Kelly's Senior Portrait Session


Kelly's Senior Portrait Session
Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo

I've been wanting to shoot high school senior portraits for a while now and I'm very grateful that Kelly was up for a photo shoot. On location with me was my principal photographer , Heather, and make up artist, Kristen.

Kelly is an amazing golfer and right nearby the golf course was a very cool area with old buildings and open fields of grass. We also found a white chair just sitting in the middle of the field. It never ceases to amaze me how props and locations are provided for our use, just because we think about how we want it..and it magically appears!

Julie is extremely talented and she teaches yoga as well. We talked about the concept of how yoga is relaxing and that one can ignore the distractions of sight and sound in the environment. We thought it would be cool to have Julie do some poses in an urban environment full of industrial sights and sounds.

Strobist lighting details. Nikon D300, ISO 200, 1/250 sec, f/9.5. Fill flash from camera right, SB-800 with snoot 1/4 power, held by Heather.
