The images our team captured took place in 3 different Indiana locations: Washington, Franklin Township, and Southside Parks. Capturing landscape architecture is a challenging facet of our business because it’s set in a public space where citizens meander around. We usually arrange for child models and their parents to come to the site, but upon arrival, we ask the other people if they want to partake in the shoot and be photographed, if so a model release form is signed. For these two projects, we had a wonderful group of people that participated in our shoot and populated the area. 

When we work in a public place such as this, we want the models to appear candid and natural versus posed. However, we are also highlighting the usage of the installations itself, and by doing so we give both children and adults a general area to assemble and then let them move about naturally. During these shoots, there’s a lot going on, so for good measure we capture many images. Landscape architecture projects are always fun and exciting to be a part of and we were very happy with the results.
