Since my last post on here, which has been well over a year and heading closely to two, we have encountered a lot as a world, a nation and being human. I’m not going to say much about how the 2020 year has been, outside of one word…”speechless”. That said, I’m going to jump right in to the post.
During the summer I had the pleasure of meeting with and photographing Tahj. He’s the son of some dear friends of ours who have been a blessing to our lives. One thing I love finding out as I prepare to photograph seniors is what they are into. Being able to incorporate these into a session adds to the fullness of a senior’s life as you look back at that point in time. From a photographers stand point, I get to be challenged to photograph this idea in a different way and make it unique. For Tahj, our conversation on his interests pointed us to his love for hip hop dance and anime. I’ve shot dance before for a local dance studio which was more on the formal side, so now I got to use a little creativity with lights to make something unique. In addition Tahj, also runs track, so I wanted something that was going to be more of a commercial look. So, here’s what we came up with.
Here’s to your future Tahj; may the Lord bless you!
