It was kind of on the fly. I wanted a portrait of him, but he is very shy, so i took him out for breakfast and snapped and snapped while he was talking. I got a bunch of great shots. This one is special because he was thinking a solution to a particularly painful issue I was having.
great grab shygrrl..I think one of the things I love about photography is how it demands you to capture the bare bones of what the subject means to you in that little moment..I like how you’ve softened this against his ‘rockstar-ness’ to convey what you see in your bro to make your heart swell..this pic has inspired me to get into portraits more..xL
This is so sweet and so touching. I need a shot of my brother too as he is one of my best friends. I love the expression on his face. Nice shot shygrrrl!! :)
Thankyou Heather, Katie, Marina and Nikki. I get so chuffed when people say they like this picture, because it’s like saying they like my brother, and I go all gooey.
What a great shot, siblings (I find) are really hard to capture as they seem to be more aware of you. You have done such a brill job here, I love the blur on the background.

OOOHHH has he seen it yet ???
The balance against the background has worked so well, subtle colours, yeah great shot :)

He hasn’t seen it, no. I like this picture of him because it shows the quiet, reflecting side of his nature, rather than the rockstar he is :)
Hahaha, his beard does match his collar.

Great composition. It seems like it tells a lot about him. I really like it a lot.

beautifully thoughtful portrait. Did he pose for you or was it on the fly?

Thanks Paul. I do love this photo, but I think it is because of the subject :) Every time i see it, i just want to reach in a give him a hug.
