Ensure you always have the camera
strap around your neck when you
are using it. If using a tripod, fasten
the thread securely.
Do not run around when in the
photography room as there are a lot
of cables lying around.
Make sure you turn all the lights
off.
Do not run when handling the
camera to avoid dropping it or
knocking it over (if on a tripod)
and always put it down when
not in use.
Make sure you put the cables to
aside to avoid tripping over
them and do not mess around
when in the studio i.e. running.
When finished in the
photography studio, ensure the
ceiling lights are off but more
importantly the spot lights are
off and unplugged as they
could overheat and the studio
contains large paper backdrops.
