Location

Shooting in a studio may give you absolute control over what appears in front of the camera, but almost anywhere can become the setting for a successful fashion shoot. The images featured in this chapter, for example, cover a wide range of locations, indoors and out: from the luxurious surroundings of a five-star Parisian hotel and a mansion house, all the way through to less exotic backdrops such as a parking lot or the restroom of a bar. Yet as disparate as these settings are, they all have one fundamental thing in common and that is their ability to return fantastic photographs.

Although shooting on location provides you with a ready-made setting for your photographs, it requires a slightly different skill-set to studio-based photography if you want to get things right. We’ve already seen how lighting on location doesn’t necessarily just mean rolling up and plugging in your lights, and there are also many other issues to consider and problems to overcome. If you’re shooting outdoors, for example, there’s the weather to consider, which can help or hinder your lighting efforts, and if you suddenly realize you need a certain piece of kit that you left behind, you’ll have to think on your feet to come up with a solution. These are just two immediately obvious challenges you’ll face (a full list would be endless), but with a bit of pre-planning and, at times, a certain amount of luck, there’s no doubt that stunning location shots are totally within your reach, as we’ll see in this chapter.
