-Make sure you watch where you
are walking at all times
-Wires which are not needed and
are in the way could be moved
-Make sure that when you are
taking photos to watch where you
are going so you don’t walk into
anyone
-Whilst taking the images make
sure you look around before you
move so you don’t bump into a
light stand
- Make sure you watch where you
are walking at all times
-When enterting a room point
out all the wires to those who
are going to be in the
photoshoot room so they are
aware where they could trip
over.
-Try to take the images when
there are likely to be a low
flow of student e.g. at lesson
time rather than in lunch time
-stand in a position where you
are behind the lights so that if
you do move without looking
you don’t go back into a light
-before taking the images,
make sure you have checked
the whole room for anything
lying around, pick it up and put
it in a safe place where no one
will trip over it
