Location Recce

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 ) There will be no potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk because the photo shoot will be taking palace inside a photography studio that has already been risk assessed.

2.    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised? There will be no risks in need of being minimised within the photography studio. Although health and safety will be taken into full consideration at all times.

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this? No with the studio being inside the only consideration I will need to take into the account is the lighting within the studio.

4.    Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want? Within the studio I am going to use a relatively plain background to ensure that I can edit the image easily and cut out my model using photoshop.

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? With my photos being taken within a studio I will have full control of the lighting and natural lighting will not be an issue.

6.    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio)?  Yes I have booked the college photography studio in advance.           

7.    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 arranged to photograph a friend and we are both aware of the appointed time and where the studio is. In terms of props I will not be using very many and I am not reliant on them. My plan b would b photographing myself if my model did not turn up.
