What could go wrong during production?
How are you going to avoid this issue? 
What’s your back up plan?

Models don’t turn up I will ring my models the day before my photo shoot to remind them when the photo shoot is and to also make sure they know when it is. I will make sure I choose reliable people as my models so they don’t let me down.

Camera’s not available I will make sure that i book a camera in advance to my photo shoot so that I’m not left without a camera on the day I need it.

Blurry photographs I will make sure my camera is in focus before starting my photo shoot by doing a tester photograph beforehand on my model. I will also stop half way through my photo shoot to check my photographs are in focus.

Props disappearing I will make sure if I need props that they will be kept in a safe place, and I will also make sure I have them the day before the photo shoot so if I need to replace them I have one extra day to do this.

Models not turning up in correct costume I will ring my models the day before my photo shoot to remind them what I need them to wear for my shoots. I will also bring in spare clothes for them to wear as a backup.

Computers crashing after spending a long time on work I will make sure that when putting my photographs onto a computer and editing them I regularly save my work so I don’t lose all of it if the computer crashes.

Camera running out of charge I will make sure that my camera is fully charged by checking it before I go into my shoot. I will also make sure I charge the battery the night before is necessary.

Not enough time to do photo shoot I will make sure that before I have my photo shoot I have a photo shoot plan so I know exactly what I need to do without messing around and wasting time. I will also show my models what poses I would like them to do so they also know what they are doing.

Turning up to shoots without a tripod I will make sure that I book a tripod in advance to my photo shoot to ensure that I will have a tripod on the day that I need it. I will also check that my tripod is still booked for my photo shoot the day before I need it.

Running out of network space Before I need to put my photographs onto my computer I will make sure the day before that I clear my network space of work that isn’t needed in order to make more room for my Dps work.
