Location photography is when you go to where the subject is instead of the subject coming to your studio.
Usually it is a photography done at a particular venue or location (i.e.
landscape, architectural photography, wedding, exterior, interior, residential,
construction photography etc.), rather than in a studio. Sometimes pro
photographers refer to "location photography" meaning they have rates
for shooting at client's location – could be everywhere where your imagination
goes.

I tried to define location photography by creating the spider mind map. The image below is the representation of my understanding of location photography. I have used brainstorming techniques and the XMind software to develop some ideas about location photography.
On Friday 26th of October 2012 we worked in
groups and discussed about technology, media and techniques to be able
to create photographs at an outdoor and indoor location in the future. We developed our ideas by putting them into spiders map.
These are the spiders diagrams created for the Stoats and
Badgers. One focusing on equipment and the other on types of landscape
photography.
When I first started photography shooting strictly on
location, a couple years back, finding a location for photo-sessions
seemed to be such an obstacle for me. Where can I shoot that’s really
interesting and eye-catching? I asked myself. A few years later and much
more knowledgeable, I can definitely say the background is not as
important as you may think. It’s all about drawing the eye to the
subject/subjects with minimal distractions (usually). Now I don’t mean
to take some of the fun out of it, finding a suitable location and
adding a personal touch is really a great thing.
