I understand that during my photography course with Taking Pictures
may visit a variety of outdoor and indoor locations. I understand
that during the full duration of course, and when I am visiting, or
travelling to or from these locations, I do so entirely at my own
personal risk and take full responsibility for my actions.
I also understand that Taking Pictures will not be liable for any
damage or loss of personal possessions or photographic equipment
incurred at any time during my photography course. As such, it is my
responsibility to ensure I have adequate insurance cover,
specifically including single items of high value, such as camera’s
and lenses.
I also understand that it is my responsibility to inform Taking
Pictures of any relevant medical conditions affecting me, prior to
attending my photography course, especially given that I understand
that my photography course will involve some periods of time in a
variety of relatively remote outdoor locations sometimes distant
from any immediate form of transport.
