Hopes & Dreams

Another really good shot Damian. The look in the mothers eyes is timeless.

Thanks Lisadee, just a brief moment of calm too :)

Thank you Steve!

Ripper Damian, the words match the shot perfectly. Well done.

There’s such a lovely softness to this photo. It’s beautiful. The mother and baby both have gorgeous smooth skin too!

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Leia :)
I’ll pass on your comments, they’ll get a big smile I’m sure!

This is very good. I can feel the emotional moment. Nice work.

Thanks Vonnie, that’s nice of you to say :)

There’s something about this take Damian, captured a really nice quality here, cant quite put my finger on it but it’s great, well done.

lovely Damien and loving – great photo!

this is beautiful – I think every mother (especially with young ones) can empathise with this.

Thanks Kalb, I know what you mean.

Thanks Suzanne!

Thanks Deborah, I think you’d be right – that feeling of tiredness mixed with happy :)

Very nice and I think you hit it on the head when you said tired but happy. That is exactly what her face says to me. I like the blue hue to it.

Thanks Rhondaloner, I think that’s the truth of it :)

Damian, this is such a heartfelt portrait, full of tenderness.

What a beautiful, natural and pure image.

Thanks a lot Chris, I appreciate it.

Thanks funkyfacestudio :)

This is so beautiful…I love the profile of the little one and the expression on the mothers face…can certainly relate to the fatique aspect….just wish i looked that beautiful when i was so tired!

Thanks artemis :)
There’s something to be said for capturing a fleeting moment, as a posed one has a different feel. I’m sure you’d have a beautiful moment amidst the tiredness lol (as for me, I’m behind the camera hehe, luckily)

This is precious, the depth of love is conveyed to the viewer is tangible. Thank you :)))

Thanks Lisa, I’m glad you thought so :)

She has really a lovely pretty face….. Something in her eyes goes to the photographer, and all the serenity of the moment is there, as the eye of the viewer convey to the baby.
I may not express my feeling correctly Damian, but this photo touches my heart. Beautifully done.

Thanks marie-ancolie, I understand you perfectly, thank you for saying so!

Thanks for the message on “the sandpiper” Damian. I don’t have your email address..otherwise I would have sent it to you directly.
Wish you and yours a nice evening.

That’s okay Marie, I was glad I stopped by to read it. An email address I’m using here is –

Your description sums it up perfectly Damian. Nicely captured.

I expect my own expression will be similar soon, with the imminent arrival of our twins.

OMG mate – twins! Congrats – I think your expression will be one of fatigue for sure, but twice the smiles straight up too :)

Thanks mate!! we’re both very excited and shitting ourselves at the same time. I work from home so I will be able to share all the smiles and then disappear into the office at the first sign of trouble LOL

Oh yeah, I remember that feeling. The mix of terror and joy! I also tried to not smile too much at your plan of disappearing into the office LOL!

great portrait-a family classic. I thought immediately of Dorthea Lange’s photo as well.

Thanks Elena, I’m glad you saw it too :)
Migrant Mother is such a wonderful shot.

This is such an emotive photo especially in the monochrome.

Thanks Naomi, I’m glad you thought so :)

Need a great sense to take this one…and you did it perfectly…very classic touch! best regards

Thanks a lot Antoine, that’s nice of you to say so!

“Wow this is really good” is what came to mind when I saw this

Thanks a lot Skitz, glad you thought so :)

Love it

Thanks Sorin!

A beautiful shot….

She really is making the most of the ten seconds peace she has before the little one loses interest in whatever is off to the left and starts running riot again.

i love the lighting too. Keep up the good work mate

Thanks arodmell, you’ve got it! Might not have even been 10 seconds hehe! Glad you like it.

Beautiful portrait …...so natural …

Just noted your comment about Dorothea Lange’s magnificent photo .. it does have that feel …

Thanks Phil, glad you like it, and could see what I meant about Dorothea Lange :)

Great Photo jurno shot. Makes you wonder …...

Thanks Hazel, I appreciate that!

The second I saw the thumb of this work I thought of Dorothea Lange. It runs chills up my spine with all the great emotion.

Thanks Von, I really appreciate that!

A lovely natural capture and this is perfect for black and white. The expression on the mothers face. The bond between Mother and Child. The expression of love, tiredness or maybe just simply…....”You could have at least waited for me to put some make-up on”

a gentle portrait. You must be so proud of your work. It documents a depth of feelings, of love that goes to the soul of your subjects.

Nice B &W portrait, her expression was caught at the perfect moment.

As a mother, I can really appreciate the emotion in her eyes. You captured it perfectly Damian.
