Date: Wednesday the 29th January 2014.
Location: Nunnington Hall, Ryedale
Equipment:
Booked? (Y/N)

Tripod

Models: The images will be part of a collection of eight photographs that document
Nunnington Hall. From Workers in the gardens preserving the National park to the
workers in the shops selling local produce from farms nearby. The models used will
be other people taking photographs as it is more of a documentary type of
photography rather than a photojournalist approach.
Props: Props used will only be that of what is found at Nunnington Hall, such as the
tables and chairs found in the interior of the site.
Risk assessment completed? Yes
Contingency: To go into York city centre and take images of the old buildings and
walls. Also as Nunnington halls staff might not be working, a contingency is put in
place to take photographs of any workers in the garden industry. Should the weather
effect the outcome of the photographs then it has been thought about to take the
image indoors. One shoot should be enough to take the documentary images
however if needed a location will be prepared for a second shoot.
