The most positive thing about shooting indoors is the fact that you have control over several factors. You can control the climate, lighting and interruptions, but depending on the photographer you may find the photographs to be a bit sterile and lacking in environment. Regardless of whether I am shooting indoors or outside, the environment I put my actor in is as important as making sure I get the proper exposure on the film.

  • One thing to think about when shooting indoors, is that with out adequate natural light your photographer will have to use strobes. I rarely see someone that is bothered by them, but if you feel that the flashing may be a distraction, you may want to discuss alternatives with your photographer.

  • Make sure you look at the photographers book carefully. Decide for yourself whether there is enough variety in backgrounds and environment in the pictures to suit your taste. Sometimes headshots look very sterile due to lack of environment.

  • When you shoot indoors you may find you have more freedom to relax and let music set the mood.
