No, for a few reasons, I do not.....maybe someday.
I live in San Diego where on any given day it is 72 & partly cloudy. In fact, I believe to be a weather person here, you must graduate at the bottom of your class, no offense intended.
I have a variety of locations from which to chose. The beach, Balboa Park, down town or just some alley will work. The first thing I look at is the light. If I have the lighting I desire, I can get a shot almost anywhere. If I do not like the background I have, I can use a lens with a wide aperture (click on this link for a quick lesson). This will create a shallow dept of field, leaving me with a blurry, creamy background that I just love.

Lastly, I just don't need much space to get "the shot". A perfect example is my friend turned client Jennifer Caltabellotta. Her kids are school age so she decided to begin working with her husband, Joe, in real estate. She needed a head shot. I went to her home & this is what we got.
Jennifer has pets. This is what was going on around us.

ReplyDeleteAmazing Mr Mink doesn't go for the the birds!
Beautiful head shot.
give us your best one, Kelly! When I'm at Jen's, I have had chats w/ Mr. Mink. I have tried to tell him, "chicken tastes good!".
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteYour work is so amazing! You never cease to amaze me at the most beautiful shots you can get from the most unexpected places. I was just sitting in an ordinary spot in our backyard but since you had the perfect lighting the shot looks perfect. You can make pictures by a dumpster look gorgeous! BTW Honey, our chicken, looks stunning!
