Well I had a chance to photograph another boy that is graduating this year. I have know this boy for 8 years and I have photographed him and his family many times. He is a great kid very smart but he is always quite awkward in front of the camera. He has only one expression no matter what I do, it is like a Pavlovian response he sees the camera and puts on that same expression. I would tell him relax his face look serious all kinds of things look away then look back on the count of three you name it we tried it. It was odd to say the least. Anyway we tried to make the best of it. I took him to a well known tourist spot called the Summer Palace. The weather was typical Beijing weather with no sun just haze so we made artificial light for most of these.

1. Down the Long Corridor I had to remove the other visitors in post. The light is his hair is from OCF

6. On the street (there was a huge LCD screen that was casting weird colors on his face so I never got a good skin tone always a color cast but I still think that it works)

You were not kidding about the same expression :lol: I am worse. Mine looks bad and consistant :lol:

I have been to that place I think. It has all the murals on the long corridor?
I like one and two the best out of these


Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

Sigma Pi I really like number 2 as well. Yes the long corridor has all the murals as you go through it. It is a neat place. Thanks for looking and commenting.
