Before you can make your first booking on ORB (or if you have not
used your account with us for a while) please read this information before
taking a short test on our terms and conditions of using the service. In order
to use the Photography Studios you will need to complete this training with a 100% pass rate.
The Photography Departments Studio and Darkroom opening times
are:
10.00am - 1.00pm and 2:00pm - 5.00pm each
weekday except Monday when we close darkroom printing.
When booking a studio please take note of the following
terms and conditions.
·
You must bring your UAL Student Card with you.
Please note you will not be able to access the studio without
it. If you are using a temporary pass you must bring this with you.
·
The studios are for CSM students only.
Please note if you are booking a shoot where someone else
will be photographing they must be a CSM student. We cannot support students
from other universities including other UAL sites. If you are found to have
brought in an external photographer then your shoot will be terminated and you
may face disciplinary action. We have a list of CSM photographers in the
department if you would prefer not to shoot it yourself.
·
The main purpose is for Still image.
Please note we are not equipped for moving image as our
lighting is flash only and we have no sound insulation. Small clips of moving
image within a hybrid shoot situation is acceptable but if you are looking to
only produce moving image then please visit Film and Video who will be able to
support you.
·
Any cancellations must be done before the slot
has begun.
Please note that repeat instances of late cancellations may
result in restriction of your access to the facilities.
·
You will lose the booking if you are more than
30 minutes late.
Please note that studio time is in high demand. Repeat
instances of no shows may result in restriction of your access to the
facilities.
·
You will need to leave and have reset the
studios by the end of your booking slot.
Please note this will most likely take you up to 20 minutes
depending on the kind of shoot you are doing. You will also need to have
downloaded all your images onto your hard-drive if you are shooting tethered. If
you run over your booking slot you will be flagged automatically by ORB as you
are required to check out with your card. Repeat lateness may result with
restriction of your access to the facilities.
·
You will need to report any damaged or broken
equipment to a staff member.
Please note that you need to report any damage to any
equipment no matter how minor. If you are found to have damaged equipment due
to disregard to the terms and conditions then your access to the facilities may
be restricted.
·
You are not permitted to bring in any liquids
unless you have filled in a risk assessment prior.
Please note that liquid usage must be kept to a minimum due
to the equipment within the studios. Any risky activity that is deemed unsafe
may cause your booking to be revoked and may result in restriction of your
access to the facilities. If you have any particular requests with liquids
please speak to a technician beforehand.
·
Any electrical equipment must be PAT tested
before it is used in the studios.
Please note that any untested electrical equipment will not
be usable in the studio. If you are found to be using any untested items your
booking may be revoked and may result in the restriction of your access to the
facilities.
·
You will need to bring your own SD
Card/Hard-drive.
