Nick’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

Since Nick moved to Sandpoint a little over a year ago I have had the opportunity to capture images of him out on the football field and the basketball court. Now in his senior year I was honored to have the opportunity to take his senior photos. Here are some of the final results.

Nick’s brother was gracious enough to volunteer to help me fine tune my lighting while Nick was preparing for the next series of photos.

To finish out this post, here is a football themed Senior Poster

Brayden’s Senior Photo (Sandpoint Photographer)

September 20, 2011/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

The Sandpoint High School deadline for Senior Photos is only a couple of days away so this week has had it’s share of last minute senior sessions. Today I went out with Brayden, our goal was to get one particular shot today for the yearbook and then we will do a full blown senior session a bit later in the year. This one shot needed to incorporate much about Brayden, his cymbals, his didgeridoo and if you know Brayden you know the hat had to be in there somewhere! We found a great spot, asked the owner if we could borrow their front yard for a quick photos shoot and then we worked the shot until we had it just right. It was not as easy as you would think, that pesky sun was very bright but with the help of Brayden’s grandmother doing some “Subtractive lighting” for me and a couple of flashes at full power we were able to get the right exposure. Alright, enough words about the shot, here it is . . .

My sports coverage was a little lighter this week due to some portrait work and a wedding in Sacramento. I love shooting sports but I also have to pay my bills so portrait and wedding work always takes priority! I did make sure to schedule my flights for the wedding so that I would only miss a Saturday’s worth of games though. Here is this weeks recap of my sports and sports related work this last week.

Senior posters take some time and I am very busy these days so if you are interested in a Senior Poster for Senior Night please make sure to contact me well in advance.

Tyler’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

September 8, 2011/in Portraits, Senior Photos, Sports Portraits /by Jason Duchow

Tyler and I arrived at Memorial Field in Sandpoint at the brink of dusk to shoot some dramatic football themed senior photos. We had to work quickly to be able to get some shots of the victory bell in the background before it became too dark to capture it adequately.

After dark we had the opportunity to do some fun lighting . . .

At the end of our we set up some of my favorite shots of the evening, I put a couple of flashes in the stands to use as a background. It is very possible that this is the last football season that those stands will be there so years from now I am sure Tyler will look back with fond memories of those stands that have seated thousands of fans for many years.

For the final photo of this post I compiled a Senior Poster mixing together a great shot from our time together and a couple of photos from the last two football seasons.

Weekly Sports Recap (09/05/2011)

September 5, 2011/in Football, Soccer, Sports Photography, Volleyball, Weekly Sports Updates /by Jason Duchow

This last week volleyball was added to the mix of fall sports, I had the opportunity to photograph the varsity match between Lake City and Sandpoint as well as the JV and varsity matches between Kellogg and Lakeland. On the soccer side of things I made my way to Post Falls for their game against Coeur d’Alene, to Lake City High School as they faced Sandpoint and Priest River as they hosted Kellogg. I had two football games on my schedule this week. Friday night it was Sandpoint as they traveled to Spokane to take on East Valley High School, then Saturday I visited Lake City to cover the JV game against Mead. When I arrived I found referees and a lake city team but no Mead team! It turns out that Mead had a team ready to go but no bus to take them to Coeur d’Alene for their game. I went searching for some Junior tackle football to shoot but to no avail, I did however find a parking spot right in front of Hudson’s Hamburgers in downtown Coeur d’Alene, clearly this was a sign that I needed to have a couple of cheeseburgers for breakfast!
