50 more awesome (vintage) outfit photo shoot locations
Recently Jessica of Chronically Vintage compiled a list of 52 awesome (vintage) outfit photo shoot locations. I'm constantly trying to think of new and different locations for my photos, and I was feeling very inspired by Jessica's list so I contacted her via Twitter to ask if it would be okay if I wrote my own. Since she was happy for me to do so, here is my list of 50 more awesome (vintage) outfit photo shoot locations.
1. In the sea (in an appropriate outfit, of course!)
2. In the woods
3. In a public park

Like Jessica, I've tried to bear in mind a variety of different living situations so that hopefully there's something on the list which would be accessible to you no matter whether you're in the city or countryside, or somewhere in between. I've decided to make this year the time to really work on my photography, and one of the things I'll be trying to improve is my selection of locations. No more back garden photos, I've done it to death! I'll definitely be referring to this list and Jessica's for ideas in the coming months.
There are several locations on this list that I haven't had the chance to use yet, so that gives me something to work towards. Thanks to Jessica for the original idea!

These are fantastic ideas and I was rather surprised to find out how many locations I have already "utilized". I am dreaming of a visit to butterfly house, it would be awesome to take photos with all the pretty butterflies.
ReplyDeleteSometimes living in a big-ish city makes taking photos abit boring. Where we live there is not that much photogenic locations to take photos. So mostly it's just the hallway of our apartment building or in our own home. (And no, our kitchen is not doable :D although I have done that too )
Great list, and great accompanying photos! I really love the 20s style photo (seriously, you look straight out of Downton Abbey) and your Teddy girl look by the phone booth.

This list is sooo fantastic!!! I love how many practical, easy to come by spots you included. I rarely think about shooting indoors, as we have almost no natural light and very small rooms in our little condo, but that is certainly not the case for everyone out there by any means and it's so great that you listed some indoor spots like the kitchen at home, and then others like cafes and restaurants that any of us can avail of.
ReplyDeleteI will be adding many of these to my "to shot at" list for 2015 and beyond. Thank you so much for contributing scores more fabulous ideas to this rapidly growing list for all of us to avail of and for the wonderfully kind mention here. You rock, sweet gal!!!

No problem at all, thank you for posting the original list and allowing me to contribute some of my own ideas! x
DeleteThis list and Jessica's has given me some great ideas!
