"The Eyes Of Our Hope"

"The Eyes Of Our Hope"
©David A. Ziser

I mentioned yesterday that I had 2 good friends and past clients come over as I had promised to photograph the newest member of their family - 8 week old Ms. Lily. This is one of the images from yesterday's session. Photographing these very young babies is always a kick for me because you never know what is going to happen or exactly what you may get. Heck it's not like they are going to follow directions! It's always a process, a process that yields something different and exciting each time. I absolutely love this image. The beautiful bright eyes, grasping mommy's finger makes a compelling image, an image that's speaks first to a mother's love but secondly to an optimistic future seen in those big, bright eyes of young Ms. Lily. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with 18-200mm IS lens, F9.0 @ 1/100 second, ISO 400. Enjoy! -David

  1. A gorgeous image. No wonder you can often refer to your clients as "repeat customers." And even here the camera-side of the nose is in shadow :). Brian F.

  2. Off topic, but I just sat through you "Location Selection" class over at Kelby Training. Great job as usual. I'll be refering back to it (as I do to all your classes) again and again.

  4. As above comments , the Kelby Training on Location is fantastic. To bad you live in the US , would be great to come to Australia one day and do some training down under. Keep up the great work on passing on your knowledge.

  5. This shot exemplifies the priority lighting has over camera and lens info.

    Even a short lighting comment, like "grid spot camera left" would be helpful.
