Schumacker's

Posted by ordinaryimages (Kentucky Bluegrass, United States) on 11 September 2009 in People & Portrait.

The grand [re]opening of a local art & framing store...this lad seemed to enjoy it. I set to shutter priority of 1/125 ISO 1250 and everything turned out sharp in available light. Events are not my thing, I shoot them for the practice and goodwill.

A priceless shot. Love the silky hair, glistening M&Ms, the spark in the eyes, and the way the light is brightly shining almost right down on top of him. Delicious!

@Dulcie: Harsh florescent light out in the warehouse. I liked that little smirk when he looked up from his business.

You caught that smirk perfectly; this kid loves the cookie and the camera loves him.

What I most like of this shot is the post process, nothing is forced, it's so natural. Good job.

Maybe the best kid portrait ever.

@Steve Rice: Thanks! I don't know who he is, he looked up as I was taking the shot. I'll have to track down his parents with a print.
