My Most Photographed Location Is…. [What's Yours?]

Shot You Know Where

Do you have a place that you find yourself drawn to over and over again to take photos?

It struck me last week as I was quickly scanning back through my last few months of shooting that there was a location that appeared over and over again. It’s a room of our home (with a baby in the house much of my photography happens close to home in this season of life).

While I’ve never set out specifically to shoot in this location it is a regular feature of my photographic routine.

What room is it?

It’s our Bathroom

It might seem like a strange place to be shooting the bathtub in our bathroom is one of the most photographed locations in our house. Why? There are a few little reasons:

  • the first are our three boys who tend to spend time there every night – where they go, my camera goes.
  • our three boys don’t sit still long – but in the bath they’re at least a little contained and that makes for easier shooting
  • it’s also a playful and fun time – good for capturing the boys at their animated best
  • light – this is the real reason I love our bathroom. Let me explain more….

The light in our bathroom is fantastic. We have a large frosted window facing the west and so when the sun sets (around bath time at our place) there’s a beautiful diffused light that shines into the room.

Not only that all the walls and floor are white and there’s a big mirror too – so that gorgeous light just bounces around that room like crazy making it like a big life-sized lightbox!

That’s one of my most regular locations for photographing my kids – but what about you? Where do you find yourself taking more shots than any other place… and why?

What Mode Do You Shoot in Most? [POLL]

What mode do you shoot most of your photos in?

We’ve run this poll previously a couple of years back and I’ll be interested to hear whether the results have changed at all in that time.

There’s no right or wrong and there's no mode that you should feel embarrassed about – we're all at different levels and use our cameras in different ways.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

For the record – I tend to shoot most in Aperture Priority mode. I switch between modes a fair bit but as I tend to shoot wide open and love throwing the background out of focus it makes sense to me to start in that mode.

Once you’ve voted tell us about why you shoot in the mode that you do – I would love to hear your insights!
