How to find the best photography location

So how do you choose a good location for your photography session? In this blog, we will talk about some of the best ways which will help you in finding the best suitable option for your photography location.



Choose a place with meaning

First of all, whenever you are deciding on a photoshoot location you should try to choose something based on your convenience. For example, if you live near a beautiful park or beach, you can always choose that location first.

Remember that every individual and subject is unique so the location also has to be unique which matches the personality of the subject or the occasion. This is what makes every portrait different from the other. Take time to get to know about your muse, the occasion, the things they love doing, the places they like, their personalities, etc.


Lighting

When it comes to lighting, always go for the place which has natural lighting. Most professional photographers would go for natural lighting as their first option.


When shooting outside in the open, look for a place where there are no harsh lines. Look for a place with a shadow or softer lighting. Try to shoot when the sun is not too strong.


Whether the Weather

You have no idea whether the weather is gonna be nice or not. Set up your belongings somewhere near a shelter. If you are shooting in the monsoon season, you never know when it's gonna rain therefore look for a location where you could find a bridge, a shadow, or a cafe.


If the weather prevails to be dark then you may need to shoot undercover. Prepare yourself for that. Arrange the lights and reflectors accordingly.
