I would like to start this post by making it very clear that I am in no way a photoshop master. I do have a solid grasp of how to use it to manipulate photos when necessary to create special photos like the one showcased here.
The family pictured don't get much time all together as both of the adult sons work FIFO jobs. (Thats Fly In - Fly Out, for example they might spend two weeks away on the job, then 4 days home.)
So over the Christmas period, they missed each other by one day. One son left for work the day before the other son arrived home. However we were able to create this family photo for them using the magic of photoshop.
The photo of the family on the left was taken on Monday, and the photo of the family on the right was taken the following Saturday in the same location at the same time of day (although the shadows would suggest otherwise argh!).
Obviously being outside we had to work with different weather conditions on the two days, Saturday was MUCH windier than Monday. The tide was at a different level and the weed on the beach had increased a lot during the week.
But with some careful thought before starting the first shoot and with a lot of help from photoshop I was able to create this gorgeous family memory of Christmas 2015 for this family.
