Country Boys Can Survive

A teacher-friend's son, Caleb. He was a JOY to photograph.

Pics were taken at an old Creole house in French Settlement, La.

C&C Welcome. Some have been PS'd.

Those are all really nice.

1
I really like this one. If they are displayed together there is an obvious difference in the color/ lightness of the eyes.

2
love the expression. I like the de-saturation. I am wondering what it would look like slightly warmer. When you contrast this one and the next one, it is a little ghostly.

3
this is my favorite. great skin tones. Great expression.

4
is this one a little blue, or is the background fooling me?

5
i really like this one too. Nothing but good to say about it.

These are all great.

Thanks Josh! He was such a Joy! Just a happy kid all the time...of course his dad is that way (even though I wouldn't tell him that - haha).

The background on the fourth one is a bit tricky. It's great with his eyes, but tends to put a blue feel to the whole pic. I have some other really good ones that I will post later.

As far as number one...it's a photo tools preset called funky senior. I don't know if it works on this pic, but I thought I'd try it. Number two is not ps'd but number 3 has a color boost...thus the difference in the skin tone. He is VERY FAIR. So number 2 is more of his natural skin tone.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I do this in my spare time, but I love it!

You did some of amazing jobs on this set of shots. I like these different styles very much! :ivar

The eyes look a bit too bright on the 4th shot but I think they are very nice.

neastguy

these are fantastic.. !! like them all:D

Mitchell

What an adorable, little boy. I really like #2. Excellent shot!!

What is the texture you have in #1 and how was it applied. It is very complimentary with the subject and the desaturation.

What a terrific bunch of photos! Quite cute too!

cheers, tom

Oh great. Now that song is going to be stuck in my head.

These are super photos! What a cutie pie!
You did a fantastic job on the entire set.

(I echo the comment about the blue on #4, but dial that back a bit and you have another winner!)

Oh, isn't he a doll?! The light and expression in #2 are terrific! I like the texture in 1, but I might be tempted to mask it out a bit on his face, just my .02. These are all sweet!

Hi Eva...long time no see!!!

I am reallin liking #2 and #5. I like the comp in #1, but the texture, I think, takes away from the image.

So tell me....are you shooting weddings yet? I have one to shoot in April and may need an assist.
