Hugo's photo in the Practical Photography

When I got an email that a photo of my little boy will be published in Practical Photography magazine, I was over the moon not only as a proud mom but a photographer too.

The feedback I got about the photograph of my son is great. It is a fantastic feeling to know your work is appreciated not only by your family, clients but also other professionals.

I love things simple and natural and this published photo is an example.

Whenever I photograph my son or clients I chose the location, clothing and ask my subjects something to do ready to capture the outcome or just make them laugh or think about something to get the expression. But many times I just sit there quietly and observe letting the subject create the photograph. Even though I have rough ideas ready before each session, I am always prepared to change my plans to be guided by my subject and this is how this photo was created.

Location, light and the subject inspire me and when mum comes to me saying, ' I trust you, do whatever you want' that is the time when my mind is free and most creative and photograph the children as if they were my own.
