One of the great skills a talented photographer has is to see the world in a different way.
According to professional photographer Phillip Haumesser, beginner photographers are always asking how he finds such amazing locations to shoot his subjects. The answer? “Open your eyes, they’re all around you. You really don’t have to go anywhere. We’ve all become so blind to the beauty around us that you have to retrain your brain to see things in a new way.”
We followed him around at a shoot to try and get some understanding of how it’s done. According to Phillip:
One of my biggest fears when I first started was I thought I would have to have the best locations to have full control over the environment I would be shooting in. But after a while, I decided to challenge myself and let my clients choose a location. This would force me to find good spots on the spot the day of the session. That’s when I discovered that almost any location can be a good location, you just have to learn how to see it.
Here are some photos showing what the locations look like and then showing how Phillip sees them.
