This document summarizes the key considerations for three potential photo shoot locations: 1) An outside brick building - Minimal permissions or safety issues, but bland background. May need artificial light. 2) A college photography studio - Ideal controlled lighting and equipment, but careful of expensive gear and wires. Need scheduled access. 3) A park forest - Mysterious backdrop but may need lights. Safety concerns about going when dark or dangerous ground items. Suitable location.
