Location portraiture

High key photography

I seem to be spending more and more of my time out there practicing location photography. If I am not working, I am using my boys to practice with. The world provides endless backgrounds to add emotion and interest to photographs. Steel sheeting, old rough painted doors, fences and block walls are some of my most used backgrounds. On there own, they sound rather dull, but used properly, softened and balanced they provide very interesting backdrops for portrait photography.

There are so many things to consider when looking for that portrait to show emotion, freshness and fun. This was shot on a piece of play equipment in Porthleven, Cornwall.

The orange structure works beautifully to tie the subject into the photograph. A blast of strobe from camera left and a few tweaks later… voila!

This crop is one of favorites at the moment. You can see others here – Beach portrait & black and white portrait . The subject takes up a third to a half of the frame and it works so well in my opinion. I am really pleased with the result of this life style portrait.

A shoot like this is a very affordable solution to increase your collection of loved ones. I am able to offer packages to suite your requirements on locations in Cornwall. The beaches, woods, rivers and towns all provide some great opportunities. Marazion, Porthleven, Helston, Penzance and Falmouth have been used by me regularly to capture life style photographs.
