The perfect location for your photoshoot DECIDING ON THE IDEAL PLACE FOR A PHOTOSHOOT IS CRUCIAL WORDS BY LEVITHA BIJI

P

hotoshoots – whether for your company website, your family calendar or your dating profile – can take place anywhere. Location is priority if the idea of publicly posing for photos doesn't appeal to you. Opting for the professional studio could be a better option in this case, with the key benefits of privacy. On the other hand, location-based shoots can appear more natural. Let’s go through the benefits of each.

In-Studio

Photos produced in a professional photoshoot will be fit for almost any purpose. The primary advantage of working in a studio is that you have full oversight over your pictures. You can change the lighting arrangements, props, backgrounds, fix hued lighting gels set up, and more. Every 94 | NICHE

aspect of photography can be taken care of in a studio.

On Location

The great British weather can be challenging to the photographer who works outside. A windy, cloudy, or even too-sunny day can disadvantage your shoot. Another tricky aspect is people! They may get in the way of your perfect shot and some locations may require a permit or special permission for shoots, which could increase the cost. Choosing a north-facing, shaded location, you can get good pictures on even the sunniest summer’s day. Similarly, cloudy skies can be a picturetaker's dearest companion, as they act as a giant diffuser, giving the light an even, delicate quality and dispensing shadows. Natural light is at its gentlest and most complimenting in the early morning, late evening, or late afternoon.

A WINDY, CLOUDY, OR EVEN TOOSUNNY DAY CAN DISADVANTAGE YOUR SHOOT. ANOTHER TRICKY ASPECT IS PEOPLE!

Hitz’s tips!

Matching the theme to the purpose is the key. To figure out the perfect location for your photoshoot, let the photographer know what your desired outcome of the photoshoot is. They’ll then be able to advise you on the perfect location.
