Models: The images will be part of a collection of eight photographs that document Nunnington Hall. From Workers in the gardens preserving the National park to the workers in the shops selling local produce from farms nearby. The models used will be other people taking photographs as it is more of a documentary type of photography rather than a photojournalist approach.

Props: Props used will only be that of what is found at Nunnington Hall, such as the tables and chairs found in the interior of the site.

Risk assessment completed? Yes

Contingency: To go into York city centre and take images of the old buildings and walls. Also as Nunnington halls staff might not be working, a contingency is put in place to take photographs of any workers in the garden industry. Should the weather effect the outcome of the photographs then it has been thought about to take the image indoors. One shoot should be enough to take the documentary images however if needed a location will be prepared for a second shoot. If the battery on the camera dies out then I will have a charger ready to get it back running and whilst waiting I will look at the location and what settings will be appropriate. If the camera does not work on the day of the trip then Thursday will be used to go to a different location of York centre and images will be taken with a different camera. If the tripod used for the photographs does not work or the spirit level is broken, I will make my body a tripod to keep the camera as still as possible to avoid any camera shake in the photographs.

What Health and Safety legislation might you need to consider in this project?

Health and safety at work act 1974. I am to consider the general duties of the students when they the care of the tutors. I will therefore look at students acting responsibly and being safe when around certain sites or equipment. To also consider the tutors (People in charge of students behaviour) and the way they should act. They should be trained to deal with certain aspects of the trip and to set an example on how to behave in the premises of a National Park. They should also know whether the location of where the students going is safe. Also instruct the students to take photographs without supervision.

Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations act 1992. This may be considered when editing the images taken on the computer. Regular breaks to be taken to avoid eye problems.

Control of Hazardous and health (COSHH) regulations (2002). Registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction to chemicals (REACH) both of these are used for risk assessment

Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)
