Fort Smith Arkansas Senior Photographer | Robyn - Part II

And now for part II of Robyn’s Senior Portrait Session. When I asked her if she wanted to be a guinea pig for some new stuff I had been wanting to try, I had lighting in mind. Lots of lighting.  Maybe you remember this session, it helped me see where I wanted to go with Robyn’s senior portraits. And I knew I wanted to go one step further and get a little more landscape involved in Robyn’s portraits, so we headed east of town to get some portraits with a little ‘post-apocalyptic’ feel to them. Natives of Fort Smith and surrounding areas probably know where I’m talking about, but since we were asked nicely to vacate the premises (signs were posted everywhere BUT where we went, I don’t trespass intentionally), I’ll leave the location a mystery by not saying where or showing off some of the more ‘really-tell-tale’ images. Anywho, on to part II…

p.s.
An interesting, if hard to believe, fact about the last two images: they’re in chronological order. The first one where Robyn is sitting in the middle of the road was shot at 7:19pm, whereas the last one with the sun behind her was shot at 7:31pm. Pretty crazy what you can do with some serious lights, huh?

ps

Matt brought the frame (and the sax) with him to his Senior Portrait Session - So if you want to add something like this to your session, just bring whatever fun props you want and we’ll work ‘em in. I’m still waiting on someone to bring some crazy wig and giant glasses or something…

Fort Smith Senior Photography | Meet Matt…

He’s pretty cool-
Laid back-
Laughs a lot-
Plays alto sax (like I used to)-
Was the Drum Major in band his senior year (like I was)-
Going to college to get a music education degree (like I did)-
Is into photography (again…)-
Has a hard time keeping a straight face-
And can’t give a real smile on command.
But hey, who wants those fake cheesy senior photo smiles? I’d rather take (and see) photos of people actually laughing.
Be forewarned, lots of collage images ahead (and yes we sell prints of collage images, you just gotta ask).
Enjoy…
