Lucy set up her camera and tripod at different angles around the location to test different views. She was aware of the tight space and equipment positions to minimize risks. The building's power was turned off, so lighting was limited to the window. Lucy adjusted the camera's brightness settings and tested different levels until satisfied. One photo showed a lighting issue that caused sheet music text to be blurred or too bright. Lucy used a 10 second countdown on the camera for each shot. Some shots ended up out of focus as she focused on framing. Lucy handled props like a guitar and piano carefully as outlined in her risk assessment to avoid damage. She referred to her album and digipak designs during the shoot to stay close to her
