The more senior picture sessions I do the more I think its really not about posing, its about observing how someone moves naturally and then asking them to do that or perhaps exaggerate that. Its about trying to learn a little about personality and find out what makes a person tick. I'm sure we won't get it perfectly right, but its the goal to work towards because in that approach we won't just get a picture of what someone looks like on the surface, or what interests them because of a prop that is just in the frame, we'll find photos of the senior engaged in the moment or with the tool they use to perform one or more of their passions. If we begin to touch upon that, then we're really making something beyond just a likeness, we're documenting a little bit about this time in their life. Pretty cool.
