As photographers, we’ve all been there—scouting locations and thinking, “There’s nothing here worth shooting.” But the truth is, incredible portraits can come from the most unexpected places. One of my favorite examples? An ugly parking garage wall.
Recently, I stumbled across a location that, at first glance, looked like the last place you’d want to shoot. We were driving past, and something about the wall’s texture and the leading lines caught my eye. No test shots. No overthinking. Just a gut instinct that there was potential.
This is where the magic happens—learning to see the way your camera sees, not just what your eyes see.
