location shoot planning


    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 )?
At gigs there is always hazards as with so much electrical equipment people have to be careful as a full room of people enjoying music with alcohol can get out of hand. However, like very good venue the venue where my photographs were taken, safety was a crucial concern taken seriously and i enjoyed the gig knowing i was safe as the promoters and the venue supplied staff to check the building in adavnced and everything was in working order. Cables from the bands equipment were only on stage in which the audience and me were well away from.


    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?

I personally made sure to be careful ensuring i cannot trip over any cables and cannot harm others. The venue staff ensured us all that the venue was safe by going from precedures that were enforced by the law so everything was safe i had no worries.


   
Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?
The time, day or weather will not effect the quality of my photogrpahs because all my locations will be indoors in dark venues with stage lighting use as lights. So any time or day i'm fine with.

 
Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?

In some images i want to keep the natural background of the photo but others i hope to edit so i can personaly add touches that will benefit the look of the magazine this is so i can add the logo and title of my magazine upon the images to keep a theme i intended to display.

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 have considered all possible problems. No naturas lighting can affect my photos as in venues there is a shortage of windows in most no windows at all. The only lighting problem i may come across is the stage lighting used at all the gigs I shot at because they can sometimes get blurred when I put flash on. However i avoided the stage ligting by capturing the band when thet lighting was focused on them alone which gave a better image overall

Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?

No, they were all local venues that were very kind and did not mind at all. but, it was important i got premission from the band and gratefully they did not mind at all.
Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio)?
No I do not.

Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect?

None of these were a problem at all because i wanted to cpature the interaction of the band and the crowd which displays a real enjoyable gig.

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?

Everything went to plan, however if i couldnt capture images i was allowed to capture a friends band any time i needed to.

Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…?
yes i have and nothing went wrong as i had full premission of everyone involved in taking the photographs.
