Simple is best (Patreon)

I have gained a lot of studio experience over the years as I have been privileged to have one for myself and this was logically the place for me to create. But since the building my studio is in is kind off falling apart by now with the roof leaking and the central heating breaking down, I am forced to give up my studio by the end of summer as it would be too expensive to pay for something I won't use.

This got me out of my studio and start creating art at different locations. So on location shooting is a whole another ball game. I often use more natural light rather than flash, which is amazing but also new for me. And I have to deal with the surrounding area. Like elements in the background and what do I want in my frame and what not. So to build up this skill of shooting anywhere but a studio, I just implement small things at a time. Keeping it simple is the key and just build from there. As you can see I let Nikola just lean against the cabinet and later on in the shoot pose against it. It breaks the background a bit, but the cabinet is also being used and not just a prop. Making it feel more natural to me to have it in the frame.
