Senior Photos

My brother will KILL ME if he finds these online, so let's pray he doesn't google my name, shall we? He won't let "professional" photographers anywhere near him, so I took his senior picture for his yearbook. They had to be black and white for the yearbook, so I worked them up that way. I really like the way they turned out, especially the horizontals.




And this last image is an example of something I had to deal with often while shooting him. Most of the photos I took were him making very... un-Senior Photo-like faces! To get him to smile naturally I cracked a lot of jokes, which is actually a technique I've started using when shooting other people, too. It works really well once you figure out the right kind of joke for the person you're shooting.
