Short Questions
When you say “indoor photography”, most of the time, you are referring to shoots that take place inside a building or structure. The best example would be a photo studio. But any indoor area or space (ex: a bedroom, a storage room, a coffee shop, or a museum) is considered “indoor”.
Many photographers choose outdoors because of the opportunities it offers. The overall effect that the outdoors gives is an important factor. There’s something about working with and around nature that makes some photographers excited. The most exciting thing about shooting outdoors, however, is the fact that you have an unlimited source of light.
