Photographing senior portraits isn't as easy as I thought. Alena, my friend and first paying customer, wanted my style of photography, which isn't typically difficult to provide, but she also wanted the standard graduation photos that everyone loves with it. Add a time crunch and you got an overwhelmed Ryan.
I really want to learn how to meet my style with customer's demands. Since most photographers have to be freelancers now, it will be territory I have to cross for most of working life. In this case, I think I did it moderately well. You get the mixture of the stereotypical landscapes for UNC grad photos, but all the emotions are true, and I feel each has a twist. I also placed Alena in swings and on a sloping hill for a variety of scenery one typically doesn't find. They were my favorites, especially the one with the gazebo background. Unfortunately, at the same time, I feel they could be quite typical still.
What are your thoughts?
