getting ready for senior pictures

ixoyc · 01-Jan-07, 08:01 PM

allright , as korny as this sounds, i wanted to get my pictures taken like the bodybuilders in the magazine

i have a pretty good build right now (just need to work a couple of areas)

so, my main questions are: what kind of plan should i go on to decrease fat and get rid of water in the skin

i wanted to get the pictures done in about march/april time

any help is greatly appreaciated.

if you post current pics people can advise much better

Also, make sure you take some senior pictures that don't feature u all oiled up and flexing. Remember, a number of these pictures will be preserved for posterity, don't want your kids to have that much ammo on you

good on you for being a vet body person.
Post pic via mail and i will give honest advice

Are talking about senior pictures that go in the yearbook, where everybody wears a bow tie?

That doesn't sound corny, that IS corny. Corny as hell!

My advice is don't do it... but if you do, post it here for entertainment.

Seriously, that's the kind of thing you'll look back on and wonder what the hell you were thinking.

Now-a-days, kids take, at a minimum, 2 different outfits to senior pictures. Only one is for the yearbook, the rest are for your friends. I'm sure he's not talking about his yearbook picture.

that is true gartell, i had about 6 outfit changes for my senior pictures, one of which included my gymnastics leotard, warm-ups and trophies. another change of outfit was into my soccer uniform with soccer ball and even did a change into my cheerleading skirt and sweater. that might be sound corny to some of you but 9 years later i am glad i did it. brings back memories everytime i look at them, plus my parents have a nice collage showing all of my activities and interests during that time of my life.

ixoyc like maxgain suggested, if you can post some pictures i'm sure others will be happy to give you advice.

As a parent the best captured memories are the ones I paid a professional photographer to do! (The school photographers pictures were crap and expensive in comparison.)

IMHO It's worth every penny to take control and have things done your way.

i would post pics but i don't have a camera.
i already got my pics for the yearbook, these are the ones were you can get any pose you want
and i thought it would be kind of cool do have picture of me doing deadlift or something

Dan C · 12-Jan-07, 09:40 AM

Gotcha.

IMO, there is a big difference between an action shot (like deadlifting) and exposing your half naked teenage body to everyone in your school. Maybe it's just me, but one of them is just kinda strange. Not to mention that you're going to get bigger and more muscled, which will ultimately mean you looking back on your former self and seeing a skinny kid.

Do you see where I'm coming from?

ixoyc · 12-Jan-07, 11:35 AM

yeah i see what you mean, i just thought it would be kind of cool.
maybe i'm having delusions of grandeur or something

man i just had mine 2 years ago and i just wore the jacket. i wouldn't bother with anything else personally... unless your goal is to have people rip on you then beat them up.

ixoyc · 14-Jan-07, 01:12 PM

no, these are not for the yearbook. i already got the one with the suite and tie. Everybody around here gets like other poses and stuff and hands them out to their friends and people. Like students who are really into a sport might have them posing with like a baseball bat or something like that, or outside doing something...
