"Merry Christmas" Created for Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance

Merry Christmas

December 23, 2013

If you look closely on the top right you'll see a hint of the umbrella my assistant is holding. In the final image this is taken out but it's worth showing here.

What you can't see in this image is the fun my crew had bringing this image to life. The kids had a ball pretending to enter the front door over and over again, and I had a ball directing the family. I love creating images like this because they are not poses; they are recreations of real moments. I had the family come through the door over and over and each time the energy increased until I felt we had enough variations.
