Is that , that poor pissed off boy again? The expression is so sad it makes me laugh!
Have a great weekend Von!
Von McKnelly replied
Yes yes it’s that poor boy again. I believe he really wasn’t digging his wardrobe for this shoot….but hey who’s the adult here anyway? (don’t answer that Jen) You wear what I want you to wear and that’s that! lol
tuffcookie

Von McKnelly replied
He’s a boy and expected to have scratches from time to time, no?

linifer
What an unhappy looking litle person. Doesnt look like this kid is looking forward to the weekend!
Big hugs back… and have a bloody good one!
oxo :)
Von McKnelly replied
The funny thing is that I never saw the unhappiness in his expression until now with everyone saying so…more of a soulful look is what I thought.
oxo right back at ya!
Astoreth

Von McKnelly replied
Ice cream is the fix all of all time…I’ll have two scoops please!!

tuffcookie
boy and girls lol. Mine is always covered in bruises or scratches lol his expressions are fantastic! i bet hes a hoot to work with :)
Von McKnelly replied
Well at 6 years of age the attention span isn’t very long so it can wear an old man out in no time.
syd baker
That looks like the same kid who broke the whatever.. doesn’t he know how cool he looks in that.. that… what is that?
Von McKnelly replied
LMAO….who knows but I tell you it was one hell of a getup. He did ask the question, “do I look stupid in this?” Poor kid the things we do for the shot!
Jamaboop
Oh my word…the eyes…what a story there, and the total expression is priceless Man Von, you get some looks. This is just so cute and so funny and he looks so sad. (the big question is will he ever come back for another shoot??) I love this shot!!
Von McKnelly replied
The kid and I have a bond of some sort so I’m sure he’ll be back…maybe needs a break between shoots though.
I know right… the look in this shot…is grand in my book.
Sharon Hammond
If you were my kid that’d make me 113 years old
Von McKnelly replied
Today in history…the first woman to win the miss Aussie pageant over the age of 100 was Ms Shazzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
tuffcookie

