He wanted more Non-Traditional Shots, so in alot of them his face is not centered or the main focus.Zack134-1.jpg
I Would Love To Know What You Think Positive or Negative. Thanks for looking

    There'ss nothing wrong with that kind of shoot.

    The last one is quite okay but about all photos, I'd suggest you not to put your subject that close to the image's borders, for sometimes you cut some of the foot, etc.
    have a quick look at my portfolio (there's a photolog, too) :: (11-07-2006) experiencing a new flash portfolio. What do you think?

    You should've had him remove the bright wrist bands! (though maybe they mean something about his summer or something, so I guess maybe you could just ask him about them).

    I like the last one best.

    Thanks
    Thanks. About the Feet and Stuff, I totally agree. I am going out again soon to do some night shots, so I will make sure I do a better job at that.

    And the bracelets, I would agree if it wasn't Zach. He is my friend and I don't remember ever seeing him with some kind bracelets on.

    I really like these photos. They seem to say "this is me" which is exactly what a lot of seniors want. My daughter is a senior this year and we are thinking of taking her senior pictures ourselves - except for the portrait headshot. I might have to have a real pro do that one! I will show her Zach's pictures and I'll betcha she will love them!

    i like his wristbands, gives the photo more of a story, for him especially.. it doesnt seem like he totally relaxed in these photos though.. im all for the non-traditional senior photos.. anyway i like most of the crops, gives it something else... cause otherwise you're gonna have traditional shots, which are not very interesting..

    Thanks alot, he actually did whatever poses felt comfortable to him, I did not place him in any positions besides telling him were the lighting was good. Then he did whatever he wanted from there.

    Indeed, his pose is pretty ok, but there is one big problem: he has no hands OMG! eek7.gif:D

    Hi, Justin
    Great Photos!
    I like #3 and #5 the best.
    I agree with Cantfeelmyfingers.
    He is wearing the wristbands for a reason.

    Let us know what prints he decided to buy and that will show
    what he liked the best.
    I was thinking about running a ad in the local paper for Senior Photos.
    Looks like it could be fun to see how they trun out.
    If, you don't mind me asking what type of photo package did
    you offer to him?
    (example)
    1)setting fee.
    2)No setting fee.
    3)you do all the printing.
    4)you burn the photos to CD and he prints what he wants where he wants.
