 SENIOR PORCH-TRAITS offer from Berkeley Times!!!
During these strange and challenging times, Berkeley Times is now scheduling photo shoots for any high school graduate within the community of Berkeley who schedules a photo shoot before June 14. Once captured, the porch-trait will then be published in the upcoming Graduation Edition, which will be circulated on Thursday, June 25. Working with professional portrait photographer (and Berkeley resident) Louis Bryant III, we will drive up at the scheduled time, and shoot a series of photographs of the graduate on their front porch while respecting "social distancing" practices.

The only requirement is that the student be graduating from a Berkeley high school, and that they present themselves in an honoring way (cap & gown, varsity uniform, etc.). Due to social distancing standards, groups are not allowed. Individual portraits only. For an example of a senior porch-trait, see the sample attached below (the pictured graduating senior is Berkeley Times intern Max Sklar (BHS AHA); and that's photographer Louis Bryant III on the right).

Louis and Todd are now scheduling shoots every half hour (each lasting just 10 minutes) on certain dates and times from June 3 - 14.

To schedule a porch-trait, graduating seniors should contact Todd Kerr directly (510 332 7572, editor at berkeleyx.org <mailto:editor at berkeleyx.org>).If there's popular demand (and resources), B-X will consider shooting senior porch-traits during the week of of June 15, schedule TBD.
