Studio or Location?
This is for models as well as photographers. Do you prefer to shoot on location (not necessarily outside), or in studio? I prefer to shoot on location. My favorite is studio lighting shot on location. The newness of a location seems to spark my creative interest. Feb 11 06 06:42 pm Link I prefer to shoot in the studio or on location. The operative word is shoot. I make my living with a camera because I enjoy it. I find both venues to present different challenges which is what makes this all interesting. Feb 11 06 06:52 pm Link I shoot studio when I "have to"... but prefer location anytime! Feb 11 06 06:54 pm Link Well...what temperature is it??? Just kidding but I like both. Outdoors is OK but when it get's under 40 degrees...a red runny nose just isn't attractive!LOL Feb 11 06 06:55 pm Link I like either or. Just really depends on the theme and attire of shoot.. ALso depends on the weather lol. but usually nice here in Texas Feb 11 06 06:56 pm Link Outdoors is OK but when it get's under 40 degrees...a red runny nose just isn't attractive!LOL It can be. The common humanity can be indearing. In fact, I recall seeing in a Barbour clothing catalog a girl hunkered down with a fishing pole in the grass by a river and wiping her nose on her sleeve--a just good, basic, unpretentious (highly pretentious) country clothing kind of moment.

There are some shots that are better in a studio because it's a controlled environment, sometimes it's "a designed location"... But most of the time I prefer shooting on location In fact I've been scouting some out that I would love to shoot at here in LA, so if anyone is reading this and is interested, send me an email Feb 11 06 08:24 pm Link JT Hodges wrote: Yes. Feb 12 06 12:36 am Link Well, due to a distinct lack of studio, I have to improvise on/and with my locations. I personally prefer to shoot on location as it gives the model and I more scope to ad-lib if needed, rather than being in the sterile environment I find most studios to be. Don't get me wrong, studio work is ok and definately has it's place, but I feel pretty limited with what I can do. Besides, once you've seen somebody fall through the backdrop and wreck £300 of equipment (not on any of my shoots, I hasten to add), it's [retty hard to take shots from laughing so hard...

Feb 12 06 09:14 am Link Location location location... those real estate guys got it figured out!!! there are many things that need a studio but I would everything on location if I could, indoors or out as long as its on location!!! ok going out to play in the snow, bikini clad model no less Feb 12 06 09:18 am Link I am more comfortable out on location. I just do not have enough experience in the studio to be completely comfortable. But I am learning to like the studio when I need to shoot there. bs Feb 12 06 11:31 am Link |
