I am often asked to explain the difference between a Studio photoshoot and a Lifestyle photoshoot. I am fortunate to be in a position where I can offer both styles of photography, some clients love the lifestyle look, while others want the clean cut studio look in their images. Obviously, being a photographer, the best way I can explain the difference is through images I have created. I am going to do a post for each genre of photography I work in.
Lifestyle / Outdoor photoshoots can take place anywhere really, at your home, a local park or forest or a venue you love. One thing I have learnt through my journey as a photographer is to find the best light to create beautiful images no matter where I am, before I start a shoot I always have a walk around the location and decide on the best spots to take the photos. Light is one of the most important elements to photography and, I feel, it can make or break a photo.
Here are some examples of Lifestyle Maternity Images



Studio photography is alot more posed and formal. A real positive of having a studio is being able to offer a wide variety of maternity images in terms of having semi nude or nude photos, should my clients wish to have those types of images taken. I have a variety of backgrounds available to use in my studio so I do try and create different looks for each set-up.





As always, I could share hundreds of images so I hope I have managed to explain myself clearly with these few. At the end of the day, the location chosen is usually a personal one. Some clients love the outdoor look and others love the indoor look and I love working outdoors and indoors, it keeps me on my toes:)
