A photo session of an angry baby has gone viral after the photographer posted the photos of him on the Internet, in which he has a sullen and gloomy face.
Trent was only 7 days old when his mother, Jessica Mandy, took him to Lauren Carson for a photo shoot.
Later, Carson posted Trent’s photos on his Facebook account and told why that particular photo shoot stood out from others he had done in the past.
‘I have been photographing babies for ten years and have photographed hundreds of babies,’ he wrote in his post.
‘But none of them will compare to that little boy and the way he looked at me.’ The post was an instant hit, garnering over 150,000 likes.
In the ‘Good Morning America’ interview, Carson said that the photo session began in a rather ordinary way.
‘He started grimacing, and [I] just started photographing the grimaces as they appeared. I tried to depict the facial expressions of babies, because they can be unpredictable sometimes.’
Contrary to what is depicted in the photos, Carson said that Trent was not really aggressive during the photo shoot.
‘He was very pleased. He did not cry and did not show signs of discomfort. He was just grimacing…’
Carson told GMA that during her work, when she painted the newborns, the hatred on Trett’s face was ‘much more expressive’ than she had ever seen before.
