Shooting Range – if your senior is into archery or shooting, getting permission to shoot photos of them at the range would be a fun and unique experience.If you're looking for a lifestyle vibe for your shoot, this could be a great opportunity. Just think about all the different settings you can have within one location. Furniture Store – I think this is an amazing idea, and one I want to try.Of course, keep in mind that you may get jostled, nudged, or even pushed if it's a really high traffic area. Standing still in a moving crowd – if you live in an area with heavy foot traffic, this might be fun to do.In my area, the mountain biking trails run through an old mining area with beautiful red dirt and incredible views. Whether your subject is into it or not, going to a location where mountain biking is done is can provide some new and interesting backdrops. Biking – mountain biking is a huge activity in many places around the world.I've seen some amazing work this year with clients in the water, and I've got some ideas brewing for next year.
Or perhaps you shoot your client IN the water. Get a responsible adult to take you out on a boat and capture them in their element.
Each client is unique, and one of benefits of being a portrait photographer is getting to infuse their personality into their senior photo experience. We photographed her among the books in her favorite bookstore, as well as writing in her journal with a cup of hot chocolate at the coffee shop. One of my seniors this year is a writer, book lover, and just happens to work in a coffee shop. Hopefully this list will spark some ideas to try something new, and get your creative juices flowing. Meeting with most seniors ahead of time will help you get session ideas, but once in a while you need a little inspiration to draw from. If their session is tailored to them, the “different” factor won't come up as often. Making sessions personal will help reduce the need for trying to find something different than everyone else has done. Or perhaps you've got a girl who lives for being on the water, wakesurfing and paddleboarding see if she wants to do a few photos on the water while she's doing her “thing”. Say you find out that your client has dreams of learning to fly perhaps you can work with a small airplane owner who will let you take photos in front of their plane at the airport or in the hangar. You might be surprised by what you find out during this meeting that can help give you ideas on how and where to approach their session. Perhaps you're already doing this, but if you're not, it's a really good way to find out a little bit more about your client – what he or she is into, what they do for fun, what they want to do after high school, etc. Today I'm going to provide a few location ideas for unique and different senior portraits, as well as a few bonus tips for making the same old locations feel new again.īefore we get started though, I would highly recommend doing a pre-session consultation with your seniors. Photographers are struggling to find new locations to take their seniors…or perhaps they are just struggling to find new ways to photograph their seniors in the same old locations. And you're thinking, ok…different how, different than what? I follow a lot of senior groups and boards online, and have been noticing this as a common theme lately. They say, “I don't know, but I want something “different”. So, you're having a pre-session consultation with a high school senior client, and you ask if they have any locations or ideas in mind for their senior session. Shooting at an amusement park doesn't have to be about going on rides and eating snow cones.
