STICKY:  How to photograph a high school Senior - Part 2

This shot isn't lit the best and wasn't planned since we were pretty much done with the shooting, but when the girl saw the road she just had to have a shot with it. All I had with me besides my 24" softbox which I had been using was a spare flash which I tossed to her friend and said "point this at her head like you're going to shoot her". I fired off two shots and this is what the young lady wanted. I guess you never know what to expect sometimes.

Like it. sometime those OH oH OH moments are the best shots. My only nit pick is never shoot a girl straight on like this. I use this pose all the time and shoot subject off camera axis

example

I love the black and white one, looks almost like it was taken with an IR modified camera.

Care to share the bw conversion secrets?

This one was with silver efex, Not sure of the preset, but did some cranking around in there after. I really like the variety of starting options it gives you and the opportunity to fine tune until it pops. Needed to get those eyelashes popping!

For those of you that use a ring flash....

which one do you use and why do you use that one?

Im seriously considering getting one now

I photographed my first male senior last week. It's hard to pick favorites.

Well, this image rocks!

Thanks, Shane, glad you like it.

My 500w ringlight arrived today! I was using myself as a test subject *unsucessfully* and i noticed the lamp is very very bright, is there any tricks to help a client not get blinded by it during a session?

My latest senior - Miss Torrey. All shot with natural light (no reflectors or strobes) and my 200L and 85L prime lenses.

1 Torrey made this headdress herself and was so excited to incorporate it in her senior pics. I think she did a fabulous job!

Followed you on IG and love seeing your senior portraits. You make the open desert look great.
