“All About The Hair” was shot for my son’s senior portrait. He is passionate about basketball and his hair has always been a staple of his unique features. Truly makes everyone envious! All real, no perm!
I love to use this dramatic style in a lot of our work. I used a neutral gray shirt to drive focus to his blonde hair and a hot light on the wall behind him to create a warm separation.
