My aunt recently asked me to shoot my cousin's senior pictures. This would be a first for me...even shooting anything other than shots for my own consumption. Like I told her, it's free, so if she's not happy, she's no worse off.


Anyway, at my disposal are T2i, EF-S 17-55 f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, and 430EXII flash, post-process with Aperture (could have others if would be better)


I assume he'll want outdoors, and I'll push him that way anyway for quality of shots.


I guess my question covers both capture and post-processing: What are some useful tips regarding poses, scenes, locations, etc.? I know he's a baseball player, so I'll incorporate that somehow. Also, what are the best things to do post-process for these types of photos? I'm usually just shooting my kids so nothing too terribly artistic.





Thanks in advance!
