Wow, a great portrait, I'm sure your client was pleased! He looks as if he's looking up to see if he still has an audience, lol. This looks like a simple portrait, but I'm sure capturing the right moment with a little one, plus getting the right light was still complicated. What was used for light? #1114558

Outstanding portrait of this adorable little guy taken with great side lighting, soft shadow, fine detail and great background, John!! This has to be the perfect shot for your client!!! #7411305

Hi Christine & Melissa,
Thanks for your interest. This shot was particularly fun because I have a great subject and because he has an interesting approach to the drum. I really enjoyed working with this client. Most of the shots were simple product shots, but the kid shots were a lot of fun! Most of them were used with the clothing line on the site. It’s great when you can have such a good time with a client. I used one large light source, a light panel/umbrella combination on camera left and a second light with a smaller umbrella.
Thanks, John Siskin
