Recce


     There aren't many potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where my photo shoot will take place, although there may be various trailing cables which I will inform my model about so that there is minimum chance of an accident. There may also be various objects around the area we will be working in which could get in the way as the shoot will be taken in my house. If necessary, I will move objects in order to make the photo shoot easier and more spacious for taking the photos. I will make sure that once I have completed my models hair and makeup, all wires will be removed from the area we will be working and all objects will be cleared from the floor.
       
     The time of day will affect the outcome of the photos taken, although if it is impossible for my model to be pictured during the day I can always use the flash on my camera which will brighten the image. I have planned to organize the photoshoot for around midday as there will be natural lighting in my house to use in my photographs. I may also try taking some images later in the day by using the flash to compare images and see which come out best. The weather shouldn't affect my photoshoot as it is being held indoors.



I have considered taking my photos against a plain background so that the main focus is on my model and her appearance. The chosen photos can then be edited easily, enabling me to change the background colour using Photoshop if wanted.
      
     As the photoshoot is taking place in my house, I don't need to book a room at a studio or ask for permission to take the photos. Although, I have informed my mam that I will be taking photos in her house and made sure that she is fine with it. I have also contacted my model and made sure that she can get to my house on the chosen day and also made sure that we have plenty of time to get the photos taken.
     
     It is very unlikely that there will be people that could be an issue for me when taking my photos as I am informing everyone when it will be taking place. Although my mam does work from home therefore there could potentially be small distractions, but I will make sure she is aware of which room I will be using and what time its happening to avoid distractions.
     
     Myself and my model won't be reliant on lifts as the photoshoot is taking place in my house and my model, Hannah, lives only a couple of minutes away from me therefore it's walking distance. I am very reliant on my model as she is important for my photoshoot, however Hannah has insisted she will be free for the shoot  and will be organized for the time. If the worst was to happen and Hannah couldn't make it, I have asked my friend Chelsea If she could take her place and she was more than happy to do so.

  1. It would be good if you could include a photograph of where your photo shoot is taking place.
