Locations are important for Portrait Photographers, more so because I do lots of High School Senior Portraits.
My Senior Portrait Clients love to go on location. It is especially a great challenge to go to a familiar location and make it look completely different. Problem solving is fun! Not everything can be planned out in advance, and I like that! Every year is fun because I have gotten to go to some totally new places. Here are some of my favorite Upstate NY Location Senior Portraits:
The Automobile Museum–awesome!I have been here with wedding clients a lot. I don’t usually get to bring a High School kid here–and we did some high fashion shots as a bonus.I have been here many times, but never photographed this particular location at this time of day. This was a challenge because the client wanted this particular background, and this time of day is not easy! We actually needed to use a subractive lighting technique to do this because the sun was so bright, we did not want him squinting and the background could not be blown out.It was raining and we were supposed to go on location. We used my porch instead. Hey, it happens. We ended going on location the next day, but I really like this one!Side of the road–light was great.Another pull over on the side of the road moment. LOL.I had driven by this location several times and finally got to use it. Love the textures.Same wall, different time of day. Looks completely different.This is a popular spot in town, but I love how the dress complimented the location.This spot is off the beaten path and often overlooked. It is also only available at certain times of the day.Our downtown park is a popular spot–the challenge is finding different spots.
