Child black and White portrait photography

I have had a recent run on child portraits here in Cornwall and this is one of my latest set. The requirement here was to get some photographs of children playing, presented in a “different” way. Black and white shots were the order of the day.

Getting that feeling of trust is the most important aspect. Playing armies was the way to get this young man in the mood to pose for photographs. Shooting at long range, then getting up close as the bond built.

The idea was not to capture a perfect pose, but capture something interesting with a particular aspect and setting.  That said, I am always surprised at the photographs parents choose. Often not the one I would have selected, hence why I provide a number of different captures to suite different requirements.
