Senior Pictures Poses

Senior Pictures Poses

paramount that you know something about your senior before you attempt to photograph them. Does he play football? Soccer? Is she a cheerleader? A band member? What activities are they involved in away from school? Hunting? Fishing? Rodeo? Is he/she quiet and shy, or really outgoing? Knowing these things will enable you to better capture the essence of your subject. I fully expect that when faced with photographing someone who I am meeting for the first time that the first ten or fifteen minutes of shooting will be a loss. It usually takes this much time for my subjects to relax and settle in with the camera. It is important to remember that most of us are uncomfortable being photographed. This is why it is important to try to integrate hobbies and activities that are important to your subject. If they are in their element, they will be more comfortable.I have noticed that males and females have different expectations of their senior portraits. The guys are usually totally reliant on you, the photographer, to get the job done. Most would rather not have their portrait taken, but feel obligated to do so for their parents. They want it to be over, and soon. On the flip side, they are usually super compliant and open to suggestions for posing.
