9 Wall Art

Photographs posing by wall art always look gritty and urban, and many fashion photographers love using graffitti was backdrops to their photoshoots, and I myself have used them from time to time, giving me a colourful backdrop with sometimes very interesting and surreal content.

You can find graffitti in any town or city, and while the quality of work will vary widely, there is always a good chance of finding something bright and unusual and well executed to shoot with.

Almost any style of clothing can be used for this, casual fashion, high end fashion, practically anything can go, the only limit is you.

10 At Home

Yes, if all else really does fail then why not set aside some space where you can create your own indoor fashion shoot, all you need is a plain coloured, smooth wall, and you can do a fashion shoot from your bedroom should you wish.

A wall without pictures on it is preferable, a plain wall, and it can be any colour you want, if you have a white wall, brilliant, white always looks good, and you can also make white appear grey by carefully positioning the lights so that they do not expose the wall correctly, this will give a nice grey colour, just remember that you need light on yourself or you wont be seen.
