or was he playing till the end ?

I'm unable to do such shots of my son. He can't be serious when he's OK to be shot, or he's hiding himself. I'm certainly a bad portrait photographer ! Or a bad Dad !

Super shot.

if he can help it. He always has to make a silly faces, and I have to catch him between those. My daughter on the other hand is a natural.

thanks for this happiness !

Post-process for black background I suppose. Well done.

I placed a diffused 5500k light to one side and shot in M mode until I go the shutter speed just right. I ended up with about 1/80 second at f2.8.

From a shadow perspective I like the first two. If I consider the eyes (color), then the last one - where the face shadows might be a little complicated for a portrait.

Portraits are difficult.

sit still and moved into the shadow of the camera in that last one. I had the light high and to his left side. He was supposed to turn into the light but obviously he just could not. I love his eyes in that one but wish the shadow play was like the B&Ws.

While I've been watching how your girl is looking more like you, There's something in your son's look and smile that remembers me of your wife. Good combination eh?

and height, but my son has my wife's nose, eye shape and those big puffy cheeks. My daughter has my chin, cheeks forehead and eye shape. Good observations!
