My Little Brother

I seem to be shooting more people photos lately. This one is of my little brother, Matt. Actually, I should say he's my younger brother, since he's been taller than me for a few decades now. But I guess no matter how old or big he gets, he'll always be my little brother. It's older brother prerogative to use that terminology.

I shot this one in the same location as my brother-in-law's photo on the 5/26 post. It was on an outside deck in open shade, but as you can see, there was still some direction to the light. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Directional light gives the shadows that suggest depth and texture in a photo. I also gave this one a slight sepia tone to warm it up a bit.

You have captured so much personality with the black an white + sepia treatment. There is so much kindness and family love showing in his eyes.
I think this is a prize portrait.

I love shooting in natural light...as long as the light is naturally diffused :)

Great shot!
