Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about whether I should go for a studio or outdoor photoshoot for my upcoming family session. I love the idea of outdoor shoots, especially in a beautiful city like Rome, but I’m also wondering if a studio might offer more control over lighting and the overall look. Has anyone here done both? What are the pros and cons of each in your experience?

I’ve done both, and honestly, it depends on what kind of vibe you want for your photos. Outdoor shoots can be stunning, especially in a city like Rome with its incredible backdrops. You get the natural lighting, and the surroundings can add so much personality to your photos. For instance, getting a professional photographer in Rome can help capture the essence of iconic locations, blending the architecture and the natural light in a unique way. On the other hand, studio photography gives you complete control over everything – lighting, backgrounds, and temperature. You’re not limited by weather or time of day, which is a huge advantage if you want a more polished, consistent look. You can always go for a mix of both – maybe some outdoor shots for the natural feel, and then some studio photos for a classic, timeless look. By the way, if you’re considering booking a photographer in rome, I’d suggest checking out Mike Kire's photography services. He’s excellent at both styles!

Either way, it’s important to talk with your photographer about what you’re envisioning!
