Track Guy

As an on-location portrait artist, Senior Portraits in Milwaukee is now in full swing for me. The weather's warmed up and the sun is letting me photograph into the early evening. That summer, evening light is nothing short of "sweet," as Evan, my "track guy" recently said.

Evan and I had a great time together the other evening! After making some images at his home, we headed down to the track at Franklin High School and Evan laced up his track shoes for some action shots. I photographed him rounding the corner in full stride, where his feet seemed to be floating in the air. He's a fast, efficient runner and he made it to the State Track Meet this year. Way to go guy!

But when the sun settled a little lower in the sky, it was time to make the image I had envisioned the week before, when I scouted out the track. Under the bleachers, I wanted an easy, maybe tired, kind of look with that post-race relaxation that any athlete can relate to. Evan gave it ALL to me and my vision for an image came to be. Awesome image Evan and "SWEET"!

Evan is but one reason why I love to photograph high school seniors in the summer!
