This was a series of digital photo collages I worked on with my wife, Jennie and sent out as holiday cards.
Here is Jennie and me taking a break from holiday stress by taking a bath in cups of hot cocoa.
This was one of our most successful jobs at matching color and lighting, because we took the photos of us at exactly the same time and place as the photos of the hot cocoa. Once we had the photos, this was one of the easier Photoshop images I worked on due to how perfectly the lighting matched.
This was our holiday card for 2006. At the time we lived within sight of the Grand Lake Theater.
This started as a photograph of the Grand Lake Theater area in full sunshine with no snow. I then found a tutorial online that showed how to create the illusion of snow within Photoshop. Incorporating Jennie and me into the scene required a lot of careful decision making about how to incorporate our feet so that they looked like they were part of the scene.
Just putting the last sprinkles on before the big holiday party.
We lived in a pretty small apartment when we made this card, so we struggled to find a good spot to take the photos of us from this elevated angle. Also, we had pretty poor lighting for our photos. Still, my proudest achievement with this one was creating the fake reflection under Jennie.
