August Photo Directory Update

It’s almost the end of August! Time for an update on all things Photos.

Contributor Days this year have gone really well. We’ve onboarded many photographers into what kinds of photo subjects are acceptable, how we evaluate photos for inclusion in the photos directory, and what makes a good photo in general.

We’ve also begun onboarding new members to the photo moderators team.

If you’d like to contribute photos to the directory, you can do that at WordPress.org/photos.

If you’d like to join the moderators team, you can do that at make.wordpress.org/photos/handbook/moderating-photos
