Picture This

When thinking about portrait photography, a studio, background and a plethora of lights might be what springs to mind. My dealings with this creative area of the profession, however, tend to be very different with very little planning possible.

My studio is the location I'm sent to. Unless it's somewhere I've been before, I have to think fast as to where I'm going to position my subject(s). The biggest factors I have to consider in these situations is the availability of light, both natural and artificial, and what might look aesthetically pleasing as a background. This is before I've even thought about how I'm going to position the individual(s).

It can be a difficult task at times if the aforementioned criteria of lighting and background don't lend themselves to attractive imagery. But the challenge and the satisfaction of producing a good photo make it worthwhile.
