Guest Photographer - Eitan Calev

Today, rather than showing my own pictures, I thought I would present the pictures from a guest photographer.  Today’s photographer is Eitan Calev, who became interested in photography through his father’s interest.  He has constantly watched me take pictures for some time now and has decided to take the plunge himself.  His first photos were taken with a Fisher Price camera while on vacation in Thailand, but he has significantly improved his skills (and equipment) since then.  No longer satisfied with cheap kids’ cameras, he now demands to use the finest equipment and therefore borrows his father’s camera under his supervision.

This picture was taken entirely by him, with his father only helping him to hold the rather heavy Canon 180L lens.  Still, I think it is rather impressive that at this age (a few months short of five) he is using the rule of thirds already.

Here’s another shot that he took the same day.  I rather like the thought with this one.  Thought it was a bit out of focus it’s very interesting that out of all things a four year old would try to frame the shot this way.  I know that he intentionally framed it this way because he rejected an earlier attempt that was off and retook the shot.

In other shots he attempted to be a bit more artistic.  I’m not sure what the story is behind this shot, but he was very determined to get it right.

What I found even funnier was later on when I was taking photos of them.  Eitan stopped in his bike and asked that I take a picture of him in this pose.

Is this a future photography great in the making?!
