Bow tied boy

[Mike McCarty]

Here's a few pic's I took recently of an eight year old boy.

The background was created with some cheap black fabric tacked to a wall.

All shot in very low light with a tripod. The first one is at 640 ISO and latter ones had to go to 1000 ISO. The 640 doesn't look so bad.

I've always liked a bow tie on a boy. The whole outfit: pants, shirt, vest and tie is from Wal-Mart as a set for $15.

The mom's hands over the shoulder was sort of an experiment. I wonder what other think of the idea.
