What is the brief?
The brief we were given was to deliver five photos we have taken for an exhibition at the Millennium gallery, each revolving around the theme of 'identity'. These photos will be picked out and edited from numerous pictures we have taken over the course of the project.
Who is the audience?
The audience will mainly be the local people of Sheffield visiting the millennium gallery, although some may have travelled from further away or have varying knowledge of the arts. I want my photographs to target a variety of different people and different sub-cultures because of the themes of representation shown in the images.

Key dates for milestone deadlines
The entirety of the project must be completed by the 30th of April- paperwork and photographs. I will base my self-set deadlines from this, hopefully having done location recces and risk assessments as well as getting models by the 20th of March so I can begin taking my photographs. By the 10th of April I wish to have all of the paperwork for my project done so I can begin to focus on editing the images I have and refining them and getting feedback on my previous work for the deadline.

Equipment
The equipment I will be using is a 650 DSLR camera on a DF-61 tripod. No lights will be necessary as I will be using natural light to illuminate the modelling scene.
Props and models
I will be needing models to photograph for my photoshoot of whom will be friends or family that have volunteered to represent a sub-culture. For them to be believable this will require suitable costumes and makeup, hopefully a lot of the clothes will be available to borrow off of family- if not it will be easy to buy the clothes cheaply in stores such as Primark. Makeup will also be important for my models, I may do the makeup for a lot of people using my own products as I am fairly confident in my skills and I will have a vision of what that sub-culture should look like. Here is a list of models and the props/makeup they will need:
Bradley Webster - (Stereotypical Goth) Black skinny jeans, dark shoes, black t-shirt (possible band reference), accessories (chain necklaces, rings), has agreed to temporary black hair dye and eyeliner.
Alex Campbell - (Stereotypical 'Chav') Tracksuit bottoms, adidas top, scruffy trainers, possible gold chain around neck and for makeup he will only need to have messy hair.
Kayla Baugh - (Stereotypical Hipster) Fake hipster-styled glasses, denim bottoms, beanie, doc martens and patterned shirt.

Health and safety considerations
I have referred to any dangers in my risk assessment, and there is nothing dire that I need to consider. Some of the examples from my risk assessment are: bad weather, tripping over equipment or dropping equipment on my feet. All these should only result in minor injury or damage to the equipment instead of the model/photographer.

Legal and ethical considerations
One of the most important aspects of taking my photographs will be ensuring what I am photographing is legal, and also that I am photographing in public places so any strangers pictured in the background are not being ethically affected. I will also need all of my models to sign model release forms before the shoot to say that I am permitted to use the photos of them. It is important when I am photographing in a place like town to try not getting business logos in the background as legally there are numerous stores I would not be permitted without explicit consent to have in my images. This can be solved by blurring the background of my images if necessary.
