The document outlines a photography shoot scheduled for January 29th at Nunnington Hall in Ryedale. Equipment including a DSLR camera, tripod, and memory cards have been booked. The images will be part of a documentary-style collection showing various aspects of Nunnington Hall. Models will be people taking photographs rather than posing. Props will only include items found on location. A risk assessment was completed and contingencies planned in case of issues with weather or staff availability.

1. Shooting Schedule
Date: Wednesday the 29th January 2014.

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.

3. What Health and Safety legislation might you need to consider in this project?
Health and safety at work act 1974. To consider the general duties of the students when in the care of
the tutors. That of acting responsibly and being safe when around certain sites or equipment. To also
consider the tutors (People in charge of students behaviour) and the way they should act. They should
be trained to deal with certain aspects of the trip and to set an example on how to behave in the
premises of a National Park. They should also know whether the location of where the students going is
safe. Also instruct the students to take photographs without supervision.
Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations act 1992. This may be considered when
editing the images taken on the computer. Regular breaks to be taken to avoid eye problems.
Control of Hazardous and health (COSHH) regulations (2002). Registration, evaluation,
authorisation and restriction to chemicals (REACH) both of these call for risk assessment
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)
