Black Senior
Senior Portrait Photography in Today’s World
Artistic and expressive describe the Senior Portraits of today.
From a senior’s point of view … this is one of the super-important portraits of their lives. And they want it to express WHO they are, not just a headshot in front of a white/black background. They want their “sparkle” to show through. They want the “WOW” factor that makes them look like a million bucks.
The quality and selection of backdrops in the studios are astounding. They are crisp and colorful and meet the demands of some seniors… but many do not express the “sparkle” of others.
The demand for out-of-the-box senior portraits has increased. And the senior photographers are delivering sophisticated model portfolio portraits to those demanding seniors.
By adding a little creativity and fun to the traditional senior shots, the super-important portrait becomes a keepsake for life.
What makes these portraits creative? Listening to the senior describe their favorites i.e. music, cars, athletics or any hobby that expresses who they are. The “it” that adds sparkle to the eye. Then incorporate these items into the portrait by following these three crucial rules:
Location: The studio, the park or the raceway – wherever the senior is most comfortable and relaxed. The goal is avoid the staged POSE and create a natural POSE.
Clothing: From formal gown to genes and a sweatshirt – whatever expresses the true person. Beware – the wrong clothing or colors can add pounds to the picture.
Lighting: The correct lighting will highlight the face as well as the hair.
The goal of the senior portrait is to hear, “WOW, you look like a million bucks, as if you are ready to step out of the picture and talk to me!”
