Discover the best places to do an editorial photoshoot in Washington DC

Editorial photography is a diverse genre that includes illustrative portraits for magazines, urban fashion shoots set in an industrial loft, and even editorial wedding photography. The idea is to use images to tell the story with as few words as possible. That means the venue has to be perfectly matched to the theme you have in mind. Fortunately, like any big city, Washington, D.C. is a creative hub with plenty of options for a photoshoot!

Unique locations for an editorial photoshoot in Washington DC

One of the best ways of holding a successful editorial shoot is to choose a location that's truly unique. It will tie into the story being told about the subject in a way that's immediately attention-grabbing. If your editorial shoot is about life in downtown DC, why not book space at a chic cafe, underground club, or studio loft? Alternatively, photo studios in Washington, D.C. give you more control over the lighting environment and are sometimes cheaper to rent as well. Editorial studios typically go in 1-2 hour blocks of time. Just remember if you need ample natural light for the shoot to inquire beforehand which times of day provide light at the right angles. Golden Hour and Blue Hour are popular times for natural light editorial photography and the best times of day depend on which direction the windows face in the studio!

Find editorial photoshoot prop rentals in Washington DC

One of the most essential aspects to running a successful editorial session is having a variety of props to work with. The props are as important as the background since they help sell the narrative being shared. A fashion editorial could include a classic car or full-length mirror to pose with, for example. Props are sometimes included as part of the space or venue rental. Other times you have to reserve them separately. A creative loft set up for editorial photography may list props like stools, studio backdrops, or vintage furniture. A boudoir photoshoot venue will often have outfit changes, light modifiers like curtains, and makeup available. Inquire with your chosen venue beforehand what sort of props are included and how much the rates are. The same goes for accessories like lighting, spare cameras, and off-camera flash units. You may even be able to hire assistants like another photographer to run a second camera or makeup artists to do touch-up work so models look their best at all times!
