Okay, we’re up and running on the seniors, and we’ve done all the formal things that are so important.
Now we need the cap and gown shot. Now look what we’ve done basic pose head and body to the light. She’s holding the diploma with hand on the top and hand on the bottom. Tip of the head this way I’m going to have her look into the lens of the camera. Turn your face to me a little bit. Look right over here, good right there. Let me look back on my tripod and we’ll take the portrait it will be a full face basic pose. Look at right there.
Hey, you graduated as big I remember when I was a senior it was the best time of my life. I’m going to go ahead and kick your elbows out a little bit. Yes, right there. That’s great.
Now one of the reasons we have this looking so good to have a smile, teeth come on yes. You notice to the left that’s a little bit to the left a little bit, right there. A little more right there I love that. It’s a little cross between a full face and two-thirds with their eyes in the camera. It works beautifully. Now I’ve done this picture with a bookshelf background. I’ve done with a lot of different studio type backgrounds this is my favorite one. Tip your head to the right a little bit more, right there, here we go just like that. And I like it, but I want a little more expression little happier, come on yes, yes, yes. Right there, I love it. Tip your head to the right a little bit more. Good, so that’s our first steady.
Let’s go forward. Let’s look at the portrait. It’s really put together really nice. The lighting patterns consistent, head and body to the line and now we’re going to put the diploma in her hands. With the diploma the whole idea is jut to make it look natural. Let me see this hand, loosen it up and just like that. You know, it just like you and hold it yourself. No over pose it. This top hand looks kind of like stiff we want to soften it up and just kind of bring the fingers, kind of like hide the hands. I’ve learned about hands never show the back of hands always show the sides of the hands, so I’m probably just kind of turn it like that a little. And I want the diploma quite. I want this to be a picture of Julie. Forget the diploma, it’s fairly important that’s what she is coming to get, but the picture is right there.
So now we’ve got the diploma in place, full face and two-thirds, and I think you’re going to smile for all these Julie. Yes, also turn your face to me in full face. Come on, come on right there. That’s full face, but again look at the ears now turn your face this way. Tip of your head this way and look just so much more flatter and in that little technique right there is worth the price of this tape all together just the way we flatter that picture. Pull the light and add a little bit and just let your eyes look right over there. Good, good, good and smile, and then tip in my camera to my right just a little bit, chin up a dash. I love it, I love it, and I love it.
Then we just carefully place the hat. And we have one look at the camera and one looking. Now, again guys this light is on our left for always pictures. It could be on our right depending on hair style or depending on facial analysis or for variety. Chin up a dash right there. Tip your head to the right a little curve right there. Love its smiling teeth, yes and again, now pull the light around little Adam and turn your nose this way and look straight ahead. Tip the top of your head to right, chin up a dash. You made it. You made it. Shadows a little long and bring it to me a dash right there. Feather it over to the reflector, teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, yes.
Okay, so what’s fun to notice guys is that it’s consistent. Once we get that series of portraits full face and two-thirds and the basic pose we use them over and over and over and over, and you’re done. Come on away.
