Denver Senior Picture Video

Check out our new senior photo promotional video, and find out why we’re the choice for Denver Senior Pictures! It gives you an idea of how we shoot with our seniors and what our photography is all about from Classical portraits to Sports photography and Fashion photography for Seniors. Check us out, we’re always doing something different in Colorado! From acrobat to baseball to football to gymnastics to soccer, we have the most creative and unique senior sports photos in Denver and all of Colorado. If the video is buffering slowly, just pause it for 10 or 20 seconds to let it buffer!

Most people that come to us say they were drawn in by the images. Their statement is usually that “you don’t look like everyone else’s photos.” That’s because we don’t shoot like a senior portrait photographer. We shoot like a fashion photographer and advertising photographer for our sports image. Our senior photographs look like they belong on the front page of ESPN magazine or in a fashion editorial shoot in Vogue or other top magazines. Take a look, watch the video and I think you’ll see how different we are! The key to a great shoot is a photographer that understands how to shoot sports and fashion. You have to know the game as an athlete and fan. Without that, you’ll see most photographers simply default to a picture of the senior in a letterman jacket or posing with their gear. That’s not who we are. To be the best Denver Senior Pictures, you have to go beyond the status quo.

What’s new with Seniors @ 5280!!

That’s right, that’s us on the top of the WallStreet Journal. And we have a two page spread in the lifestyle section as well as a segment on the Wall Street Journal Live webcast talking about how Senior Pictures are evolving and all that is involved with creating a great senior picture. With all the cameras, camera phones, more and more people are coming to us to create incredible images. The guy down the street or the friend with a $1000 camera no longer takes images that are anything special. We create art for your walls and memories that you’ll keep forever. We provide the skill, creativity and artistic vision that a “good camera” just can’t provide.

Denver Senior Pictures

In our Senior model program, we tend to push the limits of creativity to create compelling and interesting images. We do this for two reasons. One, we can show what our staff is capable of, but more importantly we get to push our creativity and many of our looks and styles for the subsequent years come out of our experimental model sessions. Senior Pictures have become so boring and routine at so many studios. Same pose, same set, same bad post processing. We didn’t become photographers to create McDonald’s-like cookie cutter images. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to shoot new styles, new sports. We want to thank ACE – Academy of Circus Elements for training our models and helping us put together these amazing shots!

Project Megan – Colorado Senior Pictures

We’re wrapping up Project Megan. She’s got her first professional fitness shoot this next Friday for Mixed Martial Arts. In the mean time, we decided to add a little fashion to her portfolio so she has some flexibility when she signs the next couple weeks. We brought in Makeup Artist-extraordinaire Jo Dang to help out. A lot of seniors forego a professional makeup artist when they are getting their senior pictures done. But, with the right one, you can add a dramatic portrait set or two to your shoot to give you a totally different look and feel. These pictures were taken in our new Studio build out area. We have a great light that comes in late afternoon and even during the day with our lighting equipment we can create the same effect. So here she is in your fashion/glam photoshoot from Monday night! Colorado Senior Pictures don’t have to be simply outdoor or downtown. Live a little, glam up, go for the magazine cover shot and let us capture the best of you!

Avoid Bad Senior Pictures

Don’t Let This Happen To You

Sports and Fashion are the two primary reasons I’m a photography today. As a high school senior we go through a right of passage to college, the military, sports or work the 18th year of our lives. We reach a key milestone and our live forever changes. Choices open up and paths present themselves as we begin to figure out what we will do, be, etc. We shoot a ton of sports portraits, and when we started, most of what we saw resembled the photo above. A bad pose with just a letterman jacket. This isn’t what sports is all about.

Don’t get me wrong, the letterman jacket is a great thing. But, it does not show off you, your life, your hard work. It doesn’t tell a story or recreate big plays of your life. The old senior picture of the letterman jacket merely shows what you’ve “earned” as a result of 1000’s of hours of training, practice and playing. And as a senior photo, it’s a bit of a let down. We felt your senior pictures should be about you, not some factory where 1000’s of seniors have posed before you. And if you play sports, they should capture your athleticism, power, skill, tenacity and love for the sport. When you look back 5,10,20 years which image is going to remind you, your children, your parents of who you were as an athlete.

If you’re an athlete, a dancer, a model or just a high school senior. Come to us and we’ll create some amazing and beautiful senior pictures you’ll keep forever. If you’re an athlete, go to Denver’s most innovative sports portrait photographer for seniors, Seniors @ 5280 and we’ll create something amazing with you!

Boulder Senior Pictures

More often than not, we post Denver and studio pictures, but there are lots of ideal locations for Boulder Senior Pictures located just up the diagonal. When we shoot Boulder Senior Pictures, we love the diversity of locations. From the FlatIrons, to downtown, to Boulder Creek to a few secret locations we have up our sleeves, Boulder provides that incredible backdrop that sets off senior pictures. And we’re not talking pictures with just the flatirons behind you. There are water shots at the Boulder reservoir to sophisticated urban portraits in and around the Pearl Street Mall and the funky North End.

We usually look at it as a mini vacation for us and spend the afternoon hanging out after a set of shoots there. The key advantage for Boulder Senior Pictures is we shoot on location as well as our studio. We can hit as many locations as we have time. Don’t get us wrong we love Denver and we highly recommend it for it’s iconic locations and images…but the casual relaxed nature of Boulder provides an awesome backdrop.

So, give us a call today at 303-704-7531 for your Boulder Senior Pictures. Catch us at sunrise or at sunset and get some of the best lights for portraits in the world. The scenery in Boulder changes every few weeks during the summer so lots of great opportunities Senior Pictures that are uniquely you!
