Austin keeping it real with Santa

Austin rocks an extra chromosome. If he likes you, you get the honor of an elbow bump from him :)

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken outside our local IMAX theater. The CocaCola Caravan had provided a special visit from Santa for children with disabilities. My youngest has Down syndrome and the elbow bump was st the time, his way of connecting with someone he really liked. This was his first time wanting to see Santa and he initiated the contact. Encounters with others he didn’t know usually required Mom’s hand in his and constant reassurance. This day was huge for us!

Time

Mid morning.

Lighting

No special lighting, was a candid shot

Equipment

This was taken with an iPhone 6.

Inspiration

This was a candid shot I snapped as my son was getting acquainted with Santa.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

My iPhone is he only thing in my bag these days.

Feedback

I like natural, in the moment shots. Nothing fake or forced about those
