Well got another type of photography under my belt today... Senior Photos!
Had a 4 hour session down in the Gorge that produced a ton of good pictures.

Did them for a friend who is going to spread the word at her school. Hopefully brings in some money

Damn I really impressed myself with the Senior Photos I took yesterday.

Gotta work up some prices as some of her friends are already interested.


If you guys know anyone that needs some pictures done, keep me in mind!

A couple samples from yesterday.

Oh n recommendation..keep your prices low. Senior pics are a big PITA. I almost couldn't get mine cuz my dad lost his job right before we had to pay for them. Luckily, the place I went to was super cool and let me rep for them so I could get a discount.
Oh and cheap wallet bundles..cuz that's what everyone wants..pics to give to friends!!

Prices will be low.

Im not dealing with prints. I will be selling disks with the photos on them.
Facebook, myspace etc etc is the new version of handing out those little wallet pictures that people loose these days if you ask me.

One thing i see wrong with most photographers is they charge for packages of shit no one will ever need or want. The way im gonna do it is to let the customer tell me what they need and want and work with them from that.

Gonna have some business cards made up with the pictures i took yesterday to be used as rep cards.

That's a pretty good idea..the disk thing..cuz that way you can get what you need made whenever you want. But two years ago the whole wallet thing was still pretty big. Maybe make it an option? I agree, studios charge too much for all the bundle crap. My bro just got his done at Sorenson and they were expensive as hell..and he didn't even get that many. A few portrait sizes for mom and grandparents, some smaller ones for close family and like 16 wallets or so. But I gotta admit they did some awesome work...
Yours look great too! What do you use to edit pics?

best way to form a portfolio is seriously while you're in school! So many extra doors will open for you on your way out that way or remain open is you choose to continue your own practice. Props to Kyle for being proactive!

One of the classes I need to take before i graduate is portfolio building. Im looking into starting a "e-portfolio" that is more professional than FlickR. We will see how that works since ive never built a website before.

As far as ive heard...even the people that donated to get stickers have yet to get them.

Also from what ive seen, as long as you dont sell the stickers you can make whatever you want.

Hey kyle, the bumper is a no go. Hey doesnt want to drop the cash rite now when he needs to save.

Speaking of photography, a friend of mine just got his first feature shoot in import tuner. Its the oct. issue so if you guys happen to have it take a glance. The car is a old corolla i believe and shot by Patrick Luader. Also if you have the chance check out his flicker. He goes by quickster, quickworks, or even quickslvrtypeS on there. He might be coming up later this year so i might have him shoot my car lol.

Yea he has gotten really good with his work. If i remember correctly we both got out rebel xt about the same time around 06 i believe. So really, hes been shooting with an dslr for about 3.5 years or so and we were mini shoots with our p/s before that lol.

Your work is really coming along also i might add.
