Portraits

My parents gave me a Canon 50mm lens for Christmas and I've been itching to try it out since then. Finally, with the end of exams, I've had some time to relax and take some pictures. The original plan was to go up to Heaton Park and photograph the llamas, goats etc, but sadly the weather was horrible so I had to make do with photographing Christopher instead. This is my first go at portraiture so please be kind....

  1. I think you've caught him perfectly, and I love the shallow depth of field in the last one. Black and white really suits the style of picture too, with the bricks of the old warehouse providing great backdrop. I'm intrigued to know how these were lit, as most look like natural window light but one seems to have the tell-tale sparkle of fill-in flash.
