I'm not one of those photographers that just shows up on location to a portrait shoot and wings it. Some of my colleagues/friends enjoy doing that (and do it quite well)...not me. I'd be a bloody mess if I did that. As I'm jotting down ideas in my creativity journal, the locations* often play a big role in how the shoot goes down. So today I wanted to take you guys with me as I trounced around London for this weekend's shoot.
*Even though you might not use the scouted locations as initially envisioned, it's important to have a plan; however, I always allow for improvisation within the plan, moments of on the spot creativity.
