Risk Assessment.

I had to draw up a risk assessment before producing the images for my magazine, it was vital that the model I chose for the photo shoot was safe.

Due to my magazine portraying the genre of 'indie/pop', the background of the images were extremely important, I wanted to make it look quite adventurous. 

The place of the photo shoot were chosen in the school surroundings, this made it easier for the model and I to meet up and take the photos without inconvenience. I chose to take most of my images under a bridge of the school, the natural background added interest to the photo. The natural dirt and nature came with the chosen background, I thought it was a brilliant place to take the photo and help follow the Indie convention.

As the background was so natural and was located on a slight hill, I had to be sure the model felt comfortable and safe. There were many bumps on the hill, so it was important to make sure the model didn't trip.

I also borrowed  a photography camera from school, due to the background being outside, I had to be careful with the handling the camera. 

To take the close up for the front cover of the magazine, I had to use a white back ground, I simply used a white background, no risks were involved.
