Elodie: senior portraits in the South Boulder foothills
Senior portraits shot at sunset and after dark in the South Boulder foothills below the Flatirons.
Senior portraits
Golden hour, natural and fun
Making my own light
We shot her senior portraits in the foothills of South Boulder, where the Flatirons fill the background and the evening light does most of the work. As the sun went down, I made my own light with a Godox AD200 Pro flash so we could keep shooting after the natural light was gone. Everything was shot on a Sony A7 with a vintage manual Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.5.
The evening light does most of the work.
What came next
Elodie is now at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studying communications. For a second set shot on the New Hampshire coast, see Elodie II: Jenness Beach.
