Great topic! Really interesting to see others 'perspective' on this topic. I am by no means a professional portrait photographer but I do find snow and ice to be a great
backdrop for kids. It lets them have fun while being photographed. I have several great pics as samples but felt uncomfortable posting a child's photo on the internet.
You will just have to imagine it or hopefully go out and try it for yourself. Sorry!

Just a couple more of "natural" portraits that I feel capture the moment and the character of the person, which to me, is the most important thing.
Hope you enjoy.

Some food for thought.
These were all shot at bathtime hand held in available light (no flash). (relatively high ISO and fast lenses help).
I was just a fly on the wall and the inspiration was from a Flickr contact.

In this case "out of the box" is what will happen in 15 years or so when she brings her first date home. Of course she will be hoping they stay "in the box."

To have an out of the box portrait you have to work at it and have a concept, to wit, "Blue Boy".[quote=one shot]

Yes, that's a nice image.
Though it's impossible to define OOTB.
I Think for sure it takes a bit of thought or planning or manipulation of the scene at the time of taking.
Either way, it's a matter of going something that is less normally done and we define it or categorize it for ourselves. As I said, it seems to be different for each of us!
Fotoartist, thanks for posting!!

Clever concept. He looks so sad I have to hope maybe he was just made to sit still to have his picture made. You added the tear, right? Is this you or a close relative? There is a resemblance.

One, just curios, why does it might matter that he knows the subject?
I rarely know my subjects whether children or adults! Just saying.

Great topic! I am by no means a professional portrait photographer but sometimes thinking out of the box yields amazing results. Ice and snow make wonderful back drops for kid photography. They are enjoying the snow, etc so do not notice the camera. This photo is a sample of that. He posed himself and I just took the photos. Comments welcomed.

Don't guess it matters. Just my natural curiosity. And my emotional response to his picture. I don't understand why you ask the question.

Wondered where the picture was! And they're perfect. What a wonderful memory you recorded. You're sure right about the snow.
