Another picture I took in my parents back garden last Sunday. I’m loving the way the bright sunshine makes everything stand out in sharp contrasts. I also love the candid nature of the picture and the fact that he just looks so sweet!
Linking up to the Black and White Photography project over at Podcast The Doves again.
Bless him, his hair looks nearly white, lovely photo x
We all seem to start off like this and then in seeps the mousy brown later!
Stunning picture, his hair looks so white against the dark background. Both of mine are the same, love the concentration in his face too #bwphotoproject
Thanks – his hair is even whiter now with all this sunshine!! 🙂
What a cutie 🙂 #bwphotoproject
Thanks Vicky! I think he’s pretty cute but of course I’m a bit biased 🙂
Yes, I like the shadows as well-my blonde haired boy looks good in black and white too 🙂
I guess its either blondies or jet black that works best in this kind of light…
Sam this is so beautiful #bwphotoproject
Aw, thanks Jaime! Good subject matter X
Gorgeous photo. I love the contrasts too xx
Thanks hon. It was fun trying out the b&w with portraits of my boys – I think they are more like professional portrait shots than anything I’ve ever taken before…
Great shot!
Blonde hair looks fab in black and white – striking! x
Thanks! It is striking isn’t it? 🙂
This is really good – I’d have picked up on the lighting and expression too.
The lighting reminds me of snaps people take in Spain and Portugal. Do you have any plans to go??? I think you’d take some amazing pictures out there.
I guess it has that kind of lighting because of the bright summer’s day and the position of the sun at this time of year but sadly, no, no plans to visit those lovely countries at this time!
Lovely in black and white.
It does look good doesn’t it? 🙂
Loving the concentration on his face here. So cute 🙂
Such a beautiful expression on his face, and I love how his hair almost glows. Fab photo Sam x
Ah, if it’s half as good as the pictures you take of your gorgeous children I’ll be happy X
Very sweet photo 🙂
Thanks honey. As I mentioned in a previous reply, I do feel like these pictures I’ve taken in black and white (and with an eye to being a bit more artistic) are, I feel, the closest to professional quality portraits I’ve ever managed…
Ooh this is wonderful Sam. I love the contrast in the photo and being in B&W seems to really draw you in too. Just beautiful, thanks for joining in #bwphotoproject
He looks totally adorable and you wonder what he’s thinking #bwphotoproject
