Difficult times for family life....?

This photo is one in a serie "Youthcare in the Netherlands"

I work in the Dutch youthcare and I've seen more cases of child abuse than I like. I know the circumstances and I know that this beautifull photo has nothing to do with child abuse. At all!! I agree with Borek completely, at this age children often play withouth shirts... I disagree with nude child photography where you can see too much but this is a photo wich could have easily been taken on a summer holliday..... Anyone who finds this photo not deacent has a sick mind......

I like all you're photo's in this folder but this one is my favorite. Photography of the daily life. Very good portrait well done!

These are the photo's the neswpapers (or magazines) love! A different vieuw of surfing in high waves.Did you take it from the beach or isn't that possible...? Great job...

Well seen!

The only thing I did was turning colour into black&white in PhotoShop. I was thinking of removing the billboard on the right in the background (it is distracting, I agree) but I don't like to change photo's too much. The billboards are work from the Dutch photo journalist Wubbo de Jong, who died last year.This photo exhibition was a tribute to him.

Thanks for the remarks ans suggestions.

Exciting and well balanced portrait. Can't imagine anyone rates this lower than a 6???

Wonderfull photo Leslie ! I think this is better advertising for a digital camera than 100 folders and leaflets. But I still think it's the photographer who makes a great photo! (or a lousy photo for that mather). I think I have to think about upgrading my Eos 5 into a D10...

Great new perspective from a subject that has been photographed over ten biljoen times !! Great work. By the way: they are changing the lights from the eifeltower these day's....

I like this portrait very much! I think it's technically very good, good light, good pose and good framing. Perhaps you could have used a litlle fill in flash for the starts in her eyes but then again it might have spoiled the natural mood of the photo. But most of all I like the model. Very relaxed very natural. A very strong lady! You certainly made a very strong portrait. Top marks!

I'm imressed by you're photo Marc but I'm also very impressed by you're latest statement here. Photography at it's best can be an international language... And as long as we are communicating we don't go to war or anything like that. I beleave in communication and I beleave in photography. Thanks for you're contributions here on photo.net.

Regards from the Netherlands.

Not a very intresting subject and rather a dull composition. The church in the background would be interesting but the trees get in the way.

I like this one most in you're portfolio. Did you let the children pose, or was a candid shot...?

Needs a focal piont

Àlmost everything has been said and I agree totally. I like you're portfolio very much. Terrific photo build up like a painting. Great scenery, colours, models (did they pose for 5 whole minutes like that ?). I'm looking forward to new work. Very impressive !

What does superimposed mean ? It isn't changed in anyway in PS, this is the original negative !

HCB is Henri Cartier Bresson, a famous French photographer who was one of the founders of Magnum photo's. I don't think we are all member of his fan club here, I have lots of other photographers as my favorite along them the Dutch street photographer Ed van der Elsken but who knows him ??? I think HCB stands for a kind of photography like Ansel Adams (AA, you Americans like to use only the capitals I've noticed like LBJ). stands for the master of the b&w landscape photography. So when speak of a portrait like HCB than I mean the HCB style (much copied in later years).

I don't want to contribute to 'a batlle between'landscape photographers and people photographers beacause I admire both. But Michel Walter last contribution made me post this reaction: Why bother to go out and take photo's of landscapes, even if they are as beautifull as Yosemite park.... 100 years from now, when we are all dead the landscape will (hopefully) be the same as now. But people change all the time. I think photography is making a great contribution to preserve the everyday life facts in history. What is more interesting watching photo's from 1900 with people or with landscapes..... With people off course (see the sales of people photoalbums from that time).

So I think people photography (portraits and street photo's and even photo's from family albums) are very important for our internation history books.

 

I wish I (as a Dutchman) could write more easily in English so I could make my point more clear.

I saw a photo of the negative of that photo in a magazine once and it was not cropped at all. I'll try to scan that photo...
