Capturing the moment

One of the moments I love is when you manage to capture the essence of a personality in a single shot. Sam and Lucas although identical twins are developing quite different personalities. Lucas is more full on, where as Sam is a bit more quiet and perhaps thoughtful. Lucas gives you a wide open mouthed smile and Sam gives you a smaller, more cheeky smile. Lucas laughs out loud frequently and easily, Sam still laughs but you have to work a bit harder for it.

Here are a couple of pictures which capture moments which express those differences.

 

They're not perfect photos from a technical point of view. There is a bit of motion blur and noise, but one of the things I'm learning at the moment is that a picture doesn't have to be technically perfect to capture the moment perfectly.
