It never rains in Southern California until it actually DOES rain in Southern California. Every year, about this time, the rainy season begins and I've been taking a photo at my bedroom window of my youngest ever since he was 2.

Adorable shot Jessica!

Ultimate

Love this capture and thanks for introducing me to Viewbug - I am addicted - no housework for me today :-)

This is one of my favorite photos ... I adore the composition ... It's just so sweet and captures the love of one for the love of another ... the child looking out the window - he/she could be waiting for Santa, waiting for Mom or Dad, or just wishing to play outside ... and the puppy over the shoulder - that's the child's protector and look out ... Love it.

Not only are there lots of technical reasons this capture is fantastic... the look on the boy's face is priceless. A timeless capture that ought to be on a wrapped canvas. Fantastic!

Immediate emotional connection achieved. The mood, the subtle perfect lighting combined with tender composition makes for a magnificent photo. Beautiful work Jessica.

Precious moment... priceless

Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in my son's bedroom.

Time

It was shot in the afternoon on a dreary, rainy day. It was the weekend and he was very bored, he'd been hoping to go outside to play. The sky was overcast and I had the lights off in the room, but there was enough of a soft light to illuminate his face.

Lighting

This was shot using only natural light from the window. The overcast sky made for a perfect soft light when he got close to the pane. Everything else in the room faded into the darkness perfectly so the focus was on his face and the reflection.

Equipment

I shot this with a Canon 5D Mark iii and my Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 lens. I did not use a tripod or flash or even a reflector. Very simple set up.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the raw emotion on my boy's face. The longing to be outdoors. I loved how clear his reflection was as well, and how he seemed to be comforted by the dog's presence.

Editing

Yes, I use photoshop to adjust my images. I play with overall tonality, dodge and burn, and enhance details. I think Photoshop is an amazing tool to help you enhance the vision you have in your head.

In my camera bag

I shoot with a Canon body (5DMarkiii or 5DSR) and keep my 85mm 1.2, 50mm 1.4, 24-70 2.8 in my bag at all times. I do not use flash or reflectors, or even a tripod.

Feedback

I would advise them to seek soft light and position their subject as close to the window as possible. I think it's very important to make sure that you are not over-directing shots like this. I remained quiet and let my boy think, not over-doing the emotion with too much posing. I think that some knowledge of photoshop is also important to enhance details and dodge and burn. Having great work straight out of camera is awesome, but in my opinion, the edit in post is essential to fully convey the emotions you want to express.
