One of the most frequently asked questions by clients is whether they should opt for an outdoor photoshoot. Here are some reasons why choosing an outdoor photoshoot is always a good idea, especially when booking with Rado Photography.


Outdoor photography

What are the benefits of choosing an outdoor photoshoot? Everything required for a session can be found outdoors. It's that simple. Consider this for a moment... natural light, a variety of backgrounds, more freedom to move, and no time constraints. What more could you ask for? Picture yourself with your family, basking in the light of the sunset. You don't have to pose to capture incredible images. Just have fun, play, and cuddle. The photographer will take care of the rest.


Outdoor photography allows us to appreciate the wonders of nature. With each changing season, you can seize the beauty that nature presents... from vibrant green leaves to the falling foliage.


The only downside is the weather... We're all familiar with English weather. It might be the sunniest day of the month, but suddenly, rain can come pouring down out of nowhere...


Studio/indoor photography

Some individuals prefer studio sessions because they believe they can capture more "controlled" photos.

Not true! You can still produce stunning images using both methods; the real question is: Which one do you prefer?


When working in a studio, there are fewer opportunities due to limited space, time, and background. Outdoors, you can choose between posed shots, candid photos, or a combination of both. In contrast, studio photography requires the photographer to pose you against a selected backdrop and setting. While different, both styles can yield stunning results.

Of course, there are exceptions for studio sessions, such as professional LinkedIn profile pictures or newborn photography. However, not every baby photoshoot needs to be posed; it all depends on personal preference.

Lifestyle sessions can be just as beautiful as posed images, and the best part is that they can take place right in the comfort of your own home.
