Baby Shoot - Think i like grown up models better lol!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

mmm... on first peek I'd have to agree Dan... and I'm guessing that your subject has thoughts along similar lines... hehehe.

i'm gonna say something that i never, ever, ever thought i'd be saying in one of your photo threads Dan...they're bloody awful. :lol:

in all seriousnous though, there aint much you can do if the kid is in a bad mood. i've had to abandon shoots if i cant get babies cooperating. once they get to 1 year old you can normally snap em out of a bad mood by acting the clown, offering treats etc. looks like theres alot of lighting in those shots. you probably scared the crap outta the little fella mate !

Well i think awful is a little harsh i was going for a specific look with the images really high key and make a point of the blue eyes...client loves them so i guess thats a win :)

I must say also that brief was to do something very different and a little out there..

I still got paid :)

#1 - The colours in this shot are just so sublime to the point of being ethereal, love it!

#2 - “You’re gonna what?”

#3 - “Oh! Really”

#4 - “Bugger off or I’ll tell my Mum about you”

Love em all Dan and keep thinking outside the box :up:
