Follow up post to my "First Time Senior Portraits" session.

I have a lot to choose from here are just a selection that I like.

All minimally edited for now.

The more I use my 70-200mm, the more I fall in love with the 200mm length.

How do you control the hair?! Frizzy hair. Have them bring a brush?

Backlit portraits outdoors always invites the problem of blown out flyaway hair. In my experience, there's not much you can do that a senior girl will be willing to do (e.g. hairspray or a brush). You can always select individual hairs that are particularly hot and clone them out. Large areas of backlit hair, as in your fourth image, are pretty much a lost cause. What you don't want to do is try to get rid of all of them; that never looks natural. The good news is that (at least I'm told) cloning out stray hairs in outdoor portraits like these is becoming less and less desirable. Again, I might look for those that are particularly distracting, and easily cloned, and get rid of them.

One other strategy is to avoid them altogether by careful selection of background elements. A bright area immediately behind the head will minimize the distracting hair, while a dark patch will "highlight" it. You can see the differences in your own images above.

Frizzy hair can be controlled using hair spray. Spray a little on a brush and brush it through the hair. Do not spray it directly on the hair, it will make it stiff and plastered looking.