Von McKnelly replied
It’s not the years it’s the mileage my dear….
tuffcookie
lol if thats how its counted then …. I’m OLD lol but hey as long as we have fun putting on that milage its all good hun :)
cherylc1
Wonderful portrait ~love the expression!!! Hugs and a wonderful weekend to you my friend!!
clarkey
Such a sad, sad expression . . . lol, you must be hard taskmaster, Von! Have a great week-end and a handful of hugs for you, too. See ya Monday.
Von McKnelly replied
I do have the mind set of a taskmaster when I work…(that’s the first time I’ve admitted that.) But then I do serve milk and cookies after the shoot.
David Friederich
Whatever the emotion, Von, this little guy is full of expression. Great portrait.
Von McKnelly replied
He is just a kick in the pants to work with. Wish the grownup models would be as much of a delight. LOL
María González
Love everything about this shot…perfect!!!!!!
Von McKnelly replied
Kids make for the best subjects with all their crazy expressions…thanks!
clarkey
Aaaah, Von, do you need a middle-aged, over-weight and very plain slave for anything! I make wonderful coffee and chocolate mud-cakes. Oh, and I do a mean pavlova, too.
Von McKnelly replied
If you can make a pavlova dessert then your in for sure!! YUM YUM!
RavenSoul
Toasting you my friend!
Von McKnelly replied
Cheers right back at ya Vonne!
Marion Cullen
It’s obvious from his expression that this kid doesn’t know his rights yet! My boys would of had me up for child abuse if I made them were a get up like that! ROLFMAO! I hope he’s asking a good modeling fee.
Good work!
Von McKnelly replied
You try and explain to them that no one has a portrait quite like this and they just don’t understand. One day he’ll dress his kids up in an odd fashion I’m sure. lol
Lois Bryan
Everyone is picking up on that amazing, soulful face!!! Bless his heart … is that one of those horrendous bathing caps we ladies used to have to wear in swimming pools??? EEEEK!!! Well, that would explain the facial expression. Those things used to squish our heads, foreheads and eyeballs into all kinds of interesting shapes. Come to think of it, I’ll switch my vote from soulful expression to dubious … is he doubting your wisdom, I wonder, regarding the cap??? And I ramble … by the way, love the shot!!! Enjoy your weekend!!!! Let us know when the kittens are here!!!!!
Von McKnelly replied
We had the hardest time getting that cap on without to much pain to the poor boy. He did indeed doubt my wisdom on this look and I hope he forgives me.
Kitties should be here any day I suspect.
Karen Cougan
oh mate, another great kid shot, well done
xkc
Von McKnelly replied
This was one of the last shots of the day when his heart wasn’t really into it…truly my fav out of all of them.
Irene Burdell
Poor kid no wonder he looks unhappy , would you wear that get up ?, Silly question you probably would lol x
Von McKnelly replied
I would never ask a model to wear something I wouldn’t wear. (that’s a lie)
C J Hummel - ...
Wonderful lighting and I can understand the kid totally, if I had to wear headgear like that, I would have the same look
Von McKnelly replied
Prove it! Get the cap on and snap away my dear! (I dare you) hehe!
David Meacham
Hugs back you old softie.
Mean looking dude
Von McKnelly replied
With a kitty sitting in my lap as we speak it would be hard to dispute that statement.
Cheers!
Heather Rivet...
fantastic the look in his face..the expression says it all well done Von..and I agree we get to pick their clothing..not the models pick it
Von McKnelly replied
Right on Heather….some models haven’t a clue what looks good on camera.
Thanks goodness they have us to point them in the right direction. lol
Brad Sumner GLP
Another fantastic capture, Von!
Von McKnelly replied
Just another day at the office Brad….the kid didn’t think so but….
Renee Dawson
This little one does NOT look impressed Von…lol Great capture – awesome eyes! Clinking my glass…cheers to a lovely weekend :)
Von McKnelly replied
The torture I impose on my subjects may seem cruel to the viewer but I assure you the milk and cookies after makes everything right as rain.
seemyshots
you did capture the eyes looking like they’re looking right at you.. sorry, you still don’t get his vote, he says it looks dumb.. he doesn’t like the hat one bit. I dissagree ..
Von McKnelly replied
I’m sad he doesn’t care for this wonderful portrait. (not really) At least you and I are on the same page! Thanks Kim!
Tracey Mac
Awww he’s gorgeous…but I think he hates you lol!
Wonderful lighting and gorgeous eyes…love that hate fueled eye contact with the lens :))
Von McKnelly replied
If I could get all my models to give the camera this top shelf expression I wouldn’t care if they didn’t like me. Well that may not be all true I’d like them to come back for more silliness.
Rowdy
Great shot. I can see the concern and expression. Very nice
Von McKnelly replied
Getting an emotion that comes across as real makes my day…
Thanks Rowdy!
Jan Cain
awesome.
Von McKnelly replied
Many thanks Jan….people are my favorite subjects.
Robert Armstrong
This is wonderful, the colour, light, composition and the expression on the boys face!
Lucindawind
lol hes not happy !!!
Leslie Battjes
Oh dear, Von…you may want to watch your back in the coming years…I don’t think this little guy will forget what you’ve made him wear…I think he’s busy plotting already! :)
Wayyy too cute!
AlexMac
This is a brilliant shot, the depth in his eyes and the tones, everything….even the bad taste outfit he is wearing is bloody brilliant, This child has a huge future ahead of him if he can keep up those expressions…..maybe in 20yrs time he will be the next Calvin Klein model lol….definately a fave image…His expressions are priceless….BRAVO!!!!!!!
Louise LeGresley
Very intense…
Charles McKean
Fab
Zoraida Pesante
This remind me of my son when he used to model! He hated when they dressed him up with certain clothing!
What a great shot!!! LOL!!!
Pete Costick

tonilouise
