So I was hesitant to do this week's shooting challenge but I tried it anyway.
The Challenge:
Take a portrait of someone. This should not be a spontaneous candid, but a planned model shoot. It cannot be a self-portrait either. The challenge is to work with someone else and capture a portrait of them.

My Comment:
When I started up all this photography stuff, I told myself that I wasn't going to take pictures of people, only objects and landscapes. Well, I also want to do these shooting challenges so I decided to try this contest. The other issue I had was that I was hesitant to post of photo of my four year old son on the internet for all to see. That being said, I wanted to make sure that my entry fit the criteria but still obscured my son's face a little.
I set up the shot with a small bedside lamp sitting in my son's toy grocery cart to get it to the same height as his face. I had him stand against the wall and asked him not to smile. Of course, that just made him smile. I played around with shutter speed and was able to get 10-15 shots taken before he lost interest.
This was the best of the bunch.
