The photographer chose a rural field location for a photoshoot promoting an indie music artist to connect the genre with nature. The model wore casual clothes representing individuality. When they arrived, the photographer instructed the model on posing to match the planned shots before sunset. Photos were taken from the middle of the field and by a tree to frame the landscape. The shoot went according to plan within an hour without any safety issues.

1. Evidence
The location for my photoshoot was the field because
it was very rural and therefore would give the
impression that the artist is in touch with nature and
could decide the particular target audience who
would be attracted to this type of music. This is
because the genre would be determined through the
location as it shows an unspoiled landscape which
links well to the chosen genre of Indie as it was fist
created as a form of hippie music which is most
certainly in touch with nature.
Before we went to the location I told my actor what to wear, jeans with a white top and a denim
jacket which is quite casual as it represents the music which focuses on individuality, I also
informed him of wearing suitable footwear in order to stick to the
risk assessment. This was so he would be prepared for the arrival at
the location, as we did not have much time because the sun was
beginning to set and we were going to lose good lighting. When we
got to the location I told my actor how and where he should stand
in order to match my plan.
I set up my equipment in the middle of the field so that it looked
down through the other fields and highlighted the genre which is
focusing around being natural through expressing your individuality.
As the photos were relatively simple I only needed a camera (with
the battery and SD card) and a tripod.
I was not too focused on my actors
face as it was going to be covered
for my poster and digipack with flowers, to imply that my actor is
showing an expression of individuality because the flowers (that
represent his inner self) are covering his face (which portrays a
mask).
My photoshoot started too over exposed so we dimmed down
the exposure in order to make the images clearer. After we took
photos in the middle of the field we moved to a tree and took a
couple of photos there where my actor stood on different sides of
the tree to determine which side revealed a nicer view of the
field.
After just under an hour all the photos I needed had been taken and we had stuck to the risk
assessment so no camera equipment was damaged and no one was hurt.
