The photography company told my school we should bring props? I dont really know what I’m supposed to do. Cause I dont play any sports, I mean im an artist, should I bring in my work?
What will go on on the day I take the pictures?
Unless you have something that you are totally into and know you will be in several years, I wouldn’t worry about the props. Focus on yourself solely. Find your best looks in the mirror, get some opinions on those from your parents as well. No father on earth wants their daughter’s senior pictures to look like an ad for a strip club. These pictures are taken for their benefit way more than yours. Be considerate of that. I always tell my senior clients that and they are surprising understanding of that.
Worry about what to wear, how much makeup is enough, how to do your hair so that its natural looking, but good and easily fixable if some gale force winds happen to blow you away. Have your faces and smiles ready so you know how you’re going to compose yourself for what shots.
On the day, don’t worry. Don’t be nervous. Don’t smile for any more than 5 seconds at a time. Serious does not mean angry. Relax. It will all be over soon, but the pictures will last a lifetime. Make damn sure they’re done right by you and the photographer. Good Luck. – BB
