Welding Senior Portraits - Photographer Columbia MO

This kid is a riot. When we met at his outfit consultation, he had his favorite shirt (the Casino Shirt) and a pair of Money Boots. His fun loving personality was evident from the start. We chatted about his interests and I found out that he is going to be a welder and has a passion for trucks, especially his big truck. So obviously, me being me, I go "Yes, we are shooting both of these." Nevermind the fact that I had no idea what precautions needed to be taken to shoot someone who was actually welding. I did some research, mainly googling things like welding photography safety and what happens to my eyes if I don't wear a welding helmet but don't look at the person welding.

Clearly very scientific, so it was no surprise that we go to that portion of the session, and I had requests for Cash like, "Can you make more sparks please?" and "Is it possible to make the tool look like this?" We had so much fun laughing at my awkward requests, running around town to new locations, and getting Cash's parents (who are just as fun as he is!) involved in the shoot! His dad even hopped in to weld in background!
