  In this report I will be identifying and explaining the laws and ethics around photography. I will cover in this report photography in public, in and around private land and also the ethics that go along with photography.  The first law I need to consider is that it is illegal to take pictures of children under the age of sixteen without their parents' permission, this can be interpreted in multiple ways such as asking one of your siblings to take part in a photo shoot or even taking explicit photos without them knowing. A way that you can avoid doing this is by having the parent/guardian singing a model release form or by simply not taking explicit photos of someone under the age of sixteen.  Another law is that you need to permission from the land owner to take photos on private property, good examples of this could be that you want to take photos of a business and inside the business or that you want to take a picture of a field but it is owned by someone else.

Although the picture is of a bird feeder in the style of a heart you can hardly tell that it is a heart, so next time I will be moving into a position where I can capture the heart shape. Another point I want to make is that the bird feeder is a unnatural
