

Some freelance sites, such as Upwork, do not like freelancers to complete work outside of the freelancer site, e.g. on a Google form. However, others, like People Per Hour has no problem with this.

How to find the right people?

Filter by country.

Use avatars to choose gender.

Filter by job type, e.g. photographer, copywriter, logo designer etc.

Filter by the number of successful jobs freelancer has done in the past.

Live chat for help at any time.

Good use of the filter system will make your job a lot easier.

What is the success rate?

Not all the submissions you get will be good.

I found that out of 120 submissions 40 were of very high quality, 40 were passable, 20 poor and 20 did not complete the job or misunderstood the brief entirely. After all, you can not expect much more for $10.

You will find that people can misunderstand the brief, which might lead you to tweak the wording as you progress.

What should you look out for?

People sending you fake submissions in the form of images taken from the internet. Do a reverse image search if you are suspicious.

People asking for half the payment upfront, and then disappearing without a trace!

Upwork has a limit on the number of people you can hire per day. It is 100 people per day – so be selective with your hiring. Over time certain countries will be easier to fulfil, e.g. Poland, India, and Ukraine, because there are more freelancers based there, whereas places like Iceland or New Zealand may be harder to reach.

You will brief some people and then they will fall off the face of the planet. But don’t worry – you won’t lose your money as they have not submitted the work. Just move on and hire someone else.

How much should you pay your freelancers?

This is especially difficult to gauge when working with freelancers worldwide. $10 may mean a lot more to people in some countries than it does in others.

People per hour has a $9 minimum spend. On Fiver people offer their services for as little as $5.

Freelancers have the option to ask for more money for a job. You can then decide by viewing their portfolio if you think the increased fee is worth it.

For a short survey or a few photographs that should take a respondent no more than 15 minutes, we pay $10.

Due to the low value of these mini-jobs the quality is not always amazing, but that is to be expected. Just increase the number of submissions you collect to compensate for the bad ones.

How should you manage your relationship with freelancers?

Make sure you build a relationship.

Be human: use your first name.

Check in to see if they have any questions.

Check availability ahead of time.

Create a spreadsheet of those with the strongest skills by country. Having a database is then useful for future projects.

How did it work with the Admiral project?

We gathered over 50+ submissions for a project that only required 20 participants, so we could ensure a good spread of high-quality submissions.

We hired two participants for each country we wanted to feature.

A truly ‘world’ overview should have at least a few submissions per continent. The fridges campaign included: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Finland, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Wales.

What to look out for in image quality?

Don’t accept images with an overhead glare.

People cutting out images: in other cultures, sparkly, white cut out images are on trend, so stress that this is not what you are looking for.

Things in images that are not right for your client's brand, e.g. alcohol or risque clothing.

If you are showing a world overview there will be disparities in wealth, cleanliness, and even the technology that people have available to take photos with. This should be explained to a client upfront, but you should also be sensitive to these differences.

Good image examples

Poor quality image examples

What about permissions and licenses?

Contractually, once work is paid for, the rights to that belong to you, the purchaser.

If other people besides the freelancer you are working with are in the photo, they must ask anyone featured for permission before photographing them. Mention this in your brief.

Any tips on promotion?

When outreaching to different countries publications they will want their country to be included in the list. If you have not been able to get a submission from a specific country you can always ask a publication to take their own photo, this worked well for us with Daily Mail Australia.

Turn your assets into grids, so there are large assets that essentially include the whole piece to share.

Make sure there is a human element to your photos, we connect most with other faces.

If you have enough submissions keep some back so journalists have exclusives.

To conclude, yes, it can be a hard slog. But it is also a great way to gather low-cost, original content from a diverse range of people, and we’ve found that this, in turn, fuels some great stories and coverage.

How to avoid getting struck off?

Be aware that freelancer sites are always monitoring your activity and correspondence with freelancers.

All payment must happen within the freelancer site.

All communication must happen in the freelancer site.

Do not accept email addresses and bank details from freelancers.

Pay respondents in a timely fashion.

