As part of my relaxed style of photographing kids in my wee studio, I started adding in a 'fun' shot just to see if it'd make parents smile - I never thought they'd buy them
What's seems to have happened though is that this sort of shot is becoming a signature of mine, and people (referrals) are actually asking for it now
This is one of those 'breaking the rules' moments where convention says portraits need a 70-90mm (35mm equivalent), but this distortion is pure humour and I think reflects the joyful nature of childhood more
What's amusing too is in context of the 'How much space do you need for a studio?' type queries that keep cropping up here, well this shot is taken from about 20 inches away with an 18mm lens - how much less space can you imagine
Here's an example from the other day... oh, and this is not a final version, just a rough proof for the client to consider the style, so don't be too harsh - forget that, be as harsh as you want!
