p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Senior Photos for my Daughter


Hobby photographer and made an attempt at my daughter's senior photos over the past 2 weeks (Homecoming being the first). My wife, daughter and I had a blast doing these - the leaf blower was truly entertaining to use. In most cases, I used an Alien Bee + 2 speedlights and a ring light for the closeups. C&C welcome - especially on the last photo where both my wife and I have mixed feelings about it....

5 through 9 are nice photos. 9 may be a little over the top for a senior photo. The first 4 photos do not do anything for me. I don't like the perspective in 2. 3 has obvious photoshopping which I would think might embarrass a highschooler who either should not need photoshopping, or if she does, it has to be done so no one can tell. Ring lights in eyes are just distracting in my view. 4 looks like a behind the scenes photo and looks unfinished to me. In 1 she has a sad expression and I can't really see her eyes. Hair is too wild too.

I actually love the ring light, they are very popular with seniors. Which light do you have?

I also enjoy the catch light in the eyes. I took several of her friends and they really liked it. I also used a backlight to separate the hair from the black muslin, Here's the link to the ring light.

I really like the idea in #1, but without a bright smiling facial to go with it( like the other shots), it doesn't work for me.

#2 Three things I see wrong with this one. We only see slivers of the left arm. (She should turn more toward the camera). She's looking the wrong way. Why is she looking over there? The third thing is more of a minor nit. Compose for an even background, like what's to the right of her. The background left of her is the kind you don't want. It's nondescript but still 'busy' and can distract from the model.

#3. Nice necklace, but it's partially cropped. Have you ever looked into a girls eyes and seen round white circles? Those circles from the ring flash are very noticeable. Some will like that look, but others will focus on the unnatural catchlights instead of the beauty of the model. There is shine on the nose, forehead and cheeks.

#4 I want to like this one. I like the energy of the pose and the clean black background. What spoils it for me is the black thing in front of her.

#5 and onward - very well done.

The only one of the bunch that I wasn't thrilled with was the first one....a bit too cheesy for me. But I think it is a matter of taste.

Last one is fine by me....there is nothing inappropriate in the photo itself....if the car has meaning to her in some way, then it is a keeper.
