When it comes to capturing senior portraits that stand out, the location is everything. For Miles Lewis, a passionate skateboarder with a James Dean-esque vibe, we shot at an industrial warehouse area near downtown Raleigh, NC. The raw, gritty surroundings perfectly complemented Miles' laid-back yet edgy style, creating a unique and unforgettable portrait session.
