Bond....

Bond....

I know that in an artistic sense this is quite simple, however to me it has great meaning. The image is of my two boys who are also the best of friends. They have an unbreakable bond and here, they are doing something they love; just being together.

Bond.... belongs to the following groups:

    This is such a touching picture. You can tell how close they are from their body language. I love the colours and treatment you have given this. If it’s not too rude, was wondering how you achieved this effect?

    Sometimes the more simple the image appears, the more complicated it comes over! I love your approach to your photography, they always look so beautiful. I love the vignetting effect and the colour hues of turquoise which just adds to the artistic flare!

    I think it’s great Basia. Made so much better by the story behind it. How cool for your kids to see this when they’ve grown up. I have a shot of my twin brother and me holding hands at the beach when we were around three. I love it. (Might even be the same beach!)

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thanks Miranda! Yes, I guess my favourite subject to capture is my kids relationship with each other ;o) This one was taken at Safety Beach.
