My new photo studio
The benefit of a photo studio
I just opened a photo studio. I generally have not had much reason to have a studio, but the opportunity recently presented itself and I took advantage of it.
How important is a photo studio these days? To be honest I don’t believe it’s really that important, but it does come in handy for certain occasions.
Most of the photography I do is at a wedding or at a park or other outdoor setting for portraits. There are occasions, however, when an outdoor setting is not appropriate. In the winter it’s difficult to find a place that will work for a photo shoot.
Business headshots typically are the most common reason for a photo shoot, and I do quite a few business headshots. It’s important to have an indoor setting with the proper backdrop and proper lighting. This new studio will work great for that.
Beyond headshots, personal branding is becoming a popular type of photography. Sometimes a simple headshot just won’t do. A more personal photo is needed sometimes – photos that better show the personality of a business professional.
Years ago an indoor studio was the most common way of taking photos. More people are interested in outdoor settings these days, I believe. However, I have had calls from families that want indoor family photography. I have had to turn jobs down because I didn’t have a studio for these. Now I do, and I’m excited.
The studio is located at Gateway Mall in the back room of another retail establishment. It’s not huge but has enough space to meet my needs. Here are the types of photography I will offer in this studio:
- Business Headshots
- Business Branding
- Family portraits
- Personal portraits
- Mini boudoir shoots
There have been some mall photographers, but I don’t believe they are around anymore. Now there is one more. Pass on the word about my new photo studio.