Some freelance sites, such as Upwork, do not like freelancers to complete work outside of the freelancer site, e.g. on a Google form. However, others, like People Per Hour has no problem with this.

How to find the right people?

Filter by country.

Use avatars to choose gender.

Filter by job type, e.g. photographer, copywriter, logo designer etc.

Filter by the number of successful jobs freelancer has done in the past.

Live chat for help at any time.

Good use of the filter system will make your job a lot easier.

What is the success rate?

Not all the submissions you get will be good.

I found that out of 120 submissions 40 were of very high quality, 40 were passable, 20 poor and 20 did not complete the job or misunderstood the brief entirely. After all, you can not expect much more for $10.

You will find that people can misunderstand the brief, which might lead you to tweak the wording as you progress.

What should you look out for?

People sending you fake submissions in the form of images taken from the internet. Do a reverse image search if you are suspicious.

People asking for half the payment upfront, and then disappearing without a trace!

Upwork has a limit on the number of people you can hire per day. It is 100 people per day – so be selective with your hiring. Over time certain countries will be easier to fulfil, e.g. Poland, India, and Ukraine, because there are more freelancers based there, whereas places like Iceland or New Zealand may be harder to reach.

You will brief some people and then they will fall off the face of the planet. But don’t worry – you won’t lose your money as they have not submitted the work. Just move on and hire someone else.

How much should you pay your freelancers?

This is especially difficult to gauge when working with freelancers worldwide. $10 may mean a lot more to people in some countries than it does in others.

People per hour has a $9 minimum spend. On Fiver people offer their services for as little as $5.

Freelancers have the option to ask for more money for a job. You can then decide by viewing their portfolio if you think the increased fee is worth it.

For a short survey or a few photographs that should take a respondent no more than 15 minutes, we pay $10.

Due to the low value of these mini-jobs the quality is not always amazing, but that is to be expected. Just increase the number of submissions you collect to compensate for the bad ones.

How should you manage your relationship with freelancers?

Make sure you build a relationship.

Be human: use your first name.

Check in to see if they have any questions.

Check availability ahead of time.

Create a spreadsheet of those with the strongest skills by country. Having a database is then useful for future projects.

How did it work with the Admiral project?

We gathered over 50+ submissions for a project that only required 20 participants, so we could ensure a good spread of high-quality submissions.

We hired two participants for each country we wanted to feature.

A truly ‘world’ overview should have at least a few submissions per continent. The fridges campaign included: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Finland, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Wales.

What to look out for in image quality?

Don’t accept images with an overhead glare.

People cutting out images: in other cultures, sparkly, white cut out images are on trend, so stress that this is not what you are looking for.

Things in images that are not right for your client's brand, e.g. alcohol or risque clothing.

If you are showing a world overview there will be disparities in wealth, cleanliness, and even the technology that people have available to take photos with. This should be explained to a client upfront, but you should also be sensitive to these differences.

Good image examples

Poor quality image examples

What about permissions and licenses?

Contractually, once work is paid for, the rights to that belong to you, the purchaser.

If other people besides the freelancer you are working with are in the photo, they must ask anyone featured for permission before photographing them. Mention this in your brief.

Any tips on promotion?

When outreaching to different countries publications they will want their country to be included in the list. If you have not been able to get a submission from a specific country you can always ask a publication to take their own photo, this worked well for us with Daily Mail Australia.

Turn your assets into grids, so there are large assets that essentially include the whole piece to share.

Make sure there is a human element to your photos, we connect most with other faces.

If you have enough submissions keep some back so journalists have exclusives.

To conclude, yes, it can be a hard slog. But it is also a great way to gather low-cost, original content from a diverse range of people, and we’ve found that this, in turn, fuels some great stories and coverage.

Working with freelancer sites

At Distilled we have become a dab hand at creating photo stories. Ones which take you on a journey around the world comparing different human facets that give us an interesting insight into different cultures.

In the past we have looked at:

The view out of people’s windows for electronic motor for blinds brand Somfy.

What Christmas dinner looks like for artificial Christmas tree brand Balsam Hill.

The inside of people's fridges for the home insurance arm of Admiral.

