Risk assessment

1. Risk assessment
When I am going out of college to take photos I need to make sure that I am careful
and if I go to places I have never been before I need to be careful.
Risk assessed Shooting Location Responsibly Strategy to outcome/
Prevention
Illness All My model To prevent my model
being sick during the
photo shoot I will make
sure that she is feeling
well enough before we
start the shoot and make
sure she is not unwell at
all. I will be doing most of
the shooting in my dads
house so if she is ill she
will have people around
her to help her, not just
me.
Weather Outside My model and me I do not plan to do shoots
outside but if I do I will
only do it if it is good
weather, but bad weather
might make my pictures
better it might flow well
with my magazine.
Memory card full All Me I will ensure that I take
two memory cards but if I
cannot I will make sure
there is nothing on the
one I use. I am taking a
computer with me to my
dads house so I can just
put the photos on there if
we run out of memory.

All Me or model Before I do the photo
shoot I will make sure
that neither me or the
model are not doing
anything on that day and
if we are I will change the
date and make sure
everyone is free.

2. Broken Equipment All Me The equipment that I will
be using will be my own,
it will be my dads things
and nothing has ever
broke before so I will just
have to be careful when I
am using the equipment.
Low battery All Me The Camera that I will be
using will be fully charged
when I start the photo
shoot, I will make sure
that when I leave that it is
fully charged, however I
am doing the photo shoot
in a house so I can take
breaks while the camera
charges.
My model not doing their
job
All The model If the model becomes shy
I will just have to convince
her that there are people
that don’t even know her
seeing the photos and
that its not the end of the
world. However the
model that I have chosen
is very out going and
knows what to do and has
done it before and I have
told her what she will be
doing so she is ready for
whatever I tell her to do.
Lighting All Me The lighting that I am
using will be the lighting
that is in my dads house
and if it is not very bright I
can get lamps from
around the house, worst
case I can come into
college and do my photo
shoot because they have
a lot of lights.
Location is unavailable All Neither The location I am using is
my dads house and the
only reason that it would
be unavailable is if he
wasn’t in, but I could
arrange it with him to

3. make sure that he will be
in.
Trip hazards My dads studio Me The location is not very
messy as it is my dads
house and it is in his
dining room which is
rather big and space wont
be a problem so I am
hoping that people wont
trip over, if it is messy I
will tidy up the area so
there are no risks of this.
Software All Me The software that I will
use could crash however I
will save my work every
10-15 minutes.
Electricals All Me Electric is going to be a
problem everywhere and
in all areas of my photo
shoot to getting to the
photo shoot and to the
editing, so I am going to
have to be as careful as
possible with all electrical
equipment, unplug or
turn off stuff that I am not
using.
Money All Me Money wont be an issue,
my dad will pick us up and
take us to his so I do not
have to pay for travel, he
will also bring us back.
There is no money issue
there. With the
equipment I can either
borrow from the college
or from my own stuff or
my dads stuff so I do not
have to buy anything as
the college have pretty
much everything.
