Risk Assessment

Hazard	Risk	Controlling risk	Recording your findings
Sunlight	The photographer and the model, This could create headaches if the photographer and model are out for too long.	Making sure to not spend too long outside to prevent things such as headaches	Only spending a small amount of time outside to prevent things such as headaches.
Artificial light	Anybody in the area that could see the light,  could cause headaches or blurred vision.	Making sure the model does not look directly into the lights and making sure the lights are not on too strong. Make sure that there is the minimal amount of people in the area around the light.	Making sure the light was turned off as soon as the photo's were taken to decrease the risk of people looking directly into the light by an accident.
Being outside	For one photo we took it by a tree which was next to a car park, the obvious risk is if a car were to pull out and not see the people or equipment.	Warning signs around the area that was being used.	Cars knew to wait until area was safe when the warning signs were removed to let cars through
Trip risks	Models could fall, specifically when jumping.	Making sure the shot was taken minimal times.	Making sure the ground was stable underneath so they would land on flat ground.
Walking to the scene (outside)	Walking to the scene	Take care when crossing roads whist walking to the location.	Check the roads multiple times before crossing and it ensured safe crossings. Using the public footpaths gave safe access to the locations with no problems.
Taking a photo on a table to get the correct lighting	Table may be unstable, models may fall when getting on or off the table	Make sure the models have help up on the table. Make sure the table is steady.	Models had help and had something to lean on when they were on the table (the wall)
