The potential hazards that could take place when shooting inside of the photography studio may  be things such as trailing cables for the lighting, I will brief my model(s) for any potential hazards that could take place inside the studio, making them aware of any trailing cables and the to ensure that they and I take care when walking on the backdrop as it could be a slippery surface hazard. When shooting outside me and my model(s) must be aware of any traffic that may be surrounding us.  Ensuring both me and my model(s) are aware of any of these hazards will help minimize the risk, we will also be filling out risk assessment forms.  When shooting photographs outside, the weather may impact our availability to do so. If it is raining we will be unable to shoot our photographs outside, although we will then be able to use the photography studio to take some images there. Our ideal time to take images outdoors will be through the day; therefore the natural lightening will make the images a higher quality, adjusting my camera lens accordingly. My desired background when taking photos outdoors will be a standard brick wall, it may have graffiti on as I am looking to create a natural urban feel.

When using the photography studio I will need to book it, therefore I will need to ensure both me and my model are available on the same day/time. When shooting my photographs outside, I will choose a quiet area with little traffic to ensure that other people/objects do not distract my model and spoil the image. I will plan when I will be taking the images with my models and book out photography studio and let them know the location when photographing outdoors. As I am using the photography studio and the outdoors, I will be able to use one or the other if the weather is bad or I am unable to use the studio, giving me more chance to take my images.
