Health and Safety

Throughout the project I have borne in mind health and safety.  When going out on photo shoots in the outdoors and parking up at the side of a road, I made sure I didn't just throw the car anywhere it could cause a problem.  Likewise with myself, I made sure I was safely in verges and if I did need to be in the road, make sure nothing was coming.

With my camera also, I made sure I didn't run with it whilst around my neck otherwise a little fall could have caused me and the camera much damage.  I always had the camera around my neck never just holding it incase I dropped it.

Whilst in the studio, I took care to ensure there were no trip hazards, that I didn't touch the fronts of lights that were hot, that I didn't swing the lights around on their frames carelessly.   When my models were in the studio I made sure that if I put them on furniture or used props, I did so in a responsible manner.  Similarly when photographing Melissa I made sure we didn't stay out too long in the snow especially at the end when she was lying on the floor!   Also I stood on a stool to photograph her from above, so I made sure the stool was sturdy and that I did not lose my balance and topple on her !   She was grateful for this!!
