a couple examples of outstanding high school senior photos, one of the specialty photography genres, others are sport, wedding, etc. These are NOT easy to be good at, and Michael Switzer demonstrates through these examples how to get it right

 


if you recall the majority of senior class photos are the one arm and head in the photo, elbow bent to bring the hand with the class ring to the face, slight smile directed off camera... typical, but boring. 

These are very cool instead, the color scheme of each is well done. That school bus photo is really cool because it's anchoring the moment in a school setting of time and place, but one no one else thought to use, while making it the background, and minor part while the student is the focus and majority of the photo. Damn hard to get the school bus yellow to not overpower the photo too. Great time lapse on the Mustang photo to get the bypassing brake light to stream through

  1. I have noticed that senior pictures are a lot more creative now than when I was in school. Back then, everyone went to the photographer's studio for the standard poses, and maybe took a couple of shots with their car outside, if they drove something interesting.

    Now with more available quality cameras, photographers are taking senior pictures in very interesting locations and with different cars or equipment in the backgrounds. It's nice to see the variety.
