Photography Sites from Laci Davis

On Studio 5, one of the greatest shows ever made, they have contributors that make usual appearances on the show and show their talents, crafts, and treats. So I'm sure I will be saving/reposting a lot of the stuff I see on there, just so I don't forget all the fun ideas when I actually find the time to do them.

One of those AWESOME contributors is a Photographer Laci Davis, up in the SLC area. One the show she has revealed some of the beautiful walls and backdrops she uses for a lot of her photo shoots. I of coarse don't get to use them, since I am not anywhere close to most of them, but when I am up there I want to stop by all of them! She has done this reveal twice now, and with each site I don't think they could get any cuter, but somehow they always do.

Reveal #1

Colorful Striped Wall
650 N. Main Street, Logan

You will find this amazing wall tucked away behind the Papa Murphy's on Main Street. It speaks loud volumes with its bold primary colors with a subtle hint of vintage coloring. Now this is something you could design a room around!
Bright Red Patterned Wall
Taqueria La Costa Burrito, 4700 West 5800 North, Bear River City

I don't only love this wall because of its vibrant red color, but you just can't find a pattern wall everywhere. A black outfit will steal the show here!
Bear River City
This charming building is perfect for a great vintage look. The front offers strong pillars and an old fashion sign, then head on over to the side for some bright colorful brick.
Bright, Royal Blue Wall
Napa Auto Parts, 498 South Main Street, Brigham City

Bold? Yes, please! This deep tone will richen up any photo. I love to pair it with a great pink or yellow. This wall is perfect for boys and girls.
Gray Wall
Historic 25th Street, Ogden

Looking for something more natural or modern? Go with this sleek Gray. Its color flatters all skin tons and it has just the right amount of texture for a little flair. When you're done here go ahead, keep walking because you will find all sorts of hidden photography treasures here.
Bright Pink Wall
Jose Burritos, 2583 North Main Street, Clearfield

Think Pink! This unexpected spot is just perfect for a photo with sass. The best news is all sides of this building are painted so go any time of day!
White Textured Wall
100 South Main Street, Bountiful

Soft and serene this wall gives you a crisp clean look while still having that sought after texture in the circles
**Since the airing of this segment, this building/wall has been torn down .
Olive Green
160 South 5th West, Salt Lake City

Right behind the gateway is where this beauty is hidden. It offers several different tones of green from sage to olive you will be happy with this choice. Don't forget to use the great levels and garage doors for some sitting options. Bright Orange Wall with Blue Trim
Just off the 1-15 Exit, West Side Frontage Road, Lehi
(can see it from the freeway)
This wall makes me happy with the perfect tone or orange mixed with the soft blue. Don't stress the wardrobe, everyone will just be checking out the wall!
Tunnel
Entrada Golf Couse, 2537 Entrada Trail, St. George

St. George offers us such a beautiful landscape. Go over to the golf course snap some killer photos in the light shining tunnel and don't forget to hop on the black and red rock for another great photo.


Reveal #2
1. Maroon and Yellow Checkered
A&W, 701 N. Main Street, Logan

A checkered backdrop is such a great patternto work with. You can use the checks to frame people in. It also gives great depth and interest to your photo, without you having to do all the work!


2. Black and White striped
1050 N. Main Street, Logan

Stripes all are the rage right now, so this is a great way to incorporate the trend into your home. A secret, tucked away find - these shots would also look great printed in black and white!

3. Red
Mellen Glass,132 N Main St., Brigham City

This wall makes a serious, bold statement. The window details and textured brick make it a favorite for me!

4. Blue
American Legion, 845 W 24th St., Ogden

Bright, blue walls are one of my favorite to photograph on. This wall will give you a clean, crisp look, and complement all skin tones.

5. Green
470 S Main Street, Bountiful

This color is the perfect palette to Photoshop - bright and happy, or soft and dreamy. It will go with all looks!

6. Yellow
900 S State Street, Salt Lake City

This wall makes a bright, happy statement! All sides of the building are yellow, so you can go day or night and lighting will work to your favor. Plus, you will discover many different textures to play with. This is a must go!

7. Multi-Colored Wall
900 S State Street, Salt Lake City

Have you ever seen something so fun?! I would love a whimsical shoot full of lollipops and balloons here!

8. White
900 S State Street, Salt Lake City

A great white backdrop makes for a great go-to photo stop. It will always complement what you are wearing and let your outfits do the talking. What I love about this wall is the exposed brick; it offers added texture.

9. Lavender
Mercado Latino Market, 300 S University Avenue, Provo

I love the spot for staging pictures of sweet, little girls. The calm, cool tones seem to complement any and all skin tones. And the color goes with all your favorite "girly" outfits!

10. Mint Green
900 W Center Street, Provo

This spot is special because of the different color tones the wall provides. The building is light green with amazing 70's paintings in bright colors, framed in a dark green border. You might even find a shopping cart to use!
