Bailey and Jacob

[NJ]

went to my sisters to get some photos of her new boy Bailey with her partner's 7 y.o. son Jacob.

Used a large window next to the couch they were sitting on. 17-55 @ 55m, f/4, 800ISO





with their dad...


Jacob is one very photogenic kid!

Very nice series Nathan. Just shows that you don’t need the bells and whistles in lighting systems to get excellent results.

Beautiful series.
Curiously - what was the backdrop/background used in the first, third and last images?

[NJ]

thanks guys

geoff, i didnt use a backdrop. He was sitting on a dark blue couch which was almost rendered as black. i made sure my viewpoint was high enough so that the couch filled the frame as the walls surrounding were white.

for the 3rd image though, there was white wall at the top above his arms so i just selected the white areas and made them black

Beautifully taken images showing great skill and sensitivity Nathan. #3 and the last are superb.
cheers

Very nicely done, and such a simple approach!

Pick of the bunch for me is the second one - DOF is just perfect, and composition really sings to me. Tones and B&W conversion just work so well.

Well done, you've gotta be happy with these

yeah i have to say i was pretty stoked with the results, they were too
