Senior Portrait Session
For some time now I have been toying with the idea of starting a senior portrait division.
For those of you out there that don’t know, high school seniors have their portrait taken to remember a time of transition in their lives.
There are really two things that are appealing to me about senior portraits. The first and foremost is that I will be able to expand my photographic discipline into areas that will allow me to be more creative. I truly believe that an artist that just produces the same thing over and over does him or her self a real disservice. You need to keep your work fresh, and you need to be excited about what you are doing.
The second thing I am looking forward to is keeping busier during the week.
At any rate, once we launch the division we will initially be offering two types of in studio sessions for our seniors. The first will be called our Black and White Session.
The images created will be… get ready for it… black and white, but very contrasty and very commercial.
Needless to say I will be including heavy shadows. The second line/look we are working on will be revealed in about 6 months as we have a large investment to make before it can be created.
What I will not create are images using ridiculous props. The last thing I want coming out of my studio is the image of a senior sitting on a Styrofoam 08’. Yuk. If you know me, and my work, then you know I want it to look as different from everything I can find out there.
So, take a look at my first attempt. This session took about 1.5 hours to finish and the amount of images you see here is what a senior could expect to choose from.
If you are a frequent reader here, take the time to leave a comment at the bottom of the entry and let us know what you think. And again, if what you are looking for is a portrait sitting on a Styrofoam 08 that is still warm from the last senior that was sitting on it, or something leaning on a tree with a fake smile, then you are most definitely not going to like my work.
I am attempting to create individualism using my own unique style of photography. Shadows.
