Portrait of the boy-child; I think this fits the “reflecting” brief nicely.

Thank you. I think so, but of course I might be a teeny bit biased 🙂

He is clearly reflecting on something, hope it’s not something sad.

No I think he was mainly wondering how much longer he’d have to keep posing for me.

Thanks. It didn’t “make the cut” of the shots I sent to his grandmother (the reason he agreed to pose in the first place) because he looked so serious, but I really like it too.

What lovely hair! And he does look very contemplative. I’m intrigued to know what he is focusing on.

Thanks Jude. He agreed to let me photograph him so we would have something nice to send to his grandmother. I suspect he was getting a bit fed up with me by the time this shot was taken.

Yes it does! Lovely shot. He looks very contemplative and bit angsty. (In an age-appropriate way.)

Beautiful portrait! Reminds me so much of those lovely Victorian portraits we already talked about 😉 He looks so pensive and the out of focus reflection in the mirror fits the atmosphere perfectly. Great shot, Su! xxxxxx

Thank you so much Sarah. I hadn’t intended to take the “mirror” shots, but once I started …. That probably accounts for the thoughtful look. Like “when is she going to stop with the camera?” xxxxx

You´re welcome, Su. Maybe your son should consider retraining as an actor – he certainly didn´t look like he was annoyed posing for you so long 🙂 xxxxxxx

He’s done some modelling recently. All very angsty, indie brand stuff. He doesn’t like being reminded that his first modelling gig was when he was 2, and on the cover of his kindergarten’s brochure. 🙂 xxxxxxx

Haha! 🙂 But you know what they say: you´ve got to start early otherwise no one will take you on 😉 My cousins in England did some modeling too – my aunt was so proud of her good-looking offspring and send us all copies 🙂 All the best for his modeling career!!! xxxxxx

😃 He just sent me some of the photos from a recent shoot. I think he has “teen angst” nailed!
