High School Senior: Renee-PT {Pittsburgh Photographer}

July 30, 2009

Renee literally rocked out her Senior Session! The shoot started at 6:30pm and the light was absolutely PeRfEcTTT! We couldn’t have had better lighting and the first place we started offered a sparkling opportunity…

K, so, I have this big white foam core board that I keep in my car (used as a reflector, esp. when it’s super bright or kinda dark). If you haven’t already heard me talk about it on a photo shoot or at a wedding well, “It’s my high tech, ‘break the bank,’ investment…” LOL, right? I know it’s probably a corny photographer joke or something, but I love that it totally works and I paid about 97 cents for it or something…..K, so, anyway, I brought it along and asked Renee’s mom to be my assistant for some of the shots. The first place we decided to take pictures was on a narrow wooded path next to the lake. There was a large tree and the way I wanted to  take the picture was sort of a problem. Why? Well, that “PeRfEcTTT” light was aimed right at the center of my lens.  The solution? Use the awesome high tech foam core to direct the light onto Renee’s pretty little face! Here was the result:

I’m pretty certain this was probably a “you had to be there” and “Dana’s a nerd” moment for anyone else to be as excited about the outcome, but I just thought I’d share  with anyone interested in learning a basic photography trick. 🙂

Moving on…So, after the “fun reflecting” we had some fun with different looks, props, and shots. Here is the rest of Renee’s photoshoot with her music video at the end. Congratulations Renee! Thanks for being such a fun subject to photograph! Good luck in your senior year and in college!
