Fashion-Senior Portrait

This post is about other of my favorite high school senior photoshoots done in studio this season. Other was published last month; multi-location senior portrait.

This session was for a young man, Emmanuel. He is a very enthusiastic senior and willing to follow directions during the session. We tried good variety of looks and some props. All photo-session was planned for a fashion style.

First we went for a casual winter look (blue jeans and yellow jacket) with an editorial touch in the post-process of the picture.

 

Then we went for elegant vintage look, using as prop my Argus seventy-five camera.

 

We went through other 3 looks, from elegant, to country look, and back to casual, like the next picture, blue jeans and yellow polo shirt, plus the touch of glasses and scarf.

We had a lot of fun in the session!

Thanks to Emmanuel and his family for the opportunity of work with him.

Senior Portrait in multiple locations of Ann Arbor

Starting this fall, I had the opportunity of have a multiple photographic  sessions, to make senior portraits of Mercedes. She is a senior in Pioneer High School of Ann Arbor, MI. It was very fun to work with her.

First, we had a studio session. We did pictures with different outfits; we tried some classic formal poses. Also, we tried some very fun and informal poses, jumping spinning, playing with expressions and hands like this:

Second, because she is a great racquetball player (US junior team) we went to a racquetball court in Ann Arbor. We got some very good action and editorial shoots there.

Finally, we went to one of my favorite parks in Ann Arbor. There we made some very sweet shoots. In that session she brought and played her guitar.

Thank you Mercedes, and your parents, for allowing me to make your senior portraits.

Here is a small animation with more of the picture we got. It was made in Animoto.

Pinup portrait at Yankee Air Museum

This month, I had the opportunity of participated on a meetup of the Flickr group: Strobist A2/DT, in which I have been member for more that two years. It was in the Yankee Air Museum at Grosse Ile Airfield, MI. We had access to few airplanes to make portrait in the interior of some of them or exterior of almost all. It was a small group of photographers and models. Because restrictions in the number of people that could have access to the hangar, and for the cool – windy day.

I shoot only with few models, Connie Nieves was one of them (MM# 177990). Connie is a model specialized in pinup and vintage photography, with a great wardrobe.  Here are two pictures of her from that day.

These two pictures where done using 50 mm f1.8 canon lens and a medium soft box. All post-process was done in Lightroom 3 only.

Special thanks to Alex Minkin, great photographer and friend. Who is the founder and administrator of the flickr group: Strobist A2/DT; for organizing this event and for let  me used some of his equipment.
