Secrets to Success on Location - part 2 of 1 2 3 4

by Craig Minielly Published 01/08/2012

Striking the right balance is as much a formula of your own skills and inspirations as it is the desires of your client combined with the environmental considerations and limitations.

What may be considered complex for one subject can often be considered simple for another. As an easy example, you probably wouldn't plan a complex four-light set-up for a pair of six-year-old twins, but the same set would be perfect for a time-limited executive-on-acover shoot.

Pre-planning will involve asking yourself some questions, which will generally follow the question session involving your subject or client. What type of images are desired, what locations are being considered, are there time of day elements or access issues, and are you striving for single image or multiple options...? Children need room to move and be spontaneous, whereas adults may have comfort levels on getting dirty or dealing with stairs and long walks.
