Photography and videography play a vital role in the Royce Simmons Foundation’s storytelling. Our visual style is warm, genuine, and community-driven, using natural tones to reflect connection, support, and optimism. Imagery should feel open and authentic, with an emphasis on light, simplicity, and people, whether they’re walking, supporting, or sharing moments that reflect the spirit of the Foundation.
Photography / Event
When taking portraits for the Royce Simmons Foundation brand, aim to use natural light whenever possible and wear smart casual attire to enhance the brand’s approachable and professional image. Portraits should ideally be taken outdoors with greenery or foliage in the background to reflect our warm, community-focused visual style. This approach helps maintain consistency across all imagery, reinforcing trust and familiarity with our audience.

Any text or animations should be subtle, elegant, and consistent with the brand’s fonts and design style.

UGC (User-Generated Content) should feel authentic, relatable, and consistent with the brand’s refined yet approachable identity. While the tone can be more casual and conversational, visuals should still maintain a level of polish, with good lighting, clear audio, and thoughtful framing.
Where possible, creators should incorporate the Royce Simmons Foundation’s primary colour green subtly through wardrobe, props, or backgrounds. Content should highlight genuine experiences with the Foundation, focusing on trust, support, and the hope that comes from being part of a caring community. It’s important that creators come across as sincere and confident, avoiding exaggerated language or overproduction. The goal is to build connection through real stories while staying visually and tonally aligned with the Foundation’s values and aesthetic.
