I've been photographing a lot of Tampa Bay Seniors lately for my
Senior Model Program. Each model was photographed in a different location and using slightly different styles. Let's start off with Justine:
Justine is from Northeast High School. We chose downtown St. Petersburg for her session because she thinks of herself as both a city girl and a country girl. Downtown St. Pete offers a little of both!
I started off in a favorite alley. All photographers love a good alley! It's always funny the way people will look at you when you are in some dirty back alley taking pictures. I used off-camera lighting the entire day (I'm addicted to off-camera light). This particular image was de-saturated a bit and curves-adjusted to maximize the contrast. Justine really looks older in this one.
As much as I love a well-dressed model, the truth is that my personal taste runs more toward the ripped-jeans look. Justine was perfect with ripped jeans and a simple white tank.
I love hats. It's no coincedence that my own head shot has me wearing a hat. Justine brought along a beat-up old cowboy hat which was the perfect accent for her session.
Of course, it's nice to dress up too!
She was a real treat to photograph, very outgoing and fun. We really got some great pictures that day!
I create a custom collage for each senior that I photograph. This makes it easier to give 8x10's as gifts to the family while still showcasing several images from your session.
