Martin Boys

This was a difficult shoot for me, but a fun training exercise. These boys belong to one of my best friends from high school, Jordan Martin. There were a couple things that made this shoot difficult for me. One is the obvious, lighting. The other part that I had a lot of trouble with is only taking photos of these two boys. There may be a few shots with some blurred kids in the background, but I didn't want to go around asking every parent if it was okay to photograph their child. Is it legally required for me to do that? No. But I would never photograph kids in any situation without parental consent. The last thing that made this difficult is that I only brought in my 70-200 lens. Many of the spaces were entirely too small for that lens to work, but I made due.
