Grafitti Child

Excellent work Deb.

Superb work Deb, so intense! :D

That’s soooo brilliant Deborah!....the way you framed this shot is as good as it gets.

the light and tone is suberb! I like the split in the middle…great portrait

Very nice work Deb

Stunning work Deb. Love the serious, somewhat defiant expression and the fact that his eyes are shaded, all elements work together very well.

Like the hidden eyes. Gives a sense of mystery.

wonderful Deborah fantastic work, a super portrait.
Rich.

Stunning as always

Love it Deb. He looks Much Older and wiser than a child here. Very Solemn young man here.

Great work Debs….packed with angst!....I can here him now….’is this face bovvered’.....’so what if I done it!’ .......did that face take practice and coaching or is it natural?Lol

awesome b&w

Amazing!

Oh my…
I am blown away.

!!! The clarity, shadows and smoothness all about the head are seriously impressive.
What a stunner!!!

Great image Deborah, love the lighting and the graffiti

Wow…you did such an amazing job on this…perfect!

Wonderful portrait. I like the ways the bangs obscure part of his face. There is something a little bit rebellious with that stance and it goes well with the urban motif of having the graffiti to the side.

Really like the feel to this, really really good capture.

Such a beautiful image Deb i love everything about this piece. I can’t wait to see more from the series x

fantastic b/w

“Stunning” . . . absolutely superb photography.

Deborah- you have such an identifiable style, your work just oozes quality- the perspective, the glorious tones and textures and the subject material are all top notch, well done.

Well – perfect!!

hi Deb, having the eyes in shade adds mystery to the portrait and give the lad a strength beyond his years. great control over highlight and shadows

wonderful use of b&w. he looks intense and mature beyond his years. great capture. some mop of hair, looks like a beatle :)

amazing portrait !
b&w really perfect !
and his face so emotional

Emotive it is! Excellent work, Deb.

A great story made more so by your wonderful use of light and shadow

perfect shot and tones

Just perfect…cannot add anymore than what has already been said above! Brilliant!

excellent shot!

You are such a star Deb…Gorgeous image…Trying? I think you have succeeded..xx

Sensational stuff Deb

lovely deb – love the light and of course your b & w conversion is perfect!

The shadow mask around the eyes really makes this say attitude.

Great work Deborah !!

Fantastic capture! Great lighting and shadow, great model! Well done!

What I love most about this shot is the fringe skimming the eyes. Gives him a very introspective side. The light is fabulous too.

Stunning & awesome portrait, love the B&W, great shadows

i love this Debs…..........the lighting on the face is brilliant

Abe’s acting and camera prescence is extra amazing. Coupled with your artistic vision Deb, ....... what a team…..... what a force of art.

great capture, well done

‘Emotive portraits’ is a difficult project, I think. But I see and feel the emotion, absolutely. The unpleasant and cold and harsh environment creates a lot of emotion already. For me it is the uncomfortable feeling of being in a bad place (or state of mind). The fact that I can’t see his eyes emphesizes the emotion. The inner light is invisible. Someone who is lost in a place where he shouldn’t be … that is the emotion I feel with this image. I think you did a great job.

Beautifull portrait. very dramatic use of light. Well done.

Stunning as usual DP, you portray such emotion, splendid work

Brilliant work once again Deb! I love the composition, his mood, the tones, shadows and light, you are a sooooo good at this!!

Wow really like your stuff!!!!

Great framing. Beautiful as always Deborah.

Great picture! I love this composition, and your black and whites are gorgeous!

Wow.. this is brilliant! Absolutely stunned by this one.. firstly the clarity and the tones really grab me and the composition is just perfect. The background is so simple yet adds so much and the light is just perfect with a brilliant mood to the whole piece… amazing depth to those B+W tones. This is where silver is golden!

emotive portraiture at its finest – I totally concur with Tupmans super “silver is golden” comment

Stunning work Deb, i wouldn’t expect anything less though :) The lighting on his face is wonderful…
I hope you made him clean the grafitti after you had finished, Blyth is such a clean area LOL

Amazing image Deb…the lighting is just so perfect…..the fact that you cant see the eyes adds just the right amount of mystery to the shot…The subdued expression is really what makes this image so powerful…..you really wonder what is going on in their minds at this age..the image is perfectly framed in the shot to reveal the graffitti…..One of my FAVS of yours for sure Deb

It is well-nigh impossible for a child to avoid the culture of his or her time – it has always been so. One could conjure up the cultures of so many ages and see a child like this one with that perplexed contemplation of their place in the present reality. This is sombre, thought-provoking and easily transcends the bounds of a mere exercise.

I love the light and shadows here, what a face he has…......darling !

this is absolutely stunning Deborah I really love the way Abe is looking wonderful

stunning work,Well done…
