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: Should the images I want not being available at Nunnington Hall I will
go to a York College football training session. This is to document the behaviour and
movement of people.
This will take place the following week from the trip at Eleven o’clock. A camera and
tripod have been booked again for the Monday of that week to prepare should the
Photographs taken at Nunnington Hall not up to a standard.
The location will be at York college and their sports field. A risk assessment has been
taken into consideration for the photography also.
