The calls, emails, facebook messages and the 'hey you--do you do senior pictures?' questions in passing are coming in. I've had conversations about what we do and how we do it...and of course...how much. We really want to make the best photographs possible each time, and we don't want to make the same picture over and over again, so we often suggest locations, but ultimately want to go where people like to go themselves to have their pictures done. So we ask and if the person doesn't care, we find something through conversation that fits. We like to ask--are you more country or hip hop? Are you rock and roll or punk? Rap or hipster? This gives me some clues. We love to combine formal with street, leather with country barns---opposites to see where we can take an idea. Think some of the best shots are when we combine say a soccer ball with a shirt and tie against a graffiti background or a Tux with a football under arm taken on a sidewalk. These combinations are both formal and show into the character of a person beyond the one-dimensional view of an athlete or a scholar only. We are much more complex than this.
