Photographing seniors can present unique challenges as well as providing unique opportunities. Young people can be nervous and very self conscious but, if you can bring them out of themselves they can have a vivacity and poise which can lead to some truly wonderful images. I try to make my senior portraits rather more interesting than other photographers might go for. I also try to tailor them to suit the personality of the subject and so if possible, I like to meet with the senior before the shoot date to talk through what they enjoy and what their interests are so that the results of the shoot can be truly personal.
