Outdoors versus indoors photography




Hello lovelies! I thought I'd check out what you think about my recent indoors photography for the blog and if you prefer to see my outfits outdoors. It's a terrible dilemma at this time of year when the weather is so changeable and the light can be dull and uninspiring. I'd hoped to catch the early morning sunshine, but by the time I'd chosen my outfit and done my make-up the weather had changed and it was even raining in the distance.




Obviously artificial light is much more reliable and highlights much more in the way of detail, but I do worry that you'll tire of the same old backdrop, especially when I normally feature some lovely vantage points on Tresco. So today I'm mixing up indoors and outdoors for you in the hope that you'll comment with your thoughts.






You'll probably have seen my orange sequinned jacket before as I always bring it out at this time of year. I found it in TK Maxx a few years ago and still love it as much as ever. The mixture of sequins plus cosy padding equals a wonderful winter layer with lots of glamour! I've recently unpacked my Christmas suitcase and think I need to be wearing some sparkle every day from here on to give it all an airing!




My faux leather trousers were a recent purchase from Primark. They're great for this time of year as they are wind proof and rain proof too. I added an old leather belt and an orange roll neck to complete this festive look. My jewellery is all old as are my sunglasses.




It was great to rediscover these olive green sock boots in the back of my wardrobe, a perfect match for my new trousers. They were from Zara years ago - love the silver heels!




So that just about rounds it up for this week's post. I'd love to hear back from you as to which is your preferred location at this time of year. Or even if you think it's not relevant. As we're in the run up to Christmas I know I'll be battling with the elements but do want to keep you entertained!

  1. I think that the best light is the driving factor for me - I like to see the clothes, first and foremost, Anna! The amazing backdrops are a treat, of course, but in this crap weather, it's totally fine with me to see indoor pics. I have to skip my own stair pics this time of year as it's just too dark to do my early morning pics.

    LOVE that amazing jacket - just pack that up and ship it to me! Love the pleather trousers too!

    1. You're right Sheila, the best light is the most important thing. I'll stick with that for the moment. Ah yes, isn't the jacket just dandy! xxx

  3. Your blog and great outfits always inspire me Anna, so I’m not too fussed on where your pics are taken.
    That said, I adore the beautiful beach pics that you post in the Summer months.
    I think that it’s fine to take indoor pics in this miserable weather, no issue with that at all. x

  4. Hi dear Anna, you are always welcome here on my monitor, wether inside or outside. I think, you are a sequins girl. In my mind's eye I see your mermaid coat and now the fire colored blouson. You are a every week fashion surprise.
    Happy pre-christmasy time!
    Icy cold hugs from Cologne, today only -4° brrrr.

  5. I'm interested to see you find the "pleather" trousers comfortable. Pretty, yes, but to my mind cold in the cold and sticky hot in the warm. Great looking outfit though. And probably you can find more indoor venues? Great to see you in any case.

    1. Hi Kate. The pleather jeans have a cosy lining to them making them very easy to wear in all weathers. I struggle with indoor venues here due to low ceilings at home... xxx

  6. Love this outfit Anna, but I'm with you on the struggles of indoor/outdoor shooting. Indoors for me tend to look flat, but are brighter especially if it's cloudy and wet. They both look super though. I missed out on the trousers, I spotted them but wasn't sure, I wished I'd got them now I've seen you in them. With have to go back and see if they're still in there.

    1. The trials of a blogger's life, eh Jacqui! I hope you managed to find the trousers too - they're so useful at this time of year.

  7. That orange sequined jacket is totally rocking indoor and out Anna. Thanks for giving us both. Of course, it is always wonderful to see the Scillys but the weather does not play nicely sometimes! :) x
