Joy2
The woman in these series of pics was a model for me prior to becoming a mother. She always had such a deep and powerful precence about her. I felt so priviliged to be able to capture these images. There is just so much joy between mother and son.
I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops.

Gorgeous shot!:)
Barbara Sparhawk
Wonderfully pretty, their level of comfort with each other contagious. It looks like you have a nice trust built up with your models, there’s little that’s self-conscious. You’re probably just as good with spoken words.
Tony Ryan
Thanks Barbara,
I think capturing people in their true essence is so hard and so rewarding when achieved. Most people ijn front of a camera don’t even seem aware to how self conscious they can be.

Beautiful joyful image Tony, I’m sure it’s one she will treasure;)
Cathy Middleton
Oh that’s so beautiful. So natural. Gorgeous.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Cathy,
Think much of the impact is from the honesty in the energy of the mother and child. Many subjects freeze or put on false fronts when a camera is pointed at them. Children are usually not so worried about this but adults seem more conscious of their image. Marietta was so in the moment in these shots and I think it really shows.
Best Wishes Tony.

I see that I never commented on this shot! Unbelievable as I keep coming back to it every so often. I love it, it’s such a special, genuine moment in the life of these 2 people. This is what Henri Cartier Bresson was talking about when the talked about “catching the moment”
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks very much Peter. I love capturing the moment in my shots and am trying very hard to live in the moment these days.
