Locations For Photo Shoot

St John's College

As I said before College was shut on Friday, while we were in town handing out our advertising leaflets we decided to have a look for some locations for the photo shoots. Our first thoughts were the colleges/universities, the grounds are beautiful and would be the perfect locations. Our first stop was St Johns College, you usually have to pay a fee to go on the college's grounds and have a tour but because we were inquiring about permission to use the grounds for a photo shoot we were allowed in without paying the fee. We spoke to a women called Angela McKenzie who is the Domestic Bursar's Secretary and Telephone Liaison Officer at St John's College, Angela said that its highly unlikely that we would get permission as the subject of the magazine didn't have a connection to the college. Angela told us she would ask for us and get back in contact, true to her word we got an email a few days later, unfortunately we didn't get permission to use the college's grounds like Angela said. Just before we left Angela told us there's a nice bit of land which didn't belong to the college and that a lot of people use that spot for photos.

Random

While we were trying to find a way out of all the college grounds we come across a slopped surface where you take the punts down into the water. It's a quite place that really captures the beauty of Cambridge. If we were to use this as a location we wouldn't need permission, but it would need a little tidy up.

The Fitz William Museum

The next location we thought of was The Fitz William Museum. Leanne and I had been to the museum before on a trip in our first year of college. We went into the reception and spoke to a woman, she said that it's likely that we will be able too, she phoned someone to check and after 5-10 minutes we were told we had permission, we were only aloud to use the outside grounds, with that we had a look around the ground and picked a few spots we thought would look effective. 

 

Mill Pond

The last location we looked at was mill pond, we wouldn't have to ask for permission to use this area. Mill Pond is beautiful in summer, it's a large bit of land and there are many places within the area which I think would make the photo's look amazing. We only had a little look at Mill Pond and didn't walk all the way round, I'm sure we will to find the perfect locations.
