Maternity session - in-studio or outdoors?
Maternity photo shoots are a precious and memorable experience for expectant mothers. This particular photoshoot captures the beauty of pregnancy and preserves it for a lifetime. The first thing you must consider for any maternity photo shoot is the location. Should you choose a studio or the great outdoors?
Here are some factors that can help you decide which option suits you best.
1. Comfortability: The first and foremost consideration should be your comfort. A studio setup usually provides a controlled and comfortable environment with regulated temperature, lighting, and privacy. Outdoors, on the other hand, can be unpredictable – it may be too hot or too cold, windy, or raining. Therefore, if you prefer to be on the safe side, then a studio would be a better option.
2. Aesthetics: If you’re looking for more pristine and clean-cut images, a studio setting will be a better match. With solid-colored backdrops, controlled lighting, and a modelling light setup, the images tend to be more polished and finished. In contrast, the open air setting of outdoors provides natural lighting possibilities and scenic backgrounds. For a more relaxed and organic feeling, opt for a photo session in nature.
3. Timing: Timing is something that is critically important for maternity photoshoots, especially during pregnancy. A studio session can start and finish at any time, as it’s not controlled by daylight. With an outdoor session, you’ll have to take into consideration the time of the day and the weather forecast. The best time of the day is during the Golden Hour, which is before dusk or after dawn when the light is soft and warm.
In conclusion, whether you decide to have a maternity photoshoot in a studio or outdoors, the most important aspect of any photoshoot is that it should be enjoyable, memorable, and comfortable. Ultimately, the decision depends on your preferences and requirements. If you prefer a warm and home-like environment, then a studio would be your best option. If you prefer natural, unscripted scenery, then shooting outdoors would be your way to go.
