Concept shoots can be a great way to build your portfolio and showcase your work, especially if you are trying to get noticed by seniors in a certain high school.

“I photographed a senior concept shoot to try and get my name into another school,” said April Smith. “I wanted a vintage theme with a couple of props!”
