**Exploring My Photoshoot Locations: The Secrets Behind My Perfect Shot**
Choosing the right location is the heart of an exceptional photoshoot, and I’m excited to share what makes each place I use so special. I select locations based on the story I want to tell, the mood we’re aiming for, and how the space interacts with natural or artificial light. Whether it’s a sun-drenched park, a gritty urban street, a cozy indoor space, or a sleek professional studio, each spot serves a purpose.
For outdoor shoots, the golden hours — early morning or late afternoon — offer soft, flattering light and vibrant colors. Indoor settings provide more control, making them ideal for consistent lighting, regardless of weather. Some places require permits or rental fees, but many hidden gems are free if you know where to look. I scout my locations through research, word-of-mouth, and lots of exploration, always weighing their pros and cons.
While a stunning beach works perfectly for lifestyle or fashion shoots, it might not suit a corporate portrait. The versatility of a location is key; some spots are perfect for multiple types of sessions, while others have a one-time magic. Outdoor spaces offer natural backdrops and atmosphere but can be unpredictable. Studios guarantee privacy and lighting control but sometimes lack the character of on-location shoots.
For clients and fellow photographers: the right location isn’t just a backdrop, it’s a partner in creating the story you want to tell. Let's find that perfect spot together!
Testimonials
My shoot with Julio was amazing. The overall experience was calm and relaxed, and you can see his passion for photography. He worked very carefully to make sure every shot was perfect, and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole time. Would highly recommend shooting with him
Bailey H.
Julio is a very talented photographer, and he is very easy to work with. The photos I got from him were some of my favourite photos I’ve received from a photoshoot. I was able to use a photo from the photoshoot for my modelling portfolio. I posted the photos on my Instagram, and the photos got a lot of positive feedback and engagement. The photos did so well that I gained a lot of followers.
I fully recommend Julio to other models looking for quality photos.

Working with Julio was an absolute pleasure. He is a lovely person and a professional. The images we collaborated on turned out stunning. We did an indoor studio shoot with four looks, and each one was exquisitely posed with an eye for attention to detail. Highly recommend him for your portrait needs!

Julio was professional and respectful, and I enjoyed the creative vision he brought to the shoot. He respected my boundaries around nudity and did not push. He also helped coach me on posing, which I appreciated as a new model. I would recommend shooting with him if you have the opportunity.

Testimonials
My experience with Julio Linares Photography was incredible! He is extremely professional and very talented. He made me feel extremely comfortable, which I appreciated. His photography and creativity for setup are mind-blowing, and you will not want to miss your chance to shoot with him. He visualizes his ideas and photo plans, which I have never seen before! This is nice because it gives you an idea of what to expect and what he would like to achieve.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Julio, and I would recommend him every time.
Anna Perez
I worked with Julio once about a month ago and I definitely plan on continuing. I’m a very new
model, just beginning to learn how to pose and meet people, and he was fantastic. He was
extremely kind and made me very comfortable. He was open to the fact that I didn’t have too
much experience and I learned a lots from him as well. He explained lighting and angles as well,
so not only did I learn about modelling and what looks good on the camera, but why and how. I
did part of the session nude, and it felt completely okay, safe, and comfortable. I would
definitely recommend, a new model or experience, to shoot with Julio. The style of his photos is
unique and in my opinion, tells a story. It was amazing, and I was very happy with the way they
turned out.

"Julio was really great to work with! From start to finish, he was easy to communicate with, paid close attention to detail, and was very kind and respectful. Before the shoot, he provided lots of ideas for shoot locations, outfits and how to prepare. He made me feel very at ease during the shoot and offered great ideas for posing and capturing the best lighting and angles. He also followed up very quickly after the shoot with proofs and to deliver the final images. Highly recommend! Thank you, Julio!
