David L. Forney Photography

Wow, I'm the first to sign your portfolio, David. It's really a honour for me. You have a sort of magic in taking children pictures. They are very difficult to catch and the great part of the children pictures you can see all around have some value just for parents and other relatives. But in your case, on the contrary, you are able to take "universal pictures", you photograph the people they are and not the "children" and so they look exactly what they are: wonderful promises for a better future. Many compliments for your work and don't stop to upload.

Mauro

Thanks Mauro for being the first to comment on my small portfolio! I do love taking pictures of children, and in this process I'm learning more about myself. Thanks so much for the kind words. David

Cheers, S.

Excellent kids portfolio.

After seeing your portfolio, I realized that for me the road ahead is still very long ...

My sincere compliments.

Best regards.

Stefano.

very great portfolio! like much all..ciao to Italy

Your comment was much appreciated,especially since it led me to your wonderful portfolio;it makes your opinion a real honor.

Your portrets with Thomas - color are realy good, the colors are really deep and saturated. I like it.

I can think of few subjects in portraiture, more noble and essential, than capturing moments of the joy of youth... transient and ephemeral

In some way, by photographing children in moments of discovery and wonder, we re-live those moments ourselves.

I'm pleased to know that there are photographers like you out there, expertly capturing these days of young life.

Keep it up... extraordinary really

this is an outstanding portfolio. Congratulations sir... ;)

David, it took me a while to get here...but i first wanted to thank you for your kind comments in my portfolio...and of equal importance to express my appreciation for a fine body of work. i appreciate your modesty, but don't sell yourself short! you're a very talented artist! i plan on keeping up with your work and hope you visit often...John

Really great work David. When I need a little inspiration, or just a reminder of the beauty in life, I'll drop by. Very Best Wishes, Jerry

Wow! What stunning portraits! Where were you when my children were young? Absolutely beautiful portfolio and I will be back to look some more! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for the comments, love you port, awesome BW. Keep it up, I will be checking up.

Your portfolio is amazing and filled with the sweet innocence of youth. I admire your talent behind the lens and feel inspired by your work. There are few collections that make me smile from the first to the last image…. Yours did! I am so glad to have visited and will return soon. Thank you for your comments on my work, your words are very much appreciated.

Best regards, Pamela

I am honored david that you took the time to comment on my photo - your portrait work here is awesome and is in part what I am working to get to!! I am only 26 and just starting out with this...obsession :)

Nice portfolio. You definitly have an eye for capturing children and their expressions/thoughts. Good work. - Charles

beautiful portraits, so pure and vivid, nicely done

Although I rated and commented several of your photos I just realized I never commented on your portfolio. David, your photos never cease to amaze me. When I grow up - photographically speaking - I want to be able to make portraits as yours.

I like very much the portrait's work with you do, the way you get the expression, inocent and naturality of the children is a present, wich no everyone can do.

I will be happy to see more of your portrait's work in the future, that is also one source of inspiration for me. Gratulations..!

I think I have to thanks you for following David O , dedication. I traveled in your files, and I think that it is one of the very best children photos series I saw in a long time.It was hard to choose, so here I'm commenting on all of them....;-)) Thanks again for both, there and here.

Your work always takes my breath away! Stunning and captivating for sure.

You capture more than just images, you capture the essence of the child!!!

deb

Fabulous - you have a talent that shines through these images.

Apart from your marvelous work in capturing the essence of a child and especially now that I am a grandfather, I feel that we grown ups have a tremendous responsibility....let us hope that we can open a lot of doors for the little angels...Best regards, Dimitris.

Hallo David, I like your children portraits very much. You definitely have sense for that, can be called talent as well :) I personally prefer your BW works, that seem to me more expressive. I will be dropping in to see what is new. Thanks for viewing my works, that gives me incentive for further photo activity. Wishing you all the best - Cezary

Good work. I too like to photograph children. Over a decade ago I began to document the arrival of the children of people whom I had photographed when they were children. Sometimes there are demands: "I want a photo of my daughter just like the one you took of me," etc.

I admire your portfolio. Great images of kids being kids.
