hello
Was doing a bit of tidying up and found this shot. It was taken a little while back but only worked on it tonight.
In hindsight I think I should have gotten down just a bit lower to take the 2nd eye out of the shot completely. There seems to be a touch of flare, but i dont mind that. The grid from the pavements is probably a touch distracting. Again this may not appeal to everyone in classical portrait sense, but I quite like it and would appreciate criticisms either way.
thanks
you’re being far too hard on yourself-
lovely shot,
wouldn’t change a thing-
well,
maybe a little too saturate and green
in the top left corner,
and in the hairline-j
yeah you are definately being hard on yourself. thats is an absolutely great shot. I really really love it. well done.
Looking at it again the flare is a bit of a mystery. Not sure where it would have come from. The direction of light would have been over my right shoulder more or less behind me. The only thing I can think of is that MAYBE it’s been bounced into the lens from double patio doors that where more in front and to the left (directly behind him).
Hard on myself…..Aren’t we all our own worse critics? :?
Definitely being too hard on yourself.
It’s a lovely shot. I’d be more than happy to have gotten something
as good. Lower on the shot might not have worked quite as well
as this did.Rob.
This is absolutely stunning eas, what a gorgeous little fella :D. You’ve got a great little model there. Colour, DOF, composition, expression – all spot on. very very very nice. :)
thanks again for the comments.
He is a great model (for me anyhow). He accounts for about 90% of my (leisure) photography these days. Even though I also have a lovely daughter, she’s only 6 months old and usually ends up tipping over whenever I point my camera at her. :(
I know I’m biased being his father and all, but often wonder if he can make me a bit of cash on the side as a child model. I should add that I know nothing about modling and probably wouldnt consider it if I knew what was involved. Also “make me a bit of cash” really means putting it away for his college fund. :cry:
here he is in full model mode : feel free to critique
cracking shots :D. I’ll probably be stoned for offering you advise on kiddy modelling. *runs for cover*.

Thanks Rob. Very nice compliment there. TBH children and a photography obsession work quite well together. :D

You could contact assets commercial section.Thanks Ali, I’ll have a look, but until he can drive himself to his shoots……it probably wont work out. :lol:
Indeed, definitely much too hard on yourself for what is IMO an absolutely brilliant shot. The reflections in his eyes, the lovely colour in his cheeks, the great DOF… fantastic work. Definite shame about the flare, but what can ya do, right?
thanks rimagirl
for the first one I used a lovely overcast evening…….
For the 2 “model” shots, aside from some natural window light, I used 2 Nikon sb800s with diffusers both set off camera. From what I can remember one pointed at him from below and one bouncing off a white ceiling. Honestly I’m not overly experienced with lighting set ups and think I got this to work by luck more than anything.
