downtown with an umbrella


Does location matter when it comes to a photography session? What is it regarding location that makes for a good or bad backdrop? Is the place special to the client? Does it look cool (as perceived by the client). Can a good photographer make do with any location an get something the client will be pleased with. I personally find the subject way more important than where we are going. Give me a junk yard, give me a street, let’s play and see what we get. More important than location, I am wondering about the light. Does the location have good light? Is it really dark? Is there natural light which comes into the venue? Don’t make the mistake of checking the light at the time and season of the actual shoot. This image is of a cutie I had the privilege to photograph today. Can you tell where we were? Does it matter?
