| Not many photographers do both well, but that choice is what you both want and need. Many photographers don’t want to bother with location shooting since it can involve problems with the wind, hair issues, and even squinting, yet the benefit is often greater translucent light with creamy and interesting backgrounds.
Conversely, many photographers don’t know how to master light in studio. Yet when done well, studio shots give you crisp, sharp eyes and compelling expressions with beautiful white, gray, and black backdrops. An artistic photographer can also manipulate many types of studio lighting, from soft and flat to bright and striking, and some with moody, dramatic shadows and textures. Regardless, the key is maintaining options, and that is why you want someone who can do it all well. |
