Typically, I like to do basketball shots in a gym or outdoor court, but I liked how the mood of this one turned out in studio. Lucky for me, I’ve done quite a few sessions that included horses! I met this senior at the fairgrounds where we took her horse into the ring for some authentic interaction between her and her beautiful horse. Here, we are at an old train station nearby.
With this dancer’s edgy look, I was over the moon about capturing her look in a tutu, inside the studio. Something we are all very proud of in these parts. 😉ĭance is another big deal around here. In this one, I wanted to highlight his championship ring. Then, I come in close for a few headshots. I always start with one pulled back and wide with an off center composition to show off the athlete in his environment. To help put a visual to this whole concept, I thought I’d post a few shots that I have taken over the years.įirst up: FOOTBALL! I did luck out here with a sweet, new High School stadium paired with a good looking football player. And that athletic picture you desire for documentation could actually end up being a treasured image to be displayed. I’m not mocking you! Really! Just know that you could have more. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? The one with your child in the middle of an array of medals and jerseys surrounding him/her. I get it, I do! All I ask, and what most photographers would request, is to allow us to put a little spin on that traditional studio shot. If you have a child in football, basketball, or any sport for that matter, or a child who dances or rides horses, chances are you desire quality pictures that showcase their love during this time in their life. Allow your photographer to capture your athlete Today, we will break this concept down to the beloved athletic photo. First step? One must think outside the box. From pretty dresses to skinnys to jerseys and footballs, my goal is to make every senior photography experience one that will be remembered fondly. We begin this change with ACTUAL, natural surroundings and then showcase every senior’s unique style and personality. Those were the days and images, my friends, that make us all feel just a little better about growing older, don’t they? Senior photos should be a realistic, fun experience!Īlthough, I am not naive to think that the youth of today will be mocking many current trends in the future, I choose to believe that we have come a long way in capturing our high school seniors with a bit more authenticity.
Yes! The letter jacket, championship ring, white backdrop, large numbers. Or better yet, the giant numbers representing your graduating year. Or maybe the fake, outdoor country scene, where one would squat down on the hay bale for a more “natural” look. We could go way back and talk about the wicker chair option.
How many can remember those typical, must have senior photos? Reminisce with me for a minute.
