 My son. He's cool.

This was actually shot with a 7D and 70-200 L glass I had borrowed from a friend for a wedding.

He doesn't look very happy about being 14. Great portrait though.

Great emotional portrait. And i like the black and white.

Beautifully done. The low key presentation, ironically, makes it that much more revealing.

Nice lighting. The hoodie definitely adds a bit of a mood to the model.. but it fits perfectly with the 14th year! LOL

A very good portrait. He looks older than 14 - and entirely too serious! Very well done.

This is a very good portrait. I like the composition, but I do find myself wondering how it would look as a 6x7 portrait instead of landscape...

That said, the head positioning, POV slightly below eye level, the spill of light in the background to give separation, b/w conversion and exposure are great. It's all done with subtlety, which allows a little of that authenticity to shine through from your subject.

Great tones. Something he can proudly look back on in future years.
