Photoshoot 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 is a chance that there will be wires on the floor.

What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised? I will make sure that the area is tidy and there is no wires to trip over.

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this? I am going to take my photos inside so the weather will not affect the photos. However I will have to take my photos in the morning/early afternoon as it will be bright then which will make the photos look better.

4.    Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? I am going to use a plain wall in my house for the background.


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? I am planning on taking my photos inside at day time so the natural light should be good. However, if it is not I will use my flash and artificial lighting.

6.    Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind? I am taking the photos in my house so I don't need permission.

7.    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)? I do not need to book any rooms.

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? I am taking the photos at home so there is only a few people to control who is present.

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? The only things I will need will be clothes and make up which I have. I have asked my auntie to model so she will be more reliable.

10.    Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…? I think I have thought of everything but if I have not and there is a problem, I will deal with it in the best way possible.
