Black-And-White Photo Competition 2 2016 : Entry Number 183

Beautiful family portrait with the edgy tattoo as a contrast to the baby. Lovely.

Thank you for the recognition. I love making Black and White images. I find the "honestly" with which the stories of subjects are told, when colour is removed from an image, not only captivating but also mesmerizing. This images was intended as a portrait of the dad with his newborn son, but it all changed when the four year old older brother spontaneously took of his shirt and climbed into his dad's embrace to love his new baby brother. The moment lasted only an instant, but it will remain one of my favourite images for a long time to come. Maryna Cotton - South Africa Nikon D800 24-70mm 2.8 200ISO F7.1 125s
