Lighting Issues…

BOA Studio

Professional Lighting

I won’t have experience in using it meaning I may need help/ I could go to be shown how to use it before shoot

It is very heavy meaning that if it fell on anyone it would hurt plus those moving it could damage themselves

Grosvenor Street

Natural Lighting

Have to rely on weather meaning I will have to keep checking the weather for the days set for shooting

I will have to work around when the sun is out

I will have to use a lot of photo shopping to create a high quality effect in the pictures
