Measuring tape black & white child pictures. After all, he's growing fast!
Sometimes I have more than one project on the go for my emotive child pictures
These are my personal photography pictures that I do in between my lovely family photography Dublin clients
I love emotive, cinematic black & white child portraits. With awesome window light, even a tiny slither, I can make magic moments
Sometimes to make these portraits more interesting, I might use a prop that is close at hand. In this case we were using a tape measure for a homework project and I thought - well, why not? My son is growing by the day. Almost 13! I liked the way a tape measure could be a metaphor for growing & for time. I liked how stark the numbers on the tape measure are when in clear focus...
I am still going through the best pictures for our mini at home Dublin photo shoot. The best emotive child portraits are the ones with the most compelling expression & gesture. They are the expressions I find the most enigmatic. Or the ones when I feel the most connection through the lens! Mama & boy moments that set my heart a flutter. The prop is just an entry point & we can do away with it at any point too...
I also love TEXTURE in a picture. My eye will take in all the edges of a frame, particularly for a black & white child portrait to take in all points of interest. So, in these, I bring out the texture of light & shade on the carpet using my sharpening tool
And here's another trick I love to do. Experimenting with rotating my child portrait. Flipping it vertically, horizontally. Rotating it clockwise & anti clockwise to find the best composition. It can be super interesting to compare a flipped portrait to the way we originally saw the picture through the lens. Personal work is a time to play!
More from my tape measure child portrait series. I am also working on more child portraits with out new french bulldog puppy. More on the blog of these soon! Can't wait to share my favorite puppy moments!
