Seniors → Senior Portraits
I love photographing seniors. They are young, fresh, beautiful skins, no wrinkles. Oooops, but sometimes you must pay special attention to such matters as weight, shyness, outfits, and parental influence. Let’s talk about parental influence. Often the parents hover around the senior and they just can’t be themselves. Add to that, that the senior does not really know me. What do I do? Firstly, I tell the parents that I”ll be shooting privately with the senior. Now I have to get the subject to relax and I do that by some good old fashion questions about them and getting them to laugh. It is important that they realize I know something about posing. Not all of us are perfect so skillful posing is necessary to reduce the look of weight. Often the subject is shy and doesn’t know what posture will look best. It’s important to show them the position that you want. And its most important to analyze their body type and without their knowledge put them in the most flattering positions. Look at the seniors on the blog. I have tried to show flattering stances for these most beautiful young ladies.
