Seniors

I have not photographed seniors. Are senior posing different then a normal potrait? I mean, posing/background to capture the senior moment. How do you go about to photograph seniors without the normal portrait pose?

I volunteer at a local senior center and I take candids for their bulletin board all the time. Taking pictures of seniors is just like anyone else. Catch them doing interesting things or ordinary like talking with a friend, enjoying the warm air on a spring day, dancing to favorite music, or even napping covered with a warm afghan. I try to show that age and living are easy to combine.

Thanks, but I didn't mean seniors as in senior citizens. I meant seniors as in high school grads.

I was wondering what you meant but now that it's been cleared up--- have them bring in their hobbies/ intersests to the shoot , some of my son and his friends brought their guitars to the shoot with a change of clothes and after the suit and tie formal portraits they posed in different outfits with the guitars. These were the best shots in my opinion becaues it showed them in "natural" poses and a more relaxed atmosphere. Don't be afraid to have them cut up or be having fun with the shoot. Get into their world a bit and see where it leads. You may be surprised with the results. Good luck and Happy Shooting !
