Fall Foliage Photography

Published by hexfire on October 11, 2008

Its that time of year again when the leaves change to vibrant colors and make for perfect outdoor photography. If you are not taking time at least once a weekend to get out and shoot nature at its finest then you’re missing out on both the beauty and the profit you could be making on your fall foliage photography.

Some of the most purchased office photography is fall foliage photos printed on nice canvas and mounted. Case in point, I was attending a meeting at a corporate office last week and had to wait in the conference room for a few minutes on my own. What I noticed was that along the hallway of this particular office was a large assortment of canvas mounted photography works. Most of the pieces were nature related, and at least half of them were fall foliage photography.

What does this mean to you as a semi pro photographer, or even amateur photographer? It means that there is a huge market out there for fall foliage photography that you can tap into. However you need to get out there and actually shoot the photos! Some of the best places to shoot are public areas that have easy access. A few examples of this would be cemeteries, public hiking paths, farm lands, or apple orchards.

If you happen to live in the northeast then this time of year is fantastic for fall foliage photography, but its not limited to just the north east. Take time to figure out when the best fall foliage photographs can be taken in your particular area and you could start making some extra income by selling you images to companies looking to spruce up the interior walls of their offices.
