Choosing A Venue For Portrait Photography Melbourne

By Helene Norris


When making arrangements for portrait photography Melbourne, why not aim for something different, something outside the stuffy confines of a photographer's studio. Take a look around at some of the city's scenic areas and 19th century architecture for inspiration. Make your portrait memorable.

The City of Melbourne is the capital of the Australian state of Victoria. The greater metropolitan area, with a total population of some 4.5 million, takes in 30 municipalities in addition to the state capital. Situated in a sheltered nook off Port Phillip Bay. Looking out over the Bass Strait, you can see Tasmania on a clear day.

The city's modern skyline is a work of art in its own right, especially when it is lit up at night and you can see multicolored lights reflected in the bay. Among the architectural delights is Flinders Street Station, the first-ever city station in Australia, built in 1854. The structure, inspired by French Renaissance design, includes a large dome and a clock tower.

Another fine spot is the Shrine of Remembrance. Erected on St Kilda Road to memorialize soldiers who died in the First World War, it now stands as a memorial to all soldiers who have served in Australia's wars. As it happens, it is one of the largest of Australia's war memorials. It was based on the classical style of architecture. The Greek influence is unmistakable, as you can see elements of the Tomb of Mausolus and the Parthenon.

For sports fans, having a photograph taken at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is a definite must. Dressing in cricket whites is also mandatory. Compare the ground with the Olympic Stadium, located due south and on the north bank of the Yarra River, which looks the size of a high school football field by comparison.

The Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building was built to contain the Melbourne International Exhibition in the late 19th century. It is one of the last remaining buildings of its kind in the world and was granted UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2004. The best time of year to be photographed here is when the impressive tulip field is in bloom, near the fountain on the south side of the building.

This beautiful city has so much more to offer than lovely old buildings. Try Williamstown Botanic Garden for an area of natural outdoor beauty. The only problem you will have is deciding which of the beautiful exhibits to use as a backdrop. Here, you can try looking for your favorite plants or trees and sit for your photo there. Alternatively, just wander around, find a nice spot and shoot.

Even if none of these ideas for portrait photography Melbourne doesn't quite suit you, at least you have an idea of the broad range of alternatives that the city has to offer. Try one. It is infinitely more creative than sitting in front of a blue background grinning like an idiot in a photographic studio.
