Why graduation photos?
Photography is the perfect medium for broadcasting humanism in the modern age due to its ability to convey joy and confidence by highlighting your best attributes and accomplishments. Graduation happens to be the perfect time for all that. Also, we're not getting any younger, are we? So lets get a time down to celebrate you now.
How do you approach a shoot?
I look for quality light before all else because no image is worthwhile without light. I am also not afraid to utilize artificial lighting when the opportunity arrises. Artificial lighting helps me find balanced exposures even in harsh lighting conditions. While editing, I prefer emphasizing the existing ambiance along with a warmer tint, which happens to allow for more natural skin tones to shine through.
What goes into a session?
Aside from 6 years of learning & thousands of $$$ worth of equipment, I guide students through poses, prepare a shot list, source props, and adapt it on the go when the scene is overrun with pedestrians. After each session, 2-3 hours of culling, editing and processing with industry standard AI-powered software is delegated towards each hour of shooting. Regardless of the session type, high resolution images are emailed back in a gallery in 5-10 days, available for print and download 60 days following.
