Severe Case of PCS

July 23, 2008 – 11:10 pm

Commonly known as Photographers Child Syndrome !

Symptoms include: continual moans and groans, ability to twist face in to looks of sheer misery, sudden outbursts, extremely unco-operative, ability to frustrate photographer within seconds, and knowing just how to work it you so photographer gives up !

So I thought I’d beat them at their own game

I *heart* this picture, which was the first of a series of shots. Did a little post production experimentation, love the look of vintage & textured images but don’t think they work with the kind of pictures I take :(

Here’s my buddy Louis.

Most photographers turn into quivering wrecks at the mention of a 2 year old, so I set off armed with plenty of toys and props to keep my subject amused. Louis certainly kept me and his Mum on our toes but it was worth every minute. The album is going to be spectacular :)
