When I was a sixteen-year-old teenager, I remember how important it was for me to hear from loved ones - what am I? There was a period when I just tortured all relatives - tell me about me. Of course, they were telling something, but everything was not right. I wanted more from the inside and the very one that was the highlight of myself. What was different from others and related only to me. I intuitively felt that this was what could determine the future path. A thirst to understand my strengths and weaknesses accompanied me for several years. This is how to find a seed from which you can grow a garden of flowering trees and receive fruits all your life.
We managed to identify ourselves only through the profession and communication with customers. It happened closer to 30. I was given opportunities that were important to discern and gratefully use. So gradually it turned out to form an image of yourself and determine your place among people. Intuition turned out to be right - the knowledge of internal resources gave both strength and excitement. Everything that happened later was really for the better. It was possible not only to do, but to enjoy it.
Adolescence - the age of the active search for their place among other people. This is the beginning of the period when a young man is looking for a means of social adaptation, he is important style for teens. And the child can be helped a bit, while maintaining his right to remain the main thing in the search. Fashion provides all the means for this, so it is interesting for young people. As they grow older, the range of means of social adaptation expands and fashion gradually loses super-relevance. Other priorities and values come to the fore. But at the stage of growing up, fashion and visual self-image are very important for adolescents. And here he manages himself, or parents invite a stylist for a teenager.
One of the most affordable ways to determine your uniqueness is a photo session accompanied by a stylist and selection of clothing style. The modern world belongs to visual images. They are much more informative than words and texts. It is more important to see once than to hear it a hundred times. Therefore, if a young generation is growing up in your family, then be sure to arrange a meeting with a pleasant photographer for him and help organize everything as comfortably as possible.
PREPARING FOR A PHOTO SESSION
A photographer no older than 30 years is needed, but already has at least 4-5 years of experience working with the camera. He must be able to retouch the photo or have in the access zone those who will do it under his supervision. Examine his portfolio and be prepared for the fact that such a style will be in your photos. There are no miracles here, so look for the most suitable maestro. Make an appointment and get to know him in person by setting him the task. For shooting, do not try to choose the most elegant and rarely used things (from the “to the feast” series). Let it be daily images in which your child is accustomed to wear every day. Hair styling should also be free, and at this stage you can have a hairdresser nearby, just to slightly improve the familiar shape.
Modern images are about comfort, freedom and light “relaxed negligence”. Now it’s not fashionable to be specially elegant, especially when it comes to a boy or girl 15-18 years old. Allow them to be in regular T-shirts, plaid shirts, barefoot and jeans. No need to make spectacular makeup and high hairstyles. This is no longer fashionable. And please, exclude from your imagination your own unfulfilled fantasies and theatrical images. This photo shoot should be for your child so that he looks at himself from the side, like in a mirror. There is no problem to make it more beautiful. The goal is to help him see himself from the outside, determine the best angles, profile, smile, look.
Therefore, leave skirts-tutus, frozen poses and perfectly-dressed curls for the prom. Before shooting, ask your child to find several shots that he / she likes to stylize and show to your photographer. This will allow you to determine the background, poses, gestures, facial expressions. Do not be afraid to copy, it will turn out differently anyway. But a ready-made set of images helps in obtaining a good result. And be prepared for the fact that the last frames will be better than the first. Any person who is not a model needs time to open in front of the camera. Enough time for this is 1 -1.5 hours.
