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)?

Some images will be taken near roads and near water which are a clear risk.  The roads could be busy when I take the photo shoot and it could end up being very bad weather with rain and wind.  This is not only a risk to people, but to the equipment I will be using too. 
2)What will you do to ensure these risks are minimized?
To reduce these risks I will take the location photos when there is less traffic.  A suitable time for this is a morning during the week.  The images taken near water will not be hazardous as I will not go too close to the water therefore both myself, the people with me and the equipment will not be at risk. 
3)  Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?
The photos taken outdoors are not dependent on lots of light but cannot be taken when it’s raining or when it is dark.  Because of this, the images will be taken during the day when the weather is suitable.  The images taken indoors will be taken during the day however they will not require beams of sunlight. 
4)Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?
The images taken indoors will have more basic backgrounds however the outdoor images will contain more.  The image for the magazine’s front cover will take place in an urban environment, since my region is in the North East and so an urban environment is well suited for it.  
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? 
The front cover will require a degree of lighting on my model, however other than that, not much lighting is required.
 6) Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?

No
7)    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)?  

No 
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 do not need to worry about crowds as i plan to take photos under the teeside bridge 
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? 
 be taken. I have one prop that is mine that i plan to use, which is a clapperboard. I plan to use my friends camera as a prop aswell. I have a plan B, where i will simply use me as the model and my clapperboard. 
10. Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…?

From doing this recce, I am confident that I can carry out an effective and careful photo shoot and that I can get the images I need in order to create well designed products.
