To identify how I need to organise my project and troubleshoot potential issues

The reason I am writing up all the things needed for the photo-shoot is that anything that goes wrong, could be solved quickly and that when we are doing the photo-shoot, if anything were to go wrong, the day wouldn't be wasted and wouldn't have to rearrange the photo-shoot for everybody.

  • Camera
  • Batteries
  • Tripod
  • Ladder
  • Lights/Lighting

  • Camera could get dropped and break
