High School Seniors...

Senior photography is always fun, I find. Here are a few shots from a recent session. This 1st shot was done with 2 off camera lights, the foreground was lit with one flash, and the senior was lit with a medium softbox camera left just above his head. It is fun setting up the lighting for these sets. The lighting really makes the colors pop, and the modeling of the faces of the seniors is also enhanced. In the end, you end up with portraits that should last a life time...

This final shot was lit with a medium soft box only. I underexposed the background, as I was trying to make a more dramatic lighted shot that would look more manly! The senior loved the drama of it...

I have been really wanting to do a fall color shoot, and I got my wish this past weekend. I had 2 nice young ladies eager to make some nice High School Senior portraits out at Elizebeth Park in Trenton Michigan. This fall has been so warm that there really wasn't any great fall colors until just the last few days. It got cold so fast we only had a couple days to cash in. Well, the gals are happy, and so was I. Unlike wedding photography, where you have no time to set up stunning photography YOU just have to get it as it happens, the senior portrait sessions can be planned in several locations with plenty of time to create the look you're looking for. As you can see, I've moved from one location to another fairly fast. I'll set a photograph up, and then click off several photos.
