There's lots of great outdoor work done in the winter; just surf through the 'People' and 'Professional' galleries; just because it's cold out, well, that's what jackets are for, but really if you have a slow time, why not put it to good use and PRACTICE YOUR LIGHTING??????????? Lighting is equally important out of doors, and I am willing to bet that you could be providing your clients a MUCH greater quality of work with some increased knoweldge in this essential skill.... I don't have a studio, and I'm not exactly a pro and indoor lighting, so my safe bet is always outdoors. Well I can't do that anymore because I can't just not shoot any jobs from December-March...
Studio space is easy and cheap; grab the Yellow Pages and look up "studios"; if you're near a medium or larger urban centre than I'm willing to bet that someone has shared studio space available. In my area that goes anywhere from $25-50/hour to $150/month depending on space, location and amenities. Lots of dance studios are willing to rent by the hour during quiet times, just make sure that your insurance covers the location.
