How to Find the Perfect Location based on Ernesto Cachan's 20 Years of Experience as a Portrait Photographer 

Ernesto Cachan is a portrait photographer with over 15 years of experience in Miami, Florida. He has photographed celebrities, business leaders, and families in a variety of locations, from beaches to gardens to city streets. In this article, Cachan shares his tips for finding the perfect location for your next photoshoot:

  1. Consider the mood and tone of the shoot. What kind of atmosphere do you want to create in your photos? Do you want something elegant and sophisticated? Or something more rustic and natural? The location you choose should reflect the mood and tone of the shoot.
  2. Be creative and don’t be afraid to experiment. Don’t limit yourself to the most obvious locations. There are many hidden gems out there that can make for stunning portrait photography backdrops. Think outside the box and explore different possibilities.
  3. Look for interesting backgrounds. A good background can make a big difference in your photos. Avoid backgrounds that are too cluttered or distracting. Instead, look for backgrounds that are simple and elegant, or that have interesting textures and patterns.

Here are some of Ernesto Cachan’s favorite portrait photography locations in Miami, Florida:

  • Natural areas: Villa Turqueza, Secret Gardens 
  • Beaches: Virginia Key Beach, South Beach, Matheson Hammock Park
  • Gardens: Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Villa Turqueza
  • Parks: Amelia Earhart Park, A.D.(Doug) Barnes Park

Of course, these are just a few suggestions. There are many other great portrait photography locations in Miami, Florida and beyond. The best way to find the perfect location for your next photoshoot is to explore and be creative.

Here are some additional tips from Cachan:

  • Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try different locations and angles. You never know what you’ll come up with.
  • Be prepared for anything. The weather in Miami can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan.
  • Have fun! Photography should be enjoyable. If you’re having fun, your subject will be too, and your photos will show it.

With a little planning and creativity, you can find the perfect location for your next portrait photoshoot.
