I often ask people on Facebook and Twitter for suggestions on where to shoot. Also, I ask my clients to ask their friends and family for ideas. I have several places near the studio in my town where I shoot regularly. I know these places well, and they reliably produce good images. I know the light, I know what compositions work, and I know they are always great backups.
With each client, however, I try to produce new imagery. If a client can come up with a new and exciting location, I am ready to shoot there. Again, I look for locations that allow the client to interact or have strong compositional elements. Clients often come up with ideas for locations or suggestions of how these locations might fit into the shoot.
