    Hey there, have you considered "photo SFX art" (just search on Google for it …)? There you will find a great free video explaining the way to make awesome photos. It made it possible for Daniel to create pictures which leave you with that jaw-dropping-effect after you take a look at them. Hopefully it works for you also.

    Yea Richard, I think your info is not useless. I found it to be useful, not only in shooting students but in other was, if you know what a person likes then you have an idea what to produce. Having said that, your video title is misleading. When most people hear the word senior, the first thing that comes to mind is Lunch, Discount, Home, etc. not kids. But, I thought, ok, how to get an elderly person to realx for a photo and eventually thought the photo was of a grandchild. 🙂

    At least this guy's got two stuffed animals laying around. If he had mannquins laying around, that would make things a little creepy.

    What he is refering to about "Seniors" are High School Seniors ! Not old people with facials that resemble "Tutankhamun" or "Ramesess" that were just dugged up out of the Valley of Kings.

    you're a moron, but then again everyone on eHow is..

    Best tip was to take lots of photos. What he says about teens is true. It is hard to get them to like "themselves"…
