Ron.... I'm almost always asked before I start a session, what ideas do you have for me. My answer is always the same. I don't know. The reason? I never know till the second I start what the elements of the day will be. So many elements go into making a great image, first the mood of the subject, are they up or are they down. I want my images to be real so I never try and change the mood,(with that said if the subject comes in down, because of my shooting style they normally are up in just a few minutes but I don't try and force it.) then the outfits how do they speak to me. next element is what's going on around you, is it raining, snowing, do we have a rainbow? one time I had a train parked right out my backdoor for a whole day, I had to take advantage of it. the trick to these elements are in order to use them you must first see them. once you see them how will you take advantage of them? Once all those elements start coming together that's when I start getting inspired on how I'll capitalize on the each of those elements to make a very creative image.
Be creative and see, use the elements of the day and you also will be inspired.
