Photographing an Athletic Senior Girl in Denver.
For this future DU gymnast, we wanted the senior portrait session to be unique and a little different than most. Because she is athletic and a very talented young lady, those qualities needed to be portrayed in the portraits.
That was an easy enough task just by simply setting up a few gymnastic poses while borrowing some of Denver’s iconic backdrops and sculptures. At the time I did not know much about gymnastics, or even posing such an athlete, but luckily, I was accompanied by an expert that knew exactly what she was doing.
We spent most of the session doing classic poses and keeping things natural looking. It was between those classic poses that we would sprinkle in some of gymnastic exercises and athletic poses. That kept things fun for both of us as we shot for a several hours that day. Most shoots don’t go nearly that long, but hey, we were clicking!
The fact that she did these exercises outdoors in regular street clothes made these shots fun and unique, and that was exactly what she and I was going for.
Thank you for allowing to be your senior portrait photographer, it was an honor to work with you!
