Loving Trying New Studio Spaces: A Creative Journey

Loving Trying New Studio Spaces: A Creative Journey

As a creative, finding inspiration and exploring new spaces is crucial to keeping your work fresh and exciting. One way to do this is by trying out different studio spaces. Whether you’re a photographer, artist, or any kind of creative, here are some reasons why trying new studio spaces can be a great way to enhance your creative journey.

There’s something so exciting about stepping into a new studio space and letting your creativity run wild. Lately, I’ve been loving trying out different studios and seeing how the space can inspire my work.⁣⁣

Whether it’s a bright and airy space with natural light pouring in, or a cozy and intimate space with moody lighting, each studio offers its own unique vibe that can influence the tone of my work.⁣⁣

Not only is it inspiring to explore new creative spaces, but it’s also a great way to connect with other artists and photographers. Sharing ideas and bouncing creative concepts off of each other can lead to some amazing collaborations and fresh perspectives.⁣⁣

So if you’re feeling stuck in your creative process, I highly recommend checking out some new studio spaces in your area. You never know what kind of inspiration you might find!

 

  1. Inspiration

Each studio offers its own unique vibe and atmosphere that can influence the tone of your work. Whether it’s the lighting, the decor, or the layout, these elements can inspire your creativity in new and exciting ways. When you step into a new studio space, you may find yourself seeing things differently, noticing details you hadn’t before, and feeling a renewed sense of inspiration.

  1. Networking

Exploring new studio spaces is also a great way to connect with other artists and creatives in your community. By attending events, open houses, or even just reaching out to fellow creatives who use the space, you can build a network of like-minded individuals who share your passion for creativity. Collaborating with other creatives can lead to some amazing projects, and you may even find new opportunities or clients through these connections.

  1. Experimentation

Trying out new studio spaces can also be a great way to experiment with new techniques and styles. You can push your boundaries and grow as an artist or creative by stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new. Perhaps you’ll discover a new lighting setup or find that working in a different space helps you see your work in a new light. Whatever the case, experimenting with new spaces can be a great way to expand your skill set and broaden your creative horizons.

  1. Variety

Finally, trying new studio spaces can simply add some variety to your work. If you’re used to working in the same space day in and day out, it can start to feel stale and unexciting. Trying out new spaces can add some much-needed variety to your routine and help keep your work fresh and interesting.

In conclusion, trying out new studio spaces can be a great way to enhance your creative journey. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, networking opportunities, experimentation, or simply some variety, exploring new spaces can help you grow as an artist or creative. So why not start researching some new studio spaces in your area today? You never know what kind of inspiration and growth you might find!

Mommy and Me sessions are photography sessions that focus on the bond between a mother and her child. These sessions can take place in a studio or outdoors, and they offer a wonderful opportunity to capture the love and connection that exists between a mother and her child.

These sessions are also a wonderful way to celebrate your relationship with your child. Whether you’re a new mom or your child is all grown up, the bond between a mother and her child is special. Mommy and Me sessions allow you to celebrate that bond and capture it in a way you can cherish forever.

Tips for a Successful Mommy and Me Session

If you’re considering a Mommy and Me session, here are a few tips to help you prepare:

    1. Choose the right location: Consider what setting would best capture the relationship between you and your child. Do you want to shoot in a studio, or would you prefer an outdoor location?
    2. Coordinate your outfits: Choose outfits that complement each other and reflect your personal style.
    3. Relax and have fun: Don’t worry too much about posing or trying to get the perfect shot. The best Mommy and Me photos come from natural, candid moments between you and your child.
    4. Bring some props: If you want to add personality to your photos, consider bringing props that reflect your interests or hobbies.

Holiday starry night (day) in a Pittsburgh studio | Pamela Salai photography

December 2022

Holiday Starry Night (Day) in a Pittsburgh studio

memories and emotions

Let’s be real here. Most people when booking a photo session are wanting to capture moments – these moments become memories that are evoked by emotions.

It truly is poetic and beautiful if you let it release and unfold.

My idea behind my sessions is to do just that however, the concepts are to build uniqueness into the photos. Sometimes concepts might be obvious to the onlooker what you feel, what you see what you believe the idea of the images is about. However, the stories behind the images are really to be told by the clients.

Sometimes props are used because they hold certain meanings in their life.

I adore this Holiday starry night ( which was taken in the day ) theme. I have always loved stars since I was a little girl. My dad would teach me all about the constellations that we see above and the proudest moment in my life was seeing the northern lights – I know not stars. However, the magic in the sky against the stars is the most beautiful sight in the world.

I wanted to bring that magic to my set. I help my client outfit in the most perfect dress. Click here for the link. Gotta love supporting other creatives <3

All my images are edited with their very own presets and actions. CLICK HERE 

Now onto the show!

Live life magically because let’s face it any other way is just plain ole’ boring | Snow Magical in Pittsburgh

December 2022

 

 

Let it snow!

even when … there really was no snow 😉 

 

Live life magically because let’s face it … any other way is just plain ole’ boring.

 

Sometimes the snow does not come soon enough here in Pittsburgh or when it does it’s FREEZING. So that calls for some extra editing magic to happen.

Some photos just seem to take on a new life when you spin them in another direction and that is what you will see below here. I added some extra magical snow to some of my client’s Christmas Tree farm photos because …well … it honestly just seems to fit the moment. 

And yes … I do offer Holiday | Christmas mini sessions ( almost ) every year. However, I will tell you there is nothing more magical than a full session capturing all the details and love and hugs and moments that happen. Mini sessions are QUICK … and you don’t always capture those moments …so keep that in mind 😉 

 

All of my edits start off with my very own presets, this one got an extra topping of my NEW action which I am going release in the NEW 2023 year for you all, and of course, the snow ones had some extra editing for the touches of frost and snow.
