Contingency plan

Problem	How will you avoid or solve this problem?
Model not turning up	Inform the model of the time and place of photo shoot. Also have back up models if one doesn’t show.
Loosing photos/article	Have back up of all the photos, articles etc on USB’s, other systems, in an E-mail etc.
Equipment not working	Have back up cameras, lighting, backdrops etc so that a replacement can always be at hand if needed.
Not enough time to take pictures	Have a back up shoot if time runs out. Also keep track of and have a schedule of what is taking place and when you want to do them.
Creating work at home and then not being able to access it at college because of different software or other software compatibilities	Save the image in a different format or use a compatible version of photoshop that will still work.
Photographs coming back out of focus after a difficult photo shoot has just been executed	Booking emergency photo shoot, checking before hand all the cameras aren’t out of focus
Props disappearing	Having back up of the same prop or similar.
Cameras running out of batteries	Having extra batteries chargers, making sure the camera is charged before the shoot
Running out of network space	Deleting any unnecessary files that are not needed, checking that the photos, articles etc won’t fill the network space
Shoots booked but cameras not available or booked	Book camera/ shoot in good time, find an alternative space and equipment to shoot with
Models not turning up in costume	Have the costume there at time of the photo shoot or have spare/alternative costume
Personnel not turning up because of examination commitments	Have back up personnel to do the shoot, find an alternative way of getting the same results without the personnel
