Cambodian Children

... on a superb and haunting series. All are excellent but I particularly like the little girl playing in the street with the cigareete box; beautfully composed.

Excellent series. It makes me want to gather them up and take them home. But, unfortunately, there are millions of children like them throughout this world.

James Axford,

Great Photos indeed. I like the last one best. Can I ask what camera/Lens combo you used on these pictures?

Thank you
 
I loved them all, the photographs and the PP. The little girl with the cigarette pack is my favourite.

Hello James,

Beautiful series and I agree with one of the posters who described your pics as "Haunting."

I like them all but for me the #3 shot is my favorite. I keep going back and looking at it.

Very nice work and thanks for posting.

Best regards,

harveyf

'Make Every Day Count'

 
Impressive shots. The bokeh of the 135mm works very well in framing the children. My favorite is the boy with the cat and the girl with the pencil and book. These two capture both a moment and a part of their life.

Keep posting!

(Can't wait for my own 135mm...just seven days more...)
 
James, the last image works very well for me. Wonderful use of color, context and nicely composed. In this shot, I have a sense of how you are expressing this scene, whereas the others feel more like captures, if that makes any sense. Makes them no less powerful (would be impossible to leave Cambodia and not be affected by the children there...) but i have a better feel for your talent in the last image.
