School Daze - Caricatures

These images were a part of a concept shoot I photographed back in April. I wanted to make a caricature of the classroom stereotypes that we've all been exposed to at one point or another.

The children on this shoot were not models. They are students at the school that my two sons attend (my sons are 'class clown', 'nerd' and 'messy kid' ). ALL of the children were amazing and a whole lot of laughs.

Remember to check out the expressions on the faces of this kids in the background. Some of them are truly brilliant.

Enjoy!

  3. Well done, I love that tonal HDR look about them. Telling a real story in a photograph is hard and you do this so well.
