As you know, I always want to bring something new to the table for my senior photography. My latest addition is custom colored and styled backgrounds to coordinate with your clothing. Senior pictures should be unique to the student. Being able to custom design a background gives us unlimited options for a perfect look. The portrait background should always be in harmony with the senior’s outfit in terms of color and brightness. That way the viewer’s attention stays on the senior’s face and eyes. A background should not compete with the subject. Our senior portrait clients can have input into the design. They can even bring original art work of their own that I can incorporate into the design of their senior photographs. Even a cool signature by the senior and added into the image can make the photograph different. At www.TrulySeniors.com we love to make each client feel special by creating something unique for them.
This is what I’m all about. I love to go away from the studio to create portraits that no one else has. Location photography is the most complex because I have to find the right light, the best setting and hope that there are not unknown factors that pop in to cause issues. I’ve been shooting on location in the Richmond, Virginia area for years and I have the ability to find or create beautiful light. I am always excited to go out and have new adventures with my clients.
I’m always thinking of a new way to photograph a senior. I love to give each person something entirely new. This is a photo of the reflection of a senior in my big mirror.
Beautiful art styles are timeless. I was inspired by the Mona Lisa for this piece. The background was hand painted by one of my favorite background artists.
Senior season is almost here. Senior portraits are a creative outlet. I usually don’t have to chase them around like toddlers and they do what I say. I am using model/marketing assistants this year for the first time. I have gotten to know some some really good kids and together we have made some very cool images.
I enjoy the creative process after the portrait session just as much as the photography. Taking something and making something entirely new out of it is a challenge. Have you tried to excercise your creative mind lately? Creativity is like a muscle, if you don’t use it, it gets flabby.
These are my latest models from the Class of 2011. I am really excited to have such great girls representing the studio! I am currently looking for models who are high school Juniors. If you know one who would enjoy being photographed please let me know. 423-9700
