Black & White Angle

Posted under Black & White, Critiqued, Portrait

Black & White AnglePhotographing children, boys in particular, can be a challenge.  At a certain age they want to ham it up in front of the camera to the point that it is not worth the effort to try to get a serious image.  But there can be moments where they come across with personality and character.

This young man, apparently at a formal affair, was captured at one of those moments where his inner self and personality were showing through the outer child.  We can invasion him fifteen or twenty years from now as a key player is a similar function, perhaps as the bridegroom.  He looks so grown up, so serious and proud.

There are a couple of suggestions I would like to make to the photographer.  It might be nice if we could crop the image a little to take the subject a slightly more off the center of the composition.  If the photographer has access to a computer software package that will allow a little cloning the light above and to the right of center on the edge of the frame could be cloned out.

  1. This is a photo of my eldest son at his First Communion. I looked over at him and he gave me this devilish little smile, I thought it was ever so fitting for this event.

    Thanks for the input
    Regards,
