Austin
This was the hardest commission I've done. The little boy passed away in a tragic accident, along with his friend and his friend's mother. As such, I couldn't take my own photo; I had to invent a background that was close to the field where he used to ride his motorcycle; and I had to create different lighting than the photo. The pressure was high to do a great job--as for all posthumous portraits--but I felt a particularly great responsibility on this one. I went tighter than I like to because I was so worried about getting it just right. I'm still waiting for a reply from Mom, but I hope she likes it:
Austin 24x36:
(PS the photo isn't the best because my DSLR just pooped out. This is from my less-than-stellar point and shoot)
