My Reluctant Model

My 14 year old son - unimpressed that I dragged him away from his video game.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I don't blame him! 😉

[Taffy]

I like the stylized look you've created.

[MB]

Hahaha! You should know better than that!! LOL!!! The "look" says it all!!

[Lisa Poland]

Haha! Typical teenager. My youngest son used to model for me all the time, but lately he doesn't want to any more. Same age.

[Milanie]

Oh the things Mothers ask of their kids! LOL He definitely has the look.

[Beth Shepherd]

Great shot. Love all the textures with his hair and the wall.

[Joy's Focus]

Great shot of sulky teen. I used to have one of those but he outgrew it. Lol Love the pose and B&W!

[J A Byrdlip]

A James Dean portrait from the 1950's. Okay, similar to one, and late 50's.

[Rick]

Great highlight image

[gloria jones]

Very cool composition

[Pam Knowler]

The expression says it all! Wonderful b&w portrait! Fav!

[Babs]

I thought the same as the comment above. Definitely a James Dean pose. I love the wistful look in his eyes

[Connie Little]

A very aggrieved look.

[Chris Johnson]

I feel exactly the same when it happens to me! But you were able to capture that classic expression. :)

[haskar]

Reluctant and very natural. Wonderfull.

[Call me Joe]

👍👍👍

[Louise & Ken]

He's got that "handsome rebel" look of James Dean, Marlon Brando, Elvis and the like of that era!

[Lynda McG]

Great portrait and background - fav!

[Graeme Stevens]

superb portrait

[Domenico Dodaro]

Great edit... And did anyone tell he has something of the young Alain Delon?

[Issi Bannerman]

He may have been unimpressed, but he did it! No way I'd ever get either of ours to pose for me. Super, super shot!

[Diana]

A fabulous portrait, I love the look on his face. Fav

[Clare Gadsby]

haha excellently unimpressed! all my sons are reluctant models :( this has turned out so cool and moody though, and i love your processing

[Jenfurj]

Yes, but I bet he secretly loves the photo.!

[Marloes]

He makes a great model! Poor boy with a dragging mum ;-)

[*lynn]

Ha, your title certainly describes his expression! Looks pretty typical for a 14 year old boy, I think! My son never did outgrow looking like this if I wanted to take his picture!!
