2. Shoot on Location

Some locations are set in the studio using specialized backgrounds or elaborate set design. Rather than building sets or sticking with plain backgrounds, I often prefer to venture outside the studio to find an interesting location. Adding compelling locations to your portrait and wedding shoots is a great (and relatively easy) way to add interest to your photography. In fashion photography, shooting outside the studio is referred to as shooting on location, and it’s used for a specific purpose. Sometimes locations help to further a story, sometimes they match a particular theme, sometimes they are bizarre, and sometimes they simply complement the clothing on the model.
