I have posted images of Seb on my blog before. He’s the child of some good friends Dave and Jos and he really is an especially cute child.

These images were taken in November last year, but I had not looked through all of them until now. I was shooting with my partner Sharon, and we were wanting to capture images of Seb in his home environment. You can see some images created on the same day by Sharon on her blog.

This was a really fun shoot. Seb was relaxed in his familiar surroundings, and it was fantastic to be able to capture images of him interacting with his parents and just generally playing and having a good time.

Whilst working inside, an SB26 flash was wirelessly triggered and bounced off the ceiling to supplement the ambient light and provide fill. The key light is still provided by light coming through nearby windows. The images taken outside were created using available light only.

Sharon and I joined our friend Jos and her child Seb to go on an adventure to feed the ducks. We organised to meet in the botanical gardens in Hagley park – which is the main central park in Christchurch. The park is, most importantly, abundant with ducks who are all eager to be feed – although, what duck isn’t?

Seb is one of the cutest kids you will ever meet so we took along the camera to grab some photos while we were out. Seb is just over one year old now and he has recently begun walking, so it was quite entertaining to watch him totter around after the ducks.

All the images below are shot on the Canon 5D with the 50mm f/1.4 lens and ambient light only. All images are shot between f/3.5 and f/5 on ISO800.
