Six Things Guys Need to Know for Senior Pictures
When guys think about getting their senior portrait taken, they often think it is going to be painful! You know, Mom wants you to wear clothes you would never wear and the location is typically in an old fashion studio! Guess what, it doesn’t have to be like that! Blue Sky’s Studio session’s can include anywhere you hang out, like an old warehouse, a skate park, the beach an urban area… the list is endless! Here are a few tips to help make your senior pictures turn out easy, fun and looking awesome:
- Wear what you like. You know you’re going to need to wear that outfit mom picked out at some point. So go ahead and do it for mom, but also bring several other oufits that you like the most. Your favorite band t-shirts, that jacket that fits you just right, jerseys, hoodies and even hats can make for great personality shots.
- A little color is good, but avoid being overly tan or sunburned. It is harder to color-correct and process, which will add to your cost.
- Don’t hesitate to bring some of your favorite hobby props. A bike, guitar, skateboard, etc. can be a great way to show your personality.
- If we’re shooting outdoors for a part of your session make sure to bring a friend or parent–it’s good to have someone to help.
- Make sure you get a good night’s sleep the night before, so you look your best.
- Bring links, screenshots or pictures of looks that you like–the kind of shots you want to have. To see some ideas for guys poses and wardrobe check out my Pinterest board: High School Senior Guy Inspiration
