Seniorzrock photography is gearing up for a great fall senior portrait season. We’ve booked more senior sessions this fall than we had in all of 2009.   Today I got a great compliment through an email inquiry.  The mother of a graduating senior said, “We’ve been looking everywhere for a ‘NOT SO ORDINARY’ photographer . . .”

There is still time for you to get your senior portraits. We’ll get the ball rolling on some “rockin” senior portraits! Send us an email at info(at)seniorzrock dot com.

Below are a few pics from Camie’s senior portrait storybook that went to print this week . . .

Your senior year in High School is a milestone in life.  That is the reason you need it recorded with professional portraits.  Senior portraits don’t have to look like all your classmates senior pictures taken by the school photographer.  Your senior portraits can be a fun, individual experience that expresses your style and who you are.  At Seniorzrock Photography we give you choices.  We also try hard to make your senior portrait experience fun!  If you want senior portraits that bring out the best in you give hit up our website (www.seniorzrock.com) and contact us to set up your senior portrait session this summer!

This is the first in a series of promotional pieces for my senior photography business (www.seniorzrock.com).  If you live in Gaston County, I’m looking for senior representatives from the class of 2011 from all of our High Schools.  If you have a senior in the class of 2011 or know of a one please let them know about our services!

This week’s photography assignment was to take two pictures of the same subject:  1. A bird’s eye view and 2. A bug’s eye view.  The point of this assignment is to get the photographer to explore different perspectives to make their photographs more interesting.    This week I’ve included my 11 yr. old son’s pictures along with mine.   He has been assisting me on photo shoots since he was 9, but he’s taking the class with his peers.  I thought it was interesting that Daniel (accidentally) included a little bird poo in his bird’s eye view photo!  Enjoy . . .

I’m late getting this past week’s photo assignment posted because the files were on Amy’s computer and I just transferred them today.  The assignment I gave my students this week was “fill the frame.”  Another way to say it would be “get in close.”  What I’m trying to get them to see is that too many times we just center our subject and they are often so tiny that they get lost in the frame.  As always, I go out and do the assignment myself each week.  The first shot (Sundrop Logo) was what came to my mind as I gave the assignment.  After I took that shot (and others) I realized it’s harder to completely fill the frame than I had first thought.  I continued to a local graveyard and was successful in getting my subject to fill the frame.

For this coming week I gave my student two assignments.  The could choose which one they wanted to do, but for each of the two assignments they have to submit two pictures.   For any who want to “play along” the assignments were 1. Take two shots of the same subject illustrating blurred action and stopped action.  2.  Take two shots of the same subject illustrating a “bird’s eye” view and a “bugs eye” view.  Let me know if you “play along.”

I’m trying to get better at blogging and keeping up-to-date on my Facebook fan pages.  I just uploaded a few pictures to the Seniorzrock fan page from T. Brack’s senior portrait session.  I’m still booking sessions for the class of 2010 and recruiting models for our Seniorzrock spokesmodel program.  Details are on the Seniorzrock website.  See more of T’s photos on the Facebook fan page.

This past week I taught my students about “leading lines” in photographic composition.  There assignment this week was to photograph leading lines  of any type.  My promise to my students is that I will not go back through my files and pick out a photo that fits the assignment.   I went out yesterday with a couple of our children and in just a few minutes captured my shots.  For me, this was my favorite assignment so far.  Next week’s assignment – “fill the frame”.
