my beautiful boy

Another portrait of Abe – found this one taken a couple of months ago and couldn’t believe how quickly he is growing up.

This is lovely Deb, has a real vintage feel to it! =)
Deborah Parkin, about 1 year ago

thanks Kelly – when I saw it last night it felt like an Victorian/Edwardian schoolboy photo and that was probably why i was drawn to it. You can probably tell by now that I do like my portraits to feel old/tradional.

This definately has an ‘old world’ feeling about it Deb. The contrast is beautiful and so is Abe. Your work is wonderful.
Deborah Parkin, about 1 year ago

thanks Sylvia – your input means so much to me.
Andrew Bosman, about 1 year ago

Quite stunning Deb, and as the lovely ladies above mentioned, very early 1900s feel.
Paul Vanzella, about 1 year ago

Stunning work – has an almost timeless quality about it!
Deborah Parkin, about 1 year ago

Your children are so lucky to have such a talented mum! ;)) Great and unique photos; I love the black and white also for children and your timeless refined style!

Hi Deborah
I’ve been reading the comments on My Beautiful girl and would like to say that after looking through your potfolio, I think your work is wonderful. I also love black and white photos and you have given me new inspiration to add more to my portfolio. It seems obvious to most of us that art is subjective and some people will love what others don’t (you can’t please evryone all the time!) so stick with what you love – I’m sure you will anyway! (oh and the reason I commented whilst viewing My beautiful boy, is that this is one of my favourites)

thanks everyone – I do agree Lisa – you really can’t please everyone – 37 years old and still learning that lesson.

Your B&W’s are stunning Deborah and your children are great models!
Sarah Matthews, about 1 year ago

Absolutely stunning, you have captured an intrueging expression and the soft texture of the image helps with the traditional approach without feeling cold.
camneville, about 1 year ago

beautiful portrait with lighting used to great effect….gorgeous…..!
Lisadee, about 1 year ago

Oh that is so beautiful, a lovely sensitive portrait of your boy. Not only is he exquisite – so is this shot. I have two sons and can really appreciate this. I could waffle on forever about this.

Beautiful- like the soft focus, the colour and the sad eyes
Antoine Dagobert, about 1 year ago

The soft focus works nicely to add appeal. Nice light and tones
Sean Farragher, about 1 year ago

K.D. Hemi, about 1 year ago

cdwork sums it up for me too…sad eyes … i like the texture you’ve gained with the boys hair… cool stuff ..

drool....He looks like a little boy from a Dickens story….Well born, but having a bit of a rough patch….I love the treatment…
Urbanform, 11 months ago

Absolutely stunning children. How lovely that their mum has captured a part of their childhood so beautifully. Really a stunning piece
elfevans, 11 months ago

A very fine image you’ve made…keep ‘em commin
AngelArtist, 10 months ago

Is this your boy? He looks so beautiful, liek an angel.
Ozcloggie, 7 months ago

Agree with the Edwardian/Victorian idea. When I saw the thumbnail I thought of painters from that era and their subjects.
AnGeLLe, 7 months ago

I could comment on every one. The way you photograph these children is just beautiful
Nicolas Hall, 6 months ago

This is such a beautiful portrait. .. he seems to be a very old soul. . . or one very connected to the innate knowledge of the world we live in. . .so much in those eyes.
