Behind the Scenes of a Perfect Senior Session: Dominik’s Story
Ever wonder how to capture the personality of a not-so-chatty senior during a photo session? It's not always about pulling out a megaphone and demanding smiles. Let's take a little dive into a recent session I had with a senior who preferred the quiet vibe. Spoiler: It involved an arcade and some unexpected looks!
Capturing genuine moments can be a challenge, especially when your subject isn't the outgoing type. It's all about creating a space where they feel comfortable enough to express themselves. My belief? Let the kids have fun and express who they are. That's how you get the real deal.
In a recent session, our setting was an arcade in St Joseph. Now, he wasn't the over the top type, but something about just letting him chill and be present. There we got to see a side of him that perfectly captured his unique personality.
Let Them Chill
Personable Approach: It's about making them feel relaxed. Chat about things they love and let them ease into the session at their own pace.
Incorporate Interests: Find out their hobbies. For this senior, video games were the key! Shoot in locations they connect with to highlight who they are, not just what they do.
Go Easy on the Posin': Forget those "over-the-time vogue tutorials." It's about genuine moments. Encourage natural poses by creating environments where they feel at ease.
Why does this matter? Because those real, unposed moments are the ones that create lasting memories. It's not just about the photos themselves - it's about capturing the essence of who they are right now. So, if you're planning a session, relax and let their true colors shine.
