I’m pleased that women are increasingly willing to let themselves be photographed and opt for photo shoots. They are more open, more aware. They know that image has a lot of power in today’s world. They want to present themselves well on social media, on their company website. In addition to the most popular wedding and family sessions, they opt for individual ones. A women’s portrait session is the ideal opportunity for them to feel good about themselves, to stop time passing or to create a professional image for the Internet with their photos.
Birthdays, milestones or the start of a new chapter can all be occasions for a photo shoot. Sometimes it is about pleasing your partner and showing them a new image of yourself. Increasingly, it is also becoming a gift from work colleagues or friends to celebrate a hen night. How about an outdoor girlfriends’ session? Any reason is good to do something nice for yourself or a close female friend.
An outdoor women’s portrait session is the perfect opportunity to take great photos in a beautiful setting.
OUTDOOR PHOTO SHOOT – WHEN AND WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO DO IT?
Choosing a location for your session is thinking for yourself and tailoring it to your tastes. There is no unambiguously good place to do a photo shoot. It all depends on the styling, the time of year, the time of day. And what climate you feel comfortable in.
I will list and show you some interesting concepts for outdoor sessions I have had the opportunity to do recently. Maybe they will inspire you and based on them it will be easier for you to decide.
SUMMER PORTRAIT SESSION
Summer is the perfect time to do a light outdoor session. Sunshine, holiday time, a beautifully tanned body. It all makes us feel relaxed and looks great in the photos. All you need is a piece of woodland, a lake or a walk in the city. It’s all up to you.
How about a session on the train tracks? Why not. Please take a peek at what it looked like.
AUTUMN PHOTO SHOOT
Autumn can be beautiful. On sunny and reasonably warm days you can really create phenomenal photos. This is the perfect time for a session in the woods or mountains, where the palette of autumn colours is stunning. The right styling and location guarantee that a photo shoot in an autumnal climate has its power. I invite you to the photo gallery of autumn outdoor sessions.
PORTRAIT SESSION IN WINTER
This is a proposal for brave and cold-resistant women. Thanks to the winter climate, it takes on a truly unique dimension and the results can be spectacular. This is the fastest photo shoot to be completed. Usually half an hour is enough to create some good frames. Besides, it’s hard to demand exposure to low temperatures for longer.
PHOTO SESSION IN AN URBAN CLIMATE
Urban and industrial climates are my favorite places for sessions. Tenement houses, modern buildings, post-industrial atmosphere. Old factories, abandoned buildings. I love it. I would be happy to take and suggest where such photos can be taken.
How about a session in an abandoned building?
OUTDOOR PORTRAIT SESSION – A GUIDE ON HOW TO PREPARE
I have written a detailed guide on how to prepare for a session. You’ll find lots of useful tips and advice there. I would like to add that I have a checklist prepared for each session, which I send to you. There you will find information on what to bring, what looks good, what accessories, shoes, etc.
I usually ask you to choose a few styling and clothing changes. Throughout the shoot, we change them. Thanks to them, photos taken in a similar location can be surprisingly different.
Preparation in the form of make-up or hairstyle is also important. Decide for yourself which version suits you better. You can choose whether you want to be in the hands of professionals or do your preparation. I am not imposing anything. You decide.
I always try to precede the session with a phone call. During it, I ask about your expectations, details from your life, your interests. Sometimes you can relate to them beautifully and use them in photography. Maybe you love to dance? Why not show some dance steps during the session? Maybe you are an estate agent, and it would be worth taking a business photo with a modern building in the background.
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY, OUTDOOR WOMEN’S PHOTOGRAPHY – HOW MUCH DOES A SESSION COST AND WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?
An outdoor photo session costs £500. The price includes an hour-long photo session in a chosen location and 10 selected shots in digital . An additional shot above is a cost of 50 zł/shot.
There is an option to have make-up done before the session. This is an additional cost to be added to the session.
For those interested, I offer the possibility to order a voucher for the session and give it to a loved one.
WOMEN’S PHOTO SESSION – WHY IS IT WORTH DOING IT WITH ME?
Portrait photography, especially female portrait photography, is my favorite area of photography. Ever since I can remember, I have been photographically abusing all my female friends. I think many of them can attest to this fact. By the time I graduated from photography school and started to pursue this professionally, I had already done a lot of photography. Through countless shoots and photographs taken, I had gained a really thorough grounding. I have been to many courses and workshops. On these I’ve picked up further tips on how to take photos even better. Apart from all of the above, this is truly my beloved occupation. I can’t imagine a better occupation or any other job I could do. I love people, interacting with them, being in their company. Every person I meet is a different story. Every session is about getting to know and illustrating that story in my own way.
