Ben! This is sooooo fantastic! First off, I LOVE your son’s expression! It totally made me smile :) His whole face is expressive but you can especially see it in his eyes. I love the composition, the black and white, and the lighting is fantastic! As always you have presented top quality work :)

Having built in models is a real bonus, I have two of my own. How many kids will grow up with images like these of themselves. Well done.

Thanks Glenn, the boys are great and it will be nice to have these photos around in the years to come. Cheers Ben
