Rocky’s senior pictures session brought out the intensity of his personality, his passion for MMA, and his dedication to street skateboarding. When Rocky decided on his location, there was only one option for him: downtown Detroit. And he didn’t just want to capture typical shots; he wanted photos that reflected his lifestyle and his edge. Our focus on skateboard senior portraits turned the Detroit streets into the ultimate setting for Rocky’s session, using the urban landscape to showcase his skills and style.
We kicked off his session in the early morning, letting the quiet streets add a sense of rawness and grit to the shots. Rocky wanted his photos to reflect not only his style on the skateboard but also his intense training for MMA, which gave us a chance to mix things up with dynamic poses. Whether he was holding his skateboard mid-air or setting up for a punch, Rocky’s photos came out as unique as his personality—bold, raw, and full of energy. Capturing him in action shots was a priority, so we moved through a few skateboarding-friendly areas where he could show off his moves on the rails and ledges.
He used the streets to do what he does best—ride and grind on his board with intensity, the city around him fading into the background. This allowed us to incorporate more movement-focused shots, adding even more energy to his skateboard senior portraits. Finally, we capped things off with some strong portrait shots at the DIA, allowing Rocky’s personality and interests to shine through.
