The potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk in the professional studio are all of the wires and cables trailing on the from appliances such as the studio lighting which cause a potential tripping hazard, or obtrusive furniture which is in the way of where I am wanting to take the photographs, such as the chairs which are around to be used. Another hazard could be the backdrop, which is a set up of white fabric, as where this is taped to the floor there is the potential risk of tripping if it is not completely flat.
To ensure these risks are minimised I will ensure the floor is clean and dry before we start the photo shoot to avoid the slipping hazard, and ensure the backdrop is secured safely and flat to the floor so there is no chance of catching your foot on it and falling. I will make my models aware of wires so they avoid tripping on them and if possible I will move these wires however this might not be possible as the studio lights are set up to be positioned in a certain place.
In the studio the time of day and weather will have no effect on the photos as the studio lighting will be used, however for one of my contents page images where I would like it to be against an outdoor, urban looking background I will ensure I choose my time of day carefully therefore have chosen midday, so that the daylight is at its brightest. If the weather is bad such as a dull, cloudy day, the outcome of my photos will be effected as bright, natural night is essential in making my photos come out as good a quality as possible so to ensure this doesn't affect the outcome of my photos I have allowed a few days where myself and my models are available to take this particular image incase the weather is particularly bad one day.
My photos will have a plain white back drop, which will already be set up in the photographic studio. I would also like to take a photo for my contents page outside, either on a brick or wooden wall so there is an urban feel to the image, and because these are both common things I will not have difficulty ensuring that I find a background of this sort.
Permission is needed to take the photos in the studio I have in mind, so by doing this recce I confirmed with the owner of the studio at Sunderland University that I would be able to use the studio, and I have booked a time in which myself, the models, and the studio itself are free to carry out the photoshoot as students at the university would get priority booking. I will then email the owner of the studio to confirm the booking. For this I have booked around 5 hours to ensure that ample time is available for hair and makeup changes.
Other people and crowds would be an issue in my photos as I am aiming for such a simple and plain background therefore to ensure this won't spoil the effect I will photograph one model at a time (unless it is a group shot) and make sure no one is in the area I am shooting when I take the photos. Although this should not be an issue in the studio, I have still bared this problem in mind.
To ensure all of the equipment and models I need come together at the appointed time I have ensured both my models and the owner of the studio are well informed of the arrangements and have pre-prepared the makeup, clothes, and props I will take. I have also prepared the camera and the owner of the studio has offered a variety of props which I will be able to try out on the day of the shoot. Plan B for the photo shoot would be to book another time if it does not go to plan, or use my friends house where there is a plain neutral coloured wall in a light room to take the photographs however this would not be as good a quality.
