His mother wanted a "Nice" portrait of him so I said OK - He was a young lad who always looked prim and proper - He went to private school etc. I asked him if he wanted to do something different and he was really up for it - So I asked him to go back in the house and collects some old jeans, scruffy shoes and a T-shirt he normally does not wear. His mum packed him off in the car with me (We knew each other through family by the way) His hair all done etc - We then drove to a location I had seen many times before - Ruffed up his hair and took the pic - After the initial shock his mum loved the pic and put it pride of place in the home.

couldn't resist taking a closer look at this photo after seeing the thumbnail on your profile page. and it pays off!

love the sepia treatment, and i have to say, this resembles some CD cover! wonderful work.

Gosh, this is fantastic. The setting is out of the realm of his clean cut look, which really makes it impactful. Great tones throughout. Bravo.

What an awesome story! And a genius idea to take a portrait of a little boy from the ordinary to the extraordinary!

The tones and processing this are just beautiful!!! Maybe his mom will let him be a "real kid" more often now :)

Wonderful shot! A young man and his kingdom, it appears. I love the processing and find the whole setting, including the one shoe, to be quite intriguing.
