I had photographed Michael several times with the Fairport high school hockey teams, which made him feel very comfortable during his senior portrait session. The more comfortable someone is during their session, the better the resulting photos will be. Like many high school boys, Michael just wanted to "get through" the session, but found that he really enjoyed the experience, and it shows in these images.
We worked through several clothing changes during the session and went outdoors for several photos, but it wasn't until we got to the hockey photos that things really took off. I always get great expressions from athletes when I say, "Think about your biggest rival, and think about what goes through your mind just before the game". Works like magic every time.
