A very photogenic, but sad looking little boy. I really like these shots cos you've managed to portray that feeling. |

I've been coming back to these photos all day wondering how to comment on them. I wouldn't presume to advise you on the technical aspects of the shots as you're obviously a fine photographer.
In my view, a portrait is all about making a direct connection between the subject and the viewer. I am reminded of my nightschool photography teacher ( some 30 years ago) who said " if you want to show what your subject looks like...use colour..if you want to show what it feels like...use B/W". This is not always true but I think that your shots here tend to illustrate his point.
Both of these images are very good by any standards. However, I can "feel" your presence in the colour image rather more than I want to. The b/w image is devastatingly direct and powerful. The softness, grain and composition (especially the lighting) only enhance the impact.
Well done |

Hmmm...I thought almost the same thing. Both are moving but in the color one Parker is looking at the photographer and in the BW he is looking at himself. |

Thank YOU for those lovely images.
I hope that this thread attracts a few more commenters as this is quality photography and deserves a little more attention in my opinion.

I really that "quote". It something to remember. When I read it, I wanted to see how the color photo looked in a monotone version, I hope you don't mind Jeremy, but I changed the photo using the Virtual Photographer Plug-in Filter. If you don't like it, I can take it down.
