Mounting Consideration

For my Final Major Project initially I thought about having the two images separately, with possibly an inch apart but still next to each other. However, when thinking about my concept I realised that the two images compliment each other and they are so closely linked, that having them almost as one photograph would make more sense. I want the viewer to associate the subjects face with the landscape and understand how the two images entwine conceptually.
I have decided to print my images A1 on Permajet Oyster paper and mount them on to MDF wood, the reason I printed the images bigger was because I hoped with it being larger the audience would connect more with the theme of empowerment and strong emotions. I wanted the audience to feel over whelmed by the models expression and the dramatic landscapes, and I felt having the images bigger connected with this intention.  The reason I have chosen MDF wood is because I don't want the audience to be distracted by glass or frames, I just wanted the main focus point to be the images and the ideas behind them.
To mount them on to the MDF wood, first of all I had to sand down the edges and paint them white. The next step was using the hot press machine to glue the prints to the wood. The hot pressing machine has to be 90 degrees to go ahead. Once finished I put a glossy seal over the top to enhance the blacks of my image.
Overall, I was really pleased with the choice of using MDF wood as well as the size choice of my images I think it connected well with my original concept.

Health and Safety and Legal Constraints

Focusing on health and safety for my shoot is vital as I'll be shooting half of it in a studio so I'll need to make sure I brief my model on various things around the studio. For example not to touch the flash tube as it is highly dangerous and a health risk, I will make sure the studio is also as safe as possible by not leaving wires lying around which will increase the risk of injury.
Looking at legal constraints means focusing on aspects such as model release forms.
Currently I only plan on having my images displayed in an exhibition so I will not need a model release form, however, if I do end up selling my images to a stock photo website I will need a form because it may get later used for advertising, which could damage the model, potentially ending up in a lawsuit.

Not having the correct type of insurance could potentially lead to a lot problems for photographers, there are two different types of insurance, liability and indemnity. Liability covers you for any damage you may cause to any person or property whilst working, this can range from somebody tripping over a wire or destroying a building, so if you were to damage anything liability insurance will cover this.

Indemnity insurance will cover you if you fail to produce work of a satisfactory standard to the client, as well as it being on time etc. It defends your business and covers the claims made against you (court fees etc) as well as covering damages that may become payable.
