High School Senior Photos

This location worked well because we had the desert landscape and also a pavilion to work under.  I like exploring new places and this Senior guy was comfortable and easy going with trying different poses.  His mom called the close up of him looking seriously at the camera, his “Rico Suave” face!  I try to get a serious expression with each Senior I photograph, because the eyes are more open and you can see texture in their lips.  His eye color shows up more, blue with a little bit of tan around the middle.  I like the color portraits, but the black and white are my favorites!  The bright sunny morning gave these portraits lots of contract, which makes for great black and white photos.
