1. Are there any potential hazards that
could pose a health and safety risk where your photo shoot will take place
(trailing cables/traffic/other objects )?
When I take my photos I will be taking them in a photography studio so there may be cables from lights ect. that may cause hazards as people may trip over them and either hurt themselves or break the lights. Also if I decide to use any props in my photos they will be in the studio so people may also do the same with them and trip over them and potentially break them or hurt themselves.
2. What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?
When taking the photos I wont have too many people in the studio so I will be able to see where everyone is and make sure thet theu dont trip or break anything. I will also be careful when setting up the studio so it is tidy and there wont be anything where there shouldn't be so it minimises the chances of poeple tripping over things.
3. Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?
As I am planning on taking my photos in a studio the time of day or the weather shouldn't really affect the outcome of the photos. However if I dont get the chance to use the studio I will have to take my photos around midday when it is light outside so the photos arent dull and so they have enough light from the natural outdoor light.
4. Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?
For my photos I know that I want to have a plain white background as I think that this will suit the style that I want my magazine to have. I know that if I use the studio the background will be a plain white, but if I don't have the studio I will have to find a substitute area that I can use with a plain whit background, such as a plain white wall.
5. Have you considered lighting? What about the ‘problems’ of natural lighting, either outside, or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that might spoil the effect?
If I use the studio I know that won't have to worry about natural lighting as I know that the lighting used in the is artificial. But if I have to use another location I will have to think carefully about the time of day and the weather when taking my photos as I know that those things will affect the outcome of the photos. If the day when I decide to take my photos is a particularly dull day I will have to use the flash on the camera as I do want my photos to be well lit. Another thing I will have to consider when I choose my location to take my photos is whether there is anything that might shadow or reflect on the model.
6. Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?
My original choice of location is in a photography studio at St.Peters university which is next to my college. In order to book the studio I will have to email the lecturer in charge of the studio and see when there are any days when the studio is free.
7. Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)?
When I email the lecturer I will ask when the studio will be free and I will ask them when it will be possible for me to come and take my photos. I will have to make sure that none of the dates that are free clash with any of my other lessons.
8. Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect?
If I get a spot in the studio I will make sure that only people that only the people need to be in the room are in the room. Because of the background that I want my pictures to have I won't have to worry abut other people being in the background and disrupting the image.
9. Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends’ equipment/models? How have you planned that these things will come together at the appointed time? Plan B?
I have two choices of which camera I will use to take my photos as I have my own good quality camera, but I also know that if something happens to that there will be others which I can borrow from the college which are also of a good quality. I have to try and schedule when I book the studio around my models college timetable as well so I definitely know that they will be available, however if something does happen so this model and they cannot do it then I have another person that I can use. I have also got another studio that I could consider using at the Bede campus if I cannot get a spot at the university.
10. Finally, have you thought of every eventuality?
I think that I have considered every aspect that could possibly go wrong and I have thought of ways that I could get around it, and still have my photos of a good quality and so they're appropriate for the magazine.
When I take my photos I will be taking them in a photography studio so there may be cables from lights ect. that may cause hazards as people may trip over them and either hurt themselves or break the lights. Also if I decide to use any props in my photos they will be in the studio so people may also do the same with them and trip over them and potentially break them or hurt themselves.
