Photo Studio Recce

 Are there any potential hazards? 

Potential hazards of a photo studio could be that one or more of the equipment could fall on someone, or that there could be an electrical error and someone could be electrocuted. 

What will you do minimise these risks?

I will make sure only experienced people manage the equipment, so inexperienced individuals (such as the model and myself) will have a less chance of being injured by them.

Will the time of day/weather affect the photoshoot?

The time of day/weather will not matter, as the photoshoot will take place indoors where lighting will be controlled to my liking.

Have you considered the background?

I will want the background to be plain, so that the audience’s attention will not be distracted away from the image, and so the text will be read easily.

Are other people/crowds an issue?

Other people will not be a problem, as I will book a time so that the only people in the studio will be people I have allowed/have to be in.

Have you considered lighting?

The lighting will be three-point, so that the model will be visible, without any interferences or problems created by natural lighting.

Do you need permission?

I will need permission to use a photo studio. To book a time in a studio, my lecturer emailed the official in charge, as per their instruction.

Are you reliant on props/lifts/equipment/models?

I will have to organise a model. Equipment will most probably already be available in the studio. The studio is on the college campus, so additional travel arrangements will not be needed. The props needed are mainly food items, so if I cannot acquire these items then I will instruct my model to do so. 

Have you thought of every eventuality?

If my desired model is not available, then I will ask another person to model for me. If I cannot book a time in the photo studio, then I will perform the photoshoot in my own bedroom.
