As much as I love photographing young children, sometimes it is refreshing to do a shoot during which I don’t have to sing toddler songs, make monkey sounds (don’t ask!), find fictitious animals in trees or discuss Dora. This shoot was made to order.
Shea approached me to take entertainment industry headshots for her and some friends, all of them seniors at the College of Idaho and majoring in Theatre. A vibrant group of young people, actors who would certainly not need much directing from me…Easy!
The catch: there were thirteen of them! And we only had two hours! This is how long a senior shoot normally takes me – with ONE Senior. Not THIRTEEN! Oh well, nothing like a good old challenge to spice up my life.
During our shoot everybody worked together fast and well --(exactly how well I only realized afterwards: apparently quite a bit of clothes swapping went on behind my back…) We easily got it done in the time and each person had a good variety of pictures which to select six favorites from.
Good luck with your showcase everyone! And best wishes for a bright future.
