On set with our youngest son Isaac. He has one of the lead roles in a new television show that will air in January 2010. I'm doing some of the set photography and were going to make a photo book for the cast and crew.

There are a lot of things I like about this image. First of all, I love the colors of the boys jackets echoing the colors in the trees. Second, I like the grouping of the boys v.s. the men. And third I like the happy interaction between the members of each group. The whole image: colors, sunny day, social interaction, all add up to a very happy and cheerful scene. It makes me smile.
What works here is the natural tendency of grouping. I really like the interaction, there almost seems to be a reflection between the two groups. Colors are lovely too.
A thoughtfilled shot. Watch your composition. If you move camera left and down you would not cut off your subjects feet and or knees. Try to capture the entire person
This is a fun shot to me because of the repeated action/posture of the two sets of gentlemen. I particularly like the younger set. One indeed wonders what stories are being swapped here. Also like the reflections of orange and yellow from the younger gents' jackets to the trees behind.
