>>6330257> you don't need to buy fancy props either, going outside can give you a wealth of objects to interact with to add life to your photo. Plus, natural lighting is always nice.I couldn't agree more. One of the reasons I like captaindangerous and others so much isn't the props, its because they're either outside or lit by sunlight, which as you've stated is the best light.
I've been and remain very critical about the whole ACBA dio thing but the main reason is because I think pictures taken outside are better than pictures taken inside. Why go through the trouble of trying to sculpt rocks when you can just go out and shoot by some rocks?
I never understood their "everything in camera, no post" bullshit. Ask any photographer, and real photographer and they'll tell you post is just part of the process. As whole I think they suck because they're more focused on the "toy" part as opposed to the "photography part."
There's also a repetitive nature to dios and since they're indoors a lot of people tend to have poor white balance. I'm not saying they're all bad but like 90% all look the same and aren't done very well. Literally the only exception I can think of is Monsterlaut and even he follows a lot of ACBA tropes.
I can rant about it forever but the point is I'd recommend shooting outdoors anytime.
