Josh (my brother) is a senior in high school this year. My mom and dad did not want to pay a professional photographer to take his senior pictures. So they asked me to take his pictures. I wanted to capture Josh’s personality through these pictures. But getting him to give you a good smile in front of a camera is a trick. Even though his smile is what we see most when we are together as a family. He is the family jokester.
Not only was it hard to get him to smile but it was hard to get the lighting correct. The only times that worked for him were in the middle of the day. So it was hard to accomplish the right lighting conditions. Thankfully there is a heavily shaded park just down the road from our house that ended up being perfect.
For this shot I had access to 2 cannon speed lights and an off camera flash trigger. I used one of the flashes to add a slight hair light behind him. I used the second flash to light the left side of the frame to give some contrast on his face. We also decide that his tennis outfit fit his personality best so that’s why the sports cloths. I hope that these tips are helpful. Thanks for reading
