Photographer Snapped “I’m Gonna Be a Dad” Reaction Photos

By Alex in Photography on Sep 4, 2011 at 3:26 pm

When photographer Tom Robinson found out that he was going to be a dad, he not only told his friends and family, he photographed them, too.

The results? A wonderful compendium of Tom's friends and family's reactions to the good news (or in the case of Harwin to the left, who hates children, not so good news).

From My Modern Met:

Are any of the reactions staged?
Hand on heart, absolutely none of the reactions are staged. My friends and family are used to me having a camera hanging on my shoulder, so it wasn't out of character when I said, "Hey, can I take a photo of you?" I'd snap a few frames, then while continuing to hold the camera up, I'd move my head to one side and say, "Guess what [pause], I'm going to be a dad." Snap, snap, snap.

    My brother did this…. 13 years ago, and no one has yet seen the actual photos.

    I dunno. I guess I would have to care, but I really don’t.
