09.12 Family Photo Composite
The first of many family photo composites to come.
The first of many family photo composites to come.
The idea sparked on me in between working on branding ideas for myself that I needed to get some sick images of the family. So I asked my wife what she thought about doing a detailed light painted composite of our son with his favorite things. He just turned 4 and learned to ride without training wheels on his 4th birthday so I wanted him on his bike with his spiderman cape and a pirate sword. The sword managed to be way to much for him to handle and still focus on the camera so we ditched that. After about 2 hours and 35 photoshop layers we got what we wanted. A fun family photo that sort of captured us in a certain time. So I decided that I want to try a monthly / bi-monthly go at a different composite with a different theme or concept each time. So we'll see if I can stick with it or not.
Here's a few of the images that went into the final above. you can also view larger images and some strobist information on my flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamjmiller/sets/72157631428817202/
