p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Senior Portraits from the Fall


Congratulations to friscoron for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 4 votes - View Previous Winners


One of my favorite senior portrait sessions this fall. Since she's a dancer, naturally we had to include a split leap.

Comments always welcome.

Really beautiful shots. I would definitely strive to achieve this quality for any senior shoot I attempted. Do you mind me asking which lenses you used?

In the spirit of friendly critique/comments:

In image 4 I like the leaves on the road, but a couple of spots from the debris on the road are particularly dark and I would have removed them in post.
In image 5 I might consider removing the rock on the left side of the frame, because to me it's competing with the model for my attention. There are also some sticks protruding from the ground to the right of that same rock, and to me they disturb an otherwise smooth composition. I might also remove the white line coming out of her leg (camera right).

Regardless of my opinions, I still think these are beautiful shots. My suggestions are only what I personally would do to polish what are already great photos.

Thanks, Daniel! Most of these are shot with my Nikon Z9 and 70-200mm lens, usually shooting at 200mm. I carry a 24-70 with me as well for these shoots. I don't think I used the 24-70 on any of these.

Image 4 doesn't really bother me, but your comments on Image 5 cracks me up. I have a studio coordinator and an editor here at the studio with me, and my editor does most of my editing. I remember seeing this pic and the first thing I thought was to remove the two rocks, then I would have noticed the sticks and removed those as well. So often, I'll bring an image up and ask my editor: What would I remove from this pic, and on this one, it would be obvious. I'm actually really surprised she didn't remove it on her own.

Thanks again!
Ron

Love the soft tones in these! And the bokeh is lovely as well, as is the model.

Some nice shots. A few some processing is too much or not natural.

Thanks, Bobby. I had her in really good light. When you do that, there is very little post-processing needed. Plus, she didn't really have any complexion (zits) that I had to edit out. So actually little facial editing, or any other editing, was done here.

Thanks so much, Bob! She was just an easy, lovely senior to photograph, made it so easy for me. And No. 2 is my fave as well, tho... geesh, I think I loved every pic I took of her.
