Title: Unconditional love
Post by: elsa hoffmann on October 24, 2016, 07:14:19

the love affair between a baby and a dog.
candid shooting - so really not "my usual style kind of thing"
but for me the moments were more precious than the rest.
or maybe I just love my dog haha

*18 month old Mia - born from 2 deaf parents - she is "moderately" deaf. She has hearing aids, and talks more than my mother.
and she is bloody busy!

Last photo - note her unusual eyes
All images taken with the 85 f1.4 - which performs beautifully - as one would expect.

Very emotional. It touches a fiber. I like your choice of tight framing because of the closeness it conveys. I can fell the love and the warm hugs :)

Thank you Frank, Erik and Golunvolo.
You are right - its special to see how unconditional a child's love is.
I love to crop tight - and here I specifically did so to cut out the other distractions in the background as it was shot in my house - following the kid around. And that thing can move - like a Duracell Bunny.

BTW IMHO white balance, tone, is too red in the first image the rest are a much nicer cool suiting the overall rendering much better

Nice series. Two of the best things in life are kids and dogs and the two together is exponentially better.
