Change Specialties - Childrens Photography

[scootermcq]

I thought if I was getting into children's photography, I should start with my own Nephew.

Here is Baby Josh:


35mm
ISO200
F/9
1/320

OK, seriously, I was asked to do promo shots for wrestling. Does this work, or am I overboard again?

I know it's against the 'rules', but I would have like if he were more centered in the image. The lighting looks good, although the skin tone of his body is a bit redder than his face. His pose/expression isn't very 'wrestler' though.

It's a nice shot though.

It's a nice shot, nice lighting and all...but it says beefcake rather than wrestling. I don't see wrestling...not a wrestling outfit, no head gear, not in a wrestling pose...

I agree 100%... and to take it further... that necklace really needs to go and the pants are really unflattering... and is that flaccid penis bulge I see

His hair also kinda blends in with the background.

Thanks.... I appreciate the feedback. I'm gonna have to tell the kid to put the bronzing oil on his face too, or lay off on the body.

That actually is the outfit he wrestles in. This is WWE style, so no head gear etc. His stage name is Johnny Wave, hence the blue tights.

Thanks for the feedback.... I have been biting my tongue, but here it is..... I thought the image would be better if the Penis was flaccid (versus the alternative), otherwise I would have to post in another section.

Can you imagine the flak a male would get for posting a remark like this about a female subject? No, not one with a flaccid penis bulge, but you get my drift. So, if we post photographs of males in the critique section, would this be something we need to take into account?

Scott, I agree with the colour tones re face/body, but I would prefer to see something with more of a wrestling stance - a bit crouched, arms out and ready to grapple with the expression to match. Still a nice shot though!

So what was your wrestling moniker - Dicky Knees?
