Atlanta’s photography scene is on point. You’ll be hard-pressed to think of a photography theme, topic, or idea that the city can’t cater to! Here are a few of our favorite cool places to take pictures near Atlanta that you won’t want to miss.

1. Welcome to the jungle

There is no limit to the creative, cool places to take pictures near Atlanta. And Peerspace is the best place to find them all — quickly and easily! Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for production and event venues, making it the go-to spot to find whatever your creative soul is in search of. For example, how about booking this forest/jungle scene for a look that transports you from the heart of Atlanta into the heart of the Amazon?

2. OJ’s Bronco

You are bound to have an epic photoshoot when you take your shots in one of America’s most infamous and well-remembered vehicles — a 90s Ford Bronco! This vehicle is synonymous with OJ Simpson but soon, it’s going to be synonymous with your stunning photoshoot. This 1996 Ford Bronco XLT Eddie Bauer Edition is perfect for a vehicle shoot in Atlanta. It even features a custom red leather G-wagon interior and custom 24-inch Forgiato rims!

3. The Krog Street Tunnel

The wealth of artwork and stunning graffiti in the Krog Street Tunnel makes it a great spot to get some grungy and creative photos! The tunnel is also a great place to get other ideas of where to shoot — people frequently hang up signs in the tunnel to advertise cool events happening around the city.

4. A fishy mural

Murals provide a stunning backdrop to a photoshoot but they are made even better when the mural is private and you don’t have to stage with other people posing alongside you. On Peerspace, you’ll find plenty of private, cool places to take pictures near Atlanta that feature creative murals. Like this fish wall that was custom painted by local Atlanta artist Graham Bickerstaff.

5. The Box

This 12-foot by 12-foot fully mirrored and LED room is absolute fire. On Peerspace, you can view the photos to see how other people have used this space for jaw-dropping photography with a totally unique aesthetic. “By far this is the best place to book for a photo shoot, video shoot, or whatever you’re trying to do,” says one Peerspace reviewer. “The host was amazing, very helpful and organized!”

6. Girlz In The Hood

The Girlz in the Hood photo studio in downtown Atlanta is exactly what you need for a fabulous and feminine photoshoot! It’s half vintage, half modern, and all class. This space offers tons of amazing props and a Peerspace Power Host that guests rave about. “The best host I have ever ran across,” says one Peerspace reviewer. “I wish I could leave 100 stars!! so accommodating, so helpful, so understanding! I would book with her a million times!”

7. A rooftop loft with a rooftop

If you’re in search of photography spots that scream “I’m in Atlanta” — book a private loft with rooftop views! This downtown Peerspace loft is nestled in Castleberry Hills and offers stunning city views as a backdrop for your photos. Plus, you’ll also have access to the 1,800-square-foot rooftop during your booking!

8. State Farm Arena

Another spot that absolutely screams “Atlanta” (albeit, a little more literally) is the “Atlanta” sign outside State Farm Arena. The best time to shoot at this sign would probably be in the early morning hours, so you don’t have cars and people running around blocking your shot.

9. Epic ruins

For the grungiest, cool places to take pictures near Atlanta, head to East Point. There, you’ll find a photoshoot space like no other. Welcome to the awesome 1880s foundry, warehouse, and machine factory turned photoshoot paradise! This awesome Peerspace venue not only offers grungy excellence, it also features fresh and clean artificial turf that makes the space come alive in any photos.  

10. A pool paradise

Our favorite cool places to take pictures near Atlanta on a warm, summer day are Peerspace venues that come with amazing pools! For example, this intimate poolside paradise in Chosewood Park not only comes with a gorgeous saltwater pool but plenty of tropical plants that tie in seamlessly to the towering green canopy of trees surrounding the property. An Atlanta summer photoshoot backdrop doesn’t get more perfect than this!

11. Ponce City Market

The hustle and bustle of Ponce City Market on a weekend make it such a fun place for an impromptu photoshoot. Wander around, snap some pics, eat some delicious food, and just enjoy your day! Make sure to snap a pic with the “Ponce City Market” sign in the background too!

12. Have it all

Rather than settle for just one photoshoot theme or look — combine a few of your favs by renting out a Peerspace with multiple sets or studios! For example, check out this multiple-set warehouse studio in Adair Park. This space features LED stairs, a library-themed set, a workshop set, an abandoned school set, and so much more. You can also add other great features like a reflecting pool or baby grand piano to your shoot too!
