Locations and backgrounds
Backgrounds when indoors, will be white or anything plain or simple which isn't confusing or too much. The background will relate in some way to the magazine. 
If a problem occurs, a colour or background can be photo shopped into the image, or the image transferred onto some other background. 
Backgrounds if outdoors, will be in a location which will be clear with not too many elements. It will have to be interesting and in relation to my magazine. If a problem occurs, different images will be taken or the current photos with poor backgrounds will have to be edited. 
Location will be in a house with a simple room or in college, and when outdoors, will be in a garden, or in a quiet location with simple backgrounds to be used e.g. a brick wall. 
Problems with this could be that travel/transport to these locations could be unavailable, or some places may not be able to be accessed. To overcome these issues, a location which is close, convenient and available for definite should be chosen.

Props and costume
Props and costumes, if/when used will be used to make the images look better and more interesting. Props used would be something like a musical instrument i.e. a guitar. This is because it is a music magazine so it will relate to the genre. 
Costume will be clothes in relation to the artist and genre of the magazine, and if the background is plain, costume will be interesting and colourful. 
If props are unavailable, none will be used or other available ones will be used instead. 

Lighting of images
When indoors, there needs to be good bright light which makes it clear and able to see what/who is being photographed. If the image comes out too dark, Photoshop will be used for effects and brightness. 
When outdoors, photos will have to be taken in good weather conditions and during the day so photos are bright and clear.
When taking photos, several will be took just in case, so I have extra - means I will have more choice so I can get the best quality photo possible. 
To add interesting features and a mix of photos, some may be taken in a certain light i.e. when indoors, low key lighting, or when outdoors it could be when the sun is setting, to make the images more effective.
To avoid problems, multiple images will be taken in different situations and places. 

Health and safety
Electrical equipment will be kept out of the way and will be tidy as people could trip and injure themselves. When outdoors, equipment and floor conditions will have to be closely watched - if wet, a person could slip and fall, or if electrical equipment gets wet it could get damaged and break, or electric shocks could occur. Loose wires and objects will be double checked and moved out of the way to avoid tripping and falling.

Weather
If taking photos outdoors it will have to be sunny and bright. Or if a certain effect/technique is being used photos might be taken in rain/snow.
Rain or snow could be a problem as it could damage equipment and ruin the appearance of the person in the photo. Could also cause hazard when walking. 
Dark/light could also create problems. Too dark could create visual problems (for example blurry images or not being able to make out the photos). If too bright, it may make the image unclear and unable to see what the image is of. 
Whether could also cause travel problems to locations if a location in necessary.
