Are you familiar with lifestyle photography? I'm currently taking a
class from Brooke Snow about how to really capture the "story" in your
images and be able to portray emotion better. This week, my homework
assignment was to choose a character (my son) and take "detail" pictures of him
that give us some information about who he is and his personality. He
just finished up first grade and has developed a true love for
reading...ESPECIALLY Calvin and Hobbes. His books are tattered and
worn, missing pages, and one is even missing the cover. As a mother, I often overlook moments like this to photograph. He's been reading well for over a year now and this is the first time I've taken out the camera and really tried to capture the details of this amazing time in my son's life right now. I snapped many more pictures that what you see on the blog (the assignment limited me to 4), and every one of them makes my heart melt. I will always treasure these images.
Oh my! This is just delightful! What a fun subject and concept to photograph! And as you said, this isn't what you would always think to photograph, but looking back doesn't it just fill up your heart?!?!?! Life is made of moments like these that are quiet, real, and seemingly unexciting, yet the images show us what a true treasure those seemingly small things really are! Great work! Thanks for sharing!
