Taking photos in public areas or of individuals poses risks that require mitigation. For photos in a corridor, clearly marking the photo shoot and keeping equipment organized could avoid obstructing traffic or evacuations. For photos of people, ensuring explicit consent is given avoids risks of embarrassment, aggression or disputes over image usage.
