Here is another example of why I love to shooting out doors instead of in a studio, I find that your limited to what you can do in a studio. I find that when you confine yourself in a box you think like a box, you limit yourself with the props, backdrops! In terms of what resources you have to use in the studio.
I notice that when I shoot outside I tend to get more creative with my images cause I can constantly change my background & props!
I have different props all around that I can use! The only bad thing is that you are pretty much stuck with the lighting!
Whereas in a studio you have total control over your light so if its the lighting your after plain for a studio shoot.
So I would say this! that when you are thinking of have a portrait taken, ask for it to be taken in a local park or a beach. These images where taken in Alamo Square, San Francisco. The quality & feel of the over all image is a lot better!
The images below were all taken at Alamo Square, San Francisco and I was able to change my back ground just by moving around.
