Think Outside the Box:
Consider spots you have access to and could request permission to photograph, such as:
Your co-working space.
Your school (with a permit).
Your gym (with permission).
Locations tied to your hobbies (after asking for consent).
Other considerations:
Consider the person's interests for portraits. Love horses or art? Consult the photographer for creative ideas.
Select a flexible photographer who can offer concepts tailored to your preferences and schedule.
Remember lighting – early morning or late afternoon is ideal. But don't overlook direct sunlight; it brings a unique touch, especially when working with an experienced photographer.
Infuse your personality into the latter part of the session with props that compliment your lifestyle.
Lastly, ensure your photographer is open to weather adjustments or has supplemental lighting for sunlit portraits. Flexibility matters!
