Seniors Ethan & Jordan

Congratulations to Ethan & Jordan who are graduating next month from Northern H.S.!

We took some time in the backyard to get some shots of these two using one flash (behind the subjects), reflector, and the sun.

photographers: There was a lot of distractions in the backyard so I had to shoot at an upwards angle to frame them out including the house & deck. I underexposed environment, then lit him up with off-camera flash.

photographers: flash/reflector setup in the left image. Natural light in the right image. As you can see from the strobe’s light, pollen was everywhere creating “specs” where the light source was coming from, lol.

Jordan’s gotta be one of the most photogenic people I’ve ever shot. Gorgeous… not to mention her cool name;)
