    Vintage senior pictures madison wi – Maria

    We couldn’t have had a better location to compliment our latest senior pictures photoshoot. The arboretum provided the perfect backdrop for our stunning senior, Maria, a student at Madison West High School. The whole vibe lent itself to some beautiful vintage feeling photos. Thanks to Maria and Mom for a magical late afternoon off Monroe St.

    Senior pictrue of Madison West Senior Maria in the early afternoon at Wingra Park. Beautiful natural and relaxed smile and pose.

    Maria reminded us of pre-raphaelite paintings and we couldn't resist doing some more romantic senior pictures with beautiful wingra park as our backdrop. In this shot we asked Maria, who is a madison west high school senior to walk through a tunnel of trees and then applied a vintage effect in alienskin exposure 7.`

  • Model Senior Portrait Photoshoot – Madison: Studio Indigo Photography

    Model Senior Portrait Photoshoot – Madison: Studio Indigo Photography

    This location had everything we could want for an urban senior portrait shoot; Brick walls, old buildings with lots of texture, rusted out stairs, train tracks and why not, a food truck! We photographed Mariah at Union Station in St Louis as part of a fashion, urban senior portrait photoshoot. And don’t worry…this station is no longer operating so we were 100% safe when on the tracks.

    We love brick walls for backgrounds. We usually like them to have a little more texture and wear and tear then this one, but it's still a cool looking senior portrait. Mariah's eyes just pop off the screen and the cross processed effect creates a grungy, urban, cool senior picture. We photographed Mariah for a fashion senior portrait model shoot in St Louis.

    Fashion senior model photo shoot with Mariah. Mariah is in the Class of 2017 and is posing outside of a food truck. We're always looking for ways to create unique or trendy portraits and sometimes that's by incorporating the urban environment into the shot. Check out the hipsters in the background!

    Love this senior portrait in profile of Mariah. Mariah is a gorgeous model who posed for this senior model shoot in St Louis outside Union Station. This senior portrait was processed with this trendy, vintage slide film cross processed effect using Alienskin Exposure 7. I made the shadows a little cooler than normal and I like the effect.

    Gritty, grungy, urban senior portrait on the train tracks strongly back lit in early afternoon sun. The sun creates a cool hair light and we're able to achieve flattering flat light on the model's face. This was part of a series of fashion model senior portraits that we photographed in St Louis with the Nikon D750 and Nikon 85mm 1.4d, our favorite lens.

    Love this senior portrait pose and the cool effect created with the shallow depth of field. Mariah is leaning up against a vintage train and is open shade creating flattering flat light on her face. Added contrast and some other cool, unique effects to give the image some pop with Alienskin Exposure 7.

    Fashionable fun urban senior portraits – Serena

    Wanted to post more of the photos from Serena, Alli and Jenna’s High school senior photo shoot. These photos focus on Serena with Alli and Jenna’s coming soon. Love the urban, fashion, photo-journalistic vibe we got with this shoot. Thanks for working with us ladies. You were awesome!

     

    Beautiful light hitting the side of MG&E matched with soft softbox lighting Serena. Used yongnuo flash in a small chimera softbox to light Serena for this cool, artistic senior portrait.

    This was early in the photoshoot and everyone is always a little nervous at the start. We start off with some simple, natural poses to help everyone get in the flow. Our location was downtown madison for that urban senior portrait look. Serena is standing against an old warehouse with great texture and color.

    Serena standing outside a metal warehouse in downtown madison for this urban, industrial high school senior photo shoot. We've known Serena and her family for a long time so we were excited that we were able to take her senior portrait.

    We use something called flow posing when working with our senior portrait clients. It lets us take a number of shots in a natural way. We give direction and ideas with our clients but try not to pose too much.

    Our approach is to be very natural with our senior portrait posing. Simple direction like "Play with your rings or hair" are a good way to get some natural relaxed movement and expression

    Serena wasn't interested in giving us a big toothy smile since her braces won't be coming off for a couple months. But those are the images that both we and Mom's and Dad's love. With our approach to shooting senior portraits we definitely are able to get those natural smiles and expressions, it sometimes just takes a little bit.

    I love the color of the garage door on this warehouse. I think it works really well with Serena's outfit. My post processing style is a little more muted in colors but I could see someone really emphasizing the colors, cranking up the vibrance setting. Another relaxed natural standing pose in this portrait.

    An example of flow posing. Start with the wide shot, then get closer and change point of view. The senior model doesn't have to move much, just changing position and now leaning against the garage door.

    Last shot in the flow posing series. Changed lens to the Nikon 85mm 1.4 for the tight headshot with soft background. All 3 photos took maybe a minute and we get a variety of photographs to show the client.

    It's always nice to have friends or family along for a senior photo shoot. It's a great way to get your senior to relax and generate some natural smiles! And we love working as a team, coming up with posing ideas or different locations.

    We always try to incorporate movement into our senior photo shoots. In this shot we asked Serena to start walking and drag her fingers along the fence. We'll usually do this a few times, using the continuous focus setting on the camera to grab the whole series of shots in focus.

    Serena was whispering something to Jenna during this series of shots. I said I wish I knew what they were saying which created the natural laugh and smile, so you know it had to be bad! The smile and laugh lasted for just a second. Always have the camera ready to grab those great candid expressions.

    Shooting with the Wisconsin Capitol Rotunda is always a popular high school senior request. For this shot we decided to make it a little more dramatic, shooting at night on King St outside the Majestic Theater. Used a speedlite with small softbox as key light. I really like the backlit effect from the streetlight on the upper left.

    Photographing this senior portrait walking down the street with the senior model swinging her arms. And she doesn't have to do big movements, even little movements get the job done. This is one of my favorite shots with the photo journalistic feeling and dramatic lighting.

    Love this senior portrait sitting on the curb in dowtown madison at night. All the funky lights from the capital rotunda and theater marquee. Still using the speedlite with small softbox for the key light. Love Serena's pose which she came up with on her own. Later in the shoot your high school senior model is usually getting into the flow and is doing their own poses.

    All 3 ladies posing for a selfie in this stylish senior portrait. On camera flash on manual setting created the high key fashion look. Love this unique senior portrait with friends. Great location and all 3 girls were getting into it. They kept coming up with new ideas. What a blast!

    Gotta do duck lips, right? Again, using a speedlite on camera, set to manual and blasting them with light. Normally not a go to lighting set up for senior portraits but works great for this kind of unique, gritty, high fashion look that we were going for. So much fun!
