This weekends theme on the FroKnowsPhoto website was Time Waits for Noone and my original idea was to shoot my little nephew – who's now nearly 20months old – looking up at my father. I've been struggling with portraits and really wanted to get a good solid portrait for the contest so I stuck with it and got a few of just my nephew.
Directing a 20 month little boy is tough though. Lines like "where's the window", "whats in the sky?", and "show me the tree, Riley" seemed to definitely get the gazeful look I was after and I ended up with these photographs.
I'd passed him my watch to 'play' with to, although he did nearly throw it into the hearth a few times.
I think the photos were definitely helped by the subject, he looks so adorable in his little jumper.
And this is the one that actually made it through into the Top Five of the week from the FroKnowsPhoto website. So proud of the photograph and sticking with and persevering with the portrait idea has definitely helped.
If you'd like to know more about the photos, or the processing, please leave a comment below and I'll write a quick post about those too.
If I could take five more seconds of your time to vote for the photo on the FroKnowsPhoto website, then please follow this link here and vote for me, DNGRMS in the vote box half way down the page.
Thanks guys, see you all anon!
Chris
