5 Ways to Make your Senior Portraits More Aesthetic
These are my favorite techniques for making portraits more aesthetic.



You may think the summer after graduation is monumental. It is! But let's talk about the summer before. The summer before senior year is just as important — maybe more. This is the summer before everything changes.

It starts with senior night. Maybe it's for baseball, lacrosse, soccer, track — or all of the above.

One mistake a lot of portrait photographers make constantly is to blow out the sky in their portraits. Raise your hand if that is ever you. My hand is up with you. I have plenty of portraits with the sky completely blown out. And sometimes that is unavoidable - on a gray day or when I want to use backlighting from the sun. But when you have a blue sky like the one below, you want that blue to make it through in your images. Here's how to make it happen without a flash.