This post will focus on a case study of our most recent project for Admiral, and how we gathered images of families and their fridges from all around the world using freelancer sites. Obtaining original, royalty-free imagery is something that we have found invaluable in these campaigns and is something that journalists love.

Start with a clear brief for the freelancers

Project Overview

We are collecting photos of fridges from around the world.

Can you take a photo of your open fridge, and tell us about the food inside?

Brief

Take a high-quality professional photo of the inside of your fridge.

Take a photo of an item in your fridge which is a treat.

Take a photograph of your family in the kitchen.

Answer questions about what is in your fridge and how your family buys food.

Read the full brief here

Venezuela was my favourite submission

When talking to freelancers from other regions, English is often not their first language. You are talking to people all over the world, so you must make sure your brief is as clear as possible. Use short sentences and plain English. It should be concise and absent from colloquialisms I find that once you start a project, the quality of the work submitted is reflective of how good your brief is. Anything that is not immediately clear will soon become clear in submission errors. E.g. Even though I asked for photographs of a family in the kitchen – people misconstrued that as meaning the family had to be next to the fridge – which was not the case and so was made clearer in the brief.

There is almost an art in crafting a brief that is succinct, without omitting important details. Ultimately when done well, it means you get a consistent collection of photos that feel like a series. It also means that if work comes back which isn’t quite right, you have something to reference as a reason for not accepting work. Common problems we have come across in the past include: photos being too dark, the wrong orientation, or not taken straight, etc.

Often, especially when working with people where English is not their first language, use imagery to communicate, instead of words, i.e. show an image of an open fridge. It also helps to use clear bullet points detailing the resolution, format, and what you are and are not expecting to receive. Communicate with your freelancers regularly. If you need them to do work on a specific day, e.g. Christmas Day, check in the day before to make sure they are prepped and ready to go.

The remainder of this post takes on an FAQ-style format. I hope that some, if not all, of the answers, will shed some light on how best to approach freelancer sites in your upcoming projects.

Which freelancer sites do you use?

Fiverr

Upwork

People Per Hour

How do you find the freelancers on these sites?

For working with a large number of freelancers, often over 100 at any one time, I find Upwork the best platform with the highest quality of submissions.

Due to the low value of these mini-jobs the quality is not always amazing, but that is to be expected. Just increase the number of submissions you collect to compensate for the bad ones.

How should you manage your relationship with freelancers?

Make sure you build a relationship.

Be human: use your first name.

Check in to see if they have any questions.

Check availability ahead of time.

Create a spreadsheet of those with the strongest skills by country. Having a database is then useful for future projects.

How did it work with the Admiral project?

We gathered over 50+ submissions for a project that only required 20 participants, so we could ensure a good spread of high-quality submissions.

We hired two participants for each country we wanted to feature.

A truly ‘world’ overview should have at least a few submissions per continent. The fridges campaign included: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Finland, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Wales.

What to look out for in image quality?

Don’t accept images with an overhead glare.

People cutting out images: in other cultures, sparkly, white cut out images are on trend, so stress that this is not what you are looking for.

Things in images that are not right for your client's brand, e.g. alcohol or risque clothing.

If you are showing a world overview there will be disparities in wealth, cleanliness, and even the technology that people have available to take photos with. This should be explained to a client upfront, but you should also be sensitive to these differences.

What about permissions and licenses?

Contractually, once work is paid for, the rights to that belong to you, the purchaser.

If other people besides the freelancer you are working with are in the photo, they must ask anyone featured for permission before photographing them. Mention this in your brief.

Any tips on promotion?

When outreaching to different countries publications they will want their country to be included in the list. If you have not been able to get a submission from a specific country you can always ask a publication to take their own photo, this worked well for us with Daily Mail Australia.

Turn your assets into grids, so there are large assets that essentially include the whole piece to share.

Make sure there is a human element to your photos, we connect most with other faces.

If you have enough submissions keep some back so journalists have exclusives.

To conclude, yes, it can be a hard slog. But it is also a great way to gather low-cost, original content from a diverse range of people, and we’ve found that this, in turn, fuels some great stories and coverage.
