"There are some photographs that you admire for their technical quality. Others appeal because of the unique way in which something, you may have seen many times before, has been framed and portrayed. Still others appeal because they give a warm sense of pleasure as you marvel at the wonder of the created world we live in. And others for their sheer power to arrest your soul and leave you wondering 'what's the story there' causing your imagination to run free.
This photograph by Sam has captured so much. The children's expressions each tells a story. The subtle sepia toning fits well with the mood the children express and adds another dynamic to a wonderful shot. The high-key presentation allows for no other distraction and one is drawn therefore, with strong empathic resonance, to a shot that is a great portrayal of powerful human drama.
It is quite simply a stunning shot."

Superb !
ReplyDeleteThat kind of portraits photography I just love and try to make with success myself.
Love these 3 eyes pairs staring at me while I'm staring at them...
And the B&W toned is just perfectly done.
A great one, Sam, and thanks Jeremy for pointing it out !!
