This 2017 Senior picture session was inspired by football and downtown Bakersfield. This handsome senior had too many amazing images to share them all. So i picked out a few of my own personal favorites to share with you here on the blog.
These two stunning black and white football shots (top photos) might be some of my all time favorite images! He had his game face down. The high contrast and side lighting helps to create depth and dimension and makes for some eye popping photographs. These football photos where a different and fun opportunity to try something new and completely different from my usual work. I definitely plan to do more.
After a few snaps in the studio we took this senior session out to downtown Bakersfield for some of the great looking brick, architecture and columns downtown has to offer. This architecture adds a lot of texture to an image. Trying to keep things fun and interesting we moved around a lot on location. Using the benches, stairs, light post and just about anything else I could to get some fun and different images for his gallery. I tried to keep his session relaxed and fun.
Another one of my favorites from this gallery was this candid of him on the sidewalk looking off into the distance, not to be out done by the one of him leaning against the light post in the blue button down. So many great photos! I’m trying to resist adding his full gallery to the blog.
I’m sure he is more at home on a football field than he is in front of a camera, but he rocked his session and took home a ton of great photos to celebrate this point in his life. He has a great future ahead of him. Congrats Grad and good luck!!!!
