I'm a developing photographer, and the main issue I keep running into is where to shoot? Not that I'm not creative enough, I can shoot well anywhere. I sometimes shoot artistic nude and implied nude and that is not always a good idea outdoors. I don't have any friends that own a big warehouse or anything, any ideas on places that I can shoot?

I think it is cool to take a digital camera to a museum and take flash and non-flash pics and compare the light and how it flows between the two. If they match, that is good.

I have no idea about phoenix so I'll skip that. Poses - what is the reason for the shoot - what will the images be used for and where? What audience will you be marketing to? Ask him what he wants to look like? brooding?thoughtful, 'zany' (god help us) etc. There are pose books available. Lighting. I know you say that you don't have the money for fancy lights and flashes, but you can still achieve a lot with some very cheap (even home made) light modifiers. If you can run to say £100 you could pick up a cheap off camera system - phottix or similar. examples: use a white sheet or shower curtain to diffuse light. a sheet of polystyrene as a reflector - possibly wrapped in aluminium foil even a sheet of ply painted can be used in strong light to reflect and modify colour or as a shadow flag.

If you have the money, rent out a 5 star suite (average $100 bucks a night) and shoot there. You'll find all kinds of luxury items in that suite including a big bath tub. If you're not made of money, you can always shoot in the bedroom or living room. Have a crummy couch? Throw an inexpensive white sheet over it and now it looks modern! Hope this helps!

Something you might consider is having some props around to set up a shoot in your house. Go around to antique stores and buy old furniture if you want an aged or weathered texture in the background. Or get an assortment of sheets or blankets to throw over your furniture to change the look for different shoots. Go to a fabric store and go through the clearance stuff. You might even get some plywood or make big flats (canvas stretched on frames like what is used to make cheap sets for stage plays) and faux-finish it to make interchangeable walls.

Old lofts, churches, factorys, abandoned barns, rent a mansion, on a cruise ship...you want to find coves, texture, light and most importantly, shadows. Big windows and dim corners is the key.

Get out of town, head for the hills, etc.
If you're stuck in the city, rooftops, stairwells, summer places in winter, and winter places in the summer, boats, or as suggested, a motel or hotel room.
