TY to Tori for the tip on this one. The photography magazine, Rangefinder, has an entire feature on how Twilight themed photoshoots are becoming popular.
Photographer Hernan Rodriguez explains how he went about getting the look (see page 5)
“The Twilight craze is huge with the young generation. Teen guys are hip
to this style, and girls want a guy who looks like this. We were after a shot
with senior Jason that had a dark, mysterious look with blue undertones,
which presented an interesting challenge. We couldn’t shoot Jason in
the middle of a dark mystical forest. We would have had to scout a place
and bring in generators to light it up like a Christmas tree, so instead we
brought the forest to our senior in postproduction.”
Uh… Wow. I just spat out my drink when I saw that picture.
Wow this makes me realize how time flies. As a member of the 1998 senior class, “Titanic” anything was the IT thing. Girls were all over Rose and Jack’s love story. lol
As a professional photographer myself, that is THE crappiest senior protrait I’ve ever seen. I really hope this “trend” doesn’t catch on. The Twilight over-kill is starting to irk me…
Very nice to come across your site. I must mention to Laur, “times have changed”
You’re either in our you’re out.
Ciao.
