Vintage Holiday

CherylL · Dec 26, 2024

Last month after taking the usual family photos, I had the grands pose for this photo as a surprise for their mother. I printed and framed for her gift yesterday. I've had this idea for about a year and waited until this year because of the backdrop. Last year's backdrop was a red truck scene.

That day was busy with family photos in the morning, broke for lunch, and box photos in the afternoon. The other grands were in town too. I do regret I didn't get a photo of all of the grands together.

Multiple Models, 1/2 to 1 stop lighting across their faces, a tough set up, its a great attempt, and my only comment is Pic Left, the Magazine hides her face a little, the Magazine could have been lower for me, love the shadow fringing, How long did you have them without their Mobile Phones lol

Posed, sure, but there's a good dose of impromptu to keep it interesting. Sweet lighting and serious set/prop design, as always.

Thanks for the feedback. Agree the magazine could have been higher. Not sure what is shadow fringing, I did quite a bit of dodging. They were not in the best of moods, but indulged me. Maybe next time I will will do a modern cell phone theme
