7 Great Places To Take Portraits You Probably Haven't Tried

Seek out cool graffiti or outdoors sculptures and ask your model to do some fun poses in front of artistic backdrops.

A beautiful background for gorgeous portrait photography. No flowers in sight? Substitute flower fields for fall leaves, green grass, vineyards or tall forests.

Shooting in front of a solid, colorful wall outside is trending. You'll get a great monochromatic background with lots of light, contrast and shadow for a photo with character all of its own.

Taking photos near windows guarantees great lighting, and can add the artistic effects of reflection for moody, pensive portraits.

Try ice cream or antique shops, cutely decorated cafes or diners, or any location that has a quirky, authentic feel of its own. It'll add an instant story-telling vibe to portraits.

Seek out abandoned places for a most interesting, edgy backdrop. Ideal location for subjects that live on the edge and give off that grunge vibe.

Catch them in their natural habitat for a genuine photoshoot.
