 Explain legal and Ethical Considerations for the Photographic Shoot In this report I will be discussing the legal and ethical issues that I must consider when taking my photos for this 'Beautiful Doncaster' brief. The legal issues surrounding my shoot are the laws which affect the shoot as I will need to abide by them to avoid facing a lawsuit. There are also ethical issues that I must abide by in order to not hurt or offend anyone with the photoshoot or the photos themselves. During my photo shoot I will need to consider the legal issue of privacy. I will need to ensure that I Do not take any pictures on private property without the land owners permission.

The purpose of my shoot: The purpose of my shoot is to  to take photographs in and around Doncaster that show the area in a positive light. I will be doing this to fulfil the client requirements listed in the brief I was given. The theme of the commission is 'Beautiful Doncaster'. the commission can include portraits, Landscapes, urban/rural shots to showcase the local area. My shoot will be based mainly around landscape photography.

I took this one from a plane on my way to Lanzarote. It was taken over the North Atlantic Ocean. I took this photo because the way the clouds split and show the ocean reminded me of a river with the riverbank covered in show. the different colours and textures add to this image and give it a rocky kind of look. Also in the top right corner the clouds look a bit like some kind of waterfall which adds to the river effect.  I took this photo in Lanzarote. It is composed using framing and horizon line. The framing is a statue through which you can see the beach. I took this photo in Lanzarote. It is of the mountains near the hotel I stayed at. It was shot using deep depth of field since it is all in focus. I took this photo from the hotel I was staying at of the street next to it. this photo uses ...
