Location Portraits
Some of the most endearing portraits are taken on
location. Images taken on location often benefit
from natural lighting conditions and familiar
surroundings. There is an additional degree of
freedom that comes from location photography and
this is often reflected in the mood of the portrait
images. If your surroundings make you feel relaxed
and comfortable, then your portraits will reflect this
feeling of warmth, contentment, joy and excitement.
Common locations for portraits include homes, back
yards, public parks, places of business, cars, or a host
of other places where people feel they can capture a
mood or be photographed in familiar or exotic
surroundings.
If images are to be taken outdoors, the best time to
take the portraits is shortly after sunrise (not a
favorite of many - but we don't mind at all) or shortly
before sunset. These are great times for
photographs because the sun takes on a soft
golden amber hue that provides striking light for
portraits. The difference between a portrait taken
outdoors at noon, and one taken near sunset is
dramatic. Colors are much richer, contrast is much
softer, and there is much more detail in images taken
at the beginning or end of the day.
