Like father, like son

6th March 2015

 

When out and about it’s always a temptation to shoot from the hip, grab a moment, capture a frame …
This wee snapshot was from a stroll in Ukraine. I ‘ve said before that I believe questioning a shot is essential and often the images I decide not to take outweigh those I do. Contradictorily, when I’m unsure I often throw caution to the wind and press the button to find out. I don’t favour it at all, but when it’s in my hand Ill often shoot more with a digital camera. It offers no punishment (except usual disappointment and slight regret) and it’s often fun to look back on these images, even just as a reminder of the trips

The second image , as I am late (shock horror.) is from the StraightatlkingProject shoot. This little rascal (and his son) were intertwined. Fitting so many parents and their children into a one-day shoot turned out to be surprisingly fluid. The kids were patient and totally game and watching the unique way in which each parent and child bonded was refreshing.
