Ten of the best photoshoot locations for portraits, editorial, engagements & lifestyle shoots. Wondering where to take clients for photoshoots or looking for better photoshoot locations? These 10 easy photoshoot spots are my go-to’s for a quick shoot. Whether you’re in a small town or a big city you should have all ten of these photoshoot locations near you!
There are a few keys to keep in mind when selecting a photoshoot location. 1) Look for locations without too many distractions – You want every element in your photo to work cohesively – So try to limit distracting elements that don’t gel with the whole. Big blank walls or monochrome settings are great locations because they don’t distract from the subject of your photo, especially as a portrait photo location idea. 2) When searching for a photoshoot location, look for great light. Great light is more important than a cool background, especially for portraits or photos of people. Planning your shoot for a time with the best light will make ANY location far better! 3) Get to know your lens. Viewing the world the way it will look through your lens is a skill to practice. To your eyes, everything is in focus… What might be an ugly / distracting background to your eyes might make for incredible bokeh with a 50mm at f1.8 – Learn to know how your camera can make the best out of each location, and every location you photograph at will be miles better!
Whether you’re a portrait photographer or a fashion photographer, finding good and creative photoshoot locations is a big job. Especially when the location determines so much of the vibe of your portraits. The truth is that no matter where you live, there are probably LOTS of photoshoot location ideas you’ve never considered. Possibly because they’re so obvious they’re right in front of your face! That’s why we made this video breaking down 10 easy photoshoot location ideas – Hopefully they jog your memory and get you looking creatively at locations near you.
