portrait of a child

I was asked by a friend of my sister in law to take some photos of her children.

I had just bought my studio lights and we decided to try some shots with them.

This photo was taken towards the end of the session, with just one light infront and to the left of the subject. he was sitting infornt of a large window with a light cream coloured pair of curtains behind him. It wasn't posed he just happened to be looking past me as I took it.

In photo shop I , converted to black & white and altered levels to wash out the background. I tried all different crops but felt this one was best. I will try and post the original photo as well for people to modify see what other results people can get.

I love this photo, the expression or is it the lack of expression as someone told me.
