I Take Beautiful Portraits In ‘Ugly’ Locations To Prove That Bad Location Is Just An Excuse

Have you been looking for that perfect location to take your client’s breath away? How many of you do one (or more) of these:

1. Endlessly drive around looking for the perfect location

2. Use the same location over and over and feel like you are running out of creativity

3. Don’t think you have “the perfect location” near you

4. Look at a location and say, “I can’t produce a beautiful image I/my clients will love here!”

Here is what I have to say about that – STOP MAKING EXCUSES!

Would your clients think you were crazy if you said, “I would love to shoot your portraits, meet me at the office park, old parking lot, or strip mall and we will create beautiful images to decorate your home!”

PROVE THEM WRONG!

My daughter and I set out one night to find the most unsuspecting places to create just that. We stayed within a mile of our home, stopped at random places, jumped out of the car, posed, shot, took a cell phone picture of the location, jumped back in the car and did it again. We stopped at 9 places in one hour.
