Hi all,
I've been commissioned to do a portrait of a brother and sister, 9 and 13 years of age. I really want this portrait to turn out good. I've been to their house and made loads of photos, but am not very experienced in taking reference photos, and could not get the kids to sit nicely together. So I've got hundreds of photos of them seperate, (in the ones they are together, at least one is pulling a face
).
From these photos I hope to compose a good portrait. Please, please help me out. I've got six options so far. The parents/clients want an relatively informal portrait. The boy especially is a restless kid who is always busy and about.
I hope you don't mind if I post all six options....
Here's No. 1:
Rather plain and simple, but maybe good for that.
