I hadn't done an outdoor portrait photography session in a very long time, and yesterday I finally did one for a guy who hired my services because he wanted some photographs since his birthday was very near!

We chose an outdoor location surrounded by trees and a quite interesting walkway to play with the composition in the photographs. I started by taking a full body photography:

We varied the pose a bit:

A closer shot:

Then we continued exploring the different poses that could be done in the location. Again, a full body photography and then another one little closer:

At that moment, I came up with the idea for this photography with the railing out of focus in the foreground, guiding the eye toward the subject:

Then I told him to lean on the railing a bit, and from there, we explored different variations of poses:

And to conclude the first part of this photography session, we went down to a place that had a set of stairs. In these photographs, we looked for more "urban" style poses:

I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera, a 50mm f/2.8 lens, and a flash with a 50cm diffuser.

Both the guy and I were super happy with the results of this first part. I hope you like them as much as we did!
