My son can be the most difficult subject to photograph, just because he is... and it's my fault to a degree!
I've been poking SLR's at him since he was a baby, and as a child he was totally relaxed in front of a camera and happy to play, and not just literally. However, apart from the fact that I now need to drag him away from World of Warcraft to shoot a decent location photograph of him, as any teen, he will now question the need to have a photograph taken.
As my shoots are growing in scale and complexity I often have Matt with me as an assistant (hopefully this helps him with his A-level photography). This gives me the opportunity to do test shots on him. Initially he wasn't too pleased to be involved in this, until he saw the images! :)
He is now pleased that I am able to photograph him in a different way, not as the giggly sweet curly headed boy, but as a more mature Matt, with a (as he calls it!) bad ass look.
I am pleased... pleased that I had more photos of Matt, and that I manage to get in a shot what he is really like, with that look in the eye that shows me he means business :)
Get in touch if you would like some "badass" images of yourself, or your teen ;) I'm always up for any creative projects you may have in mind....
