Interesting Locations (Part 2)

Updated: Oct 5, 2021

My list of interesting locations where I’ve had client photoshoots continues!  Click here to see Part 1.


[Some of these images have my old logo as the watermark.  Sorry for the inconsistent branding in these 2 “Interesting Location” posts.  I don’t have the time to redo all of them with my new logo and thought you wouldn’t mind too much.  Thanks, guys!]


Train Station

Train stations are great photography locations when you are with kids who love them.  You can watch the trains go by….

…or walk on the tracks.  (Just listen out and be careful, if it’s an active track.)

Tunnel

Tunnels have great light.  You can shoot people inside for a silhouette or just outside the tunnel to light them up.

Garage

If that’s where your little one wants to hang out, then that’s where I’m gonna shoot!  🙂

School

Architects put a lot of thought into the design of school buildings and campuses, which make schools a great place to have a shoot!


It could be a small school…

*PHOTOGRAPHY TIP*

Next time you are deciding on a shoot location, you may want to think beyond the typical ones.


Let me be clear.  There is NOTHING WRONG with shooting in a place that is considered “common”.  I love shooting in parks, gardens and client homes!  My point is, don’t be afraid to mix it up once in awhile.  Step out of the norm.  Be adventurous. 


You may find that you love it.  I know I do!
