Industry Icons When They Were Seniors: A Second Round

A photograph is like a recipe - memory the finished dish.

It's my favorite day of the week for posting, and I almost missed it.

It's Throwback Thursday, and it's time for another batch of seniors. They're all industry icons, and there are lots more to share next week, too. It's a kick chasing these down. Most of these well-respected artists had no idea their future was going to take them behind the camera, not to mention becoming an influencer in imaging. 

Searching Google, the AI overview states: In 2025, the United States is projected to see a peak in high school graduates, with around 3.9 million students graduating. 

High school senior photography continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments in professional photography. It's so different from when I was a kid! First, there's color! Second, a senior session is more about capturing the subject's personality, not just a formal headshot. Third, because of social media, a senior headshot isn't just for the yearbook - senior shots are shared throughout social media, used on grad cards, and rarely just one pose is shared.

A big thanks to everyone who has sent me a throwback to when they were high school seniors or a year or two after that.

It's fun turning back the clock!
