“Maybe you are a professional portrait photographer trying to separate yourself from the high school senior market or maybe you are a parent just wanting to impress your children. Either way, this simple project can be great fun and produce professional results for photographers of all skill levels.”
“A couple of months ago I was doing a portrait session in the studio with an 8 year old boy. I was shooting him with his football on a high key white background. I asked him to throw the ball up in the air. As he did, I fired off a shot. After reviewing the images, I noticed what a great job the strobes did in stopping the movement of the ball. It got me thinking that this could come in handy when shooting high school seniors.”
