Another from my shoot with Tim. This one is unusual – because it’s in colour.
Please note the perfect Rembrandt (the triangle of light on Tim’s cheek).

When I’m learning new things, in this case trying to balance the ambient light with flash, it’s good to have a patient model.

My photography class finished tonight. Where did that eight weeks go?
This image won the approval of my tutor for lots of technical reasons: leading lines, diminishing perspective, repetition, lines, colour, texture, framing a subject within a subject …
I just like it because it has Tim in it!

Getting into some lighting – just to see how it works and how it looks.
It looks pretty good!

Tim decided to take a closer look into my lens.

I’m officially/formally learning about photography and each week we’re given three words to interpret. One of those words this week was ‘step’.
Here’s my interpretation (with thanks to my wonderful model, Tim).

With four older brothers, little Miss Izzy is a real attention-seeker. All she has to do is squeak and she has an audience of doting brothers ready to do what they can to entertain her. No wonder she’s such a happy baby.

This concludes my little series of little (and big) personalities. It was great to have ‘models’ to practice my portraiture on, but as they’ve all gone home, I’ll have to think of something else to photograph.
Eight-year old Ronan has a cheeky personality. And a beautiful smile. His caring nature has shone through since his baby sister arrived, and he loves nothing more than to make her laugh.

Here’s another little person with a big personality.
Seven-year old Jack has a strong mind and a strong body – made stronger by Shen Martial Arts. He’s a lovely boy to spend time with one-on-one; he’s interested in the world around him and that makes for interesting conversations.

The second in my little series of little people with big/lovely/gentle/exuberant personalities.
Jordy’s personality fits into the lovely and gentle categories. He’s a very sweet little boy and gives the best hugs.
