I Love Learning
It’s September and for many that means the return to school. Many will hear new and interesting things.
I love learning and in photography I feel like I’m constantly learning. I’m constantly discovering new techniques and new people with new ideas. I always try to get people to give me their thoughts on where and how they’d like their portraits. It not only helps me become aware of new ideas but it helps to create that one of a kind, originality in each person’s portrait package. That little something that no one else will have and that little something that says “you”. Remember, your portraits are about “YOU” not the photographer taking your pictures.
Also, just a note, there’s still plenty of time for your Class of 2009 senior portraits. Not everyone has their senior portraits done in the summer before they start back to school. Many people like to wait for the colorful fall leaves or even the winter snow.
Great post! I love the pictures, but love your description about what a photo shoot should be about. Creating once in a lifetime memories for the client. I think getting them involved is key to making these photos mean something 20 years down the road. ;o)
Julie said it well. I liked what you wrote as well!
The portraits came out really well. I gravitated towards commenting on this post because I love portrait photography and I love shot up in the tree! Fun!!
Thanks. The shot up in the tree was the client’s idea, I was just following along trying to capture him.
