Choosing the right location.
When doing any kind of photo shoot, the foreground (usually the individual(s) being photographed) needs to be in harmony with the background (the location of the shoot, either outside or in a studio). For sessions that are being held outside, it is very important to choose the right location. A good location sets the mood, and amplifies it while providing a beautiful backdrop for the photographs. First of all, the location for your photo shoot needs to be meaningful to you. The background of your photos should be something that relates to your personality, your hobby/work, your personal back story; anything that makes you you. Secondly, a location should never be overpowering or distracting of what's going on in the foreground of the picture. You don't want anyone to look over your shoulder to see that amazing location behind you, like a holiday snapshot. Last, but not least, choose a location that you love. If you have multiple locations on your short list, choose the one that you esthetically love the most. It is going to be in your pictures after all, and play an important part, so you better like what you see! A good location is in harmony with all the three factors mentioned above. The perfect location to choose from is one that you love, that is meaningful to you, and let's you be the center of attention.
