I had a chance recently to do a senior portrait session. I am hoping to do more in the future and eventually have a gallery on my main site of senior portraits. As always with my photography, on location lighting is very important to me. I look at a lot of outdoor portraits that only use available light, with perhaps some bounce reflectors, and while they look nice, evenly lit, have a nice soft lighting touch, my style as a photographer is to use the available light and enhance it with my own lights. It is amazing what a bit of extra light can add to a photograph. It is all about balance. Balance between the “available” light and the light added by the photographer.

I wanted to go with a look that was a little different from a lot of senior portraits. The lighting is definitely more dramatic and interesting. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out and so what this young man. That is the important part.
