We chose to create the portrait in the late afternoon to take advantage of the suitable light that sculpted the landscaping in the background, but provided indirect sunlight on the family. (An hour earlier, the deck was in full sunlight) We took the time to add additional light with a 1600 ws strobe to add dimension to the beautiful, but somewhat flat light on the subjects. This strobe provided the right amount of "seasoning" of light to bring dimension and depth to the group to match the eye pleasing landscape and home in the distance.
Finally, the 32"x50" framed portrait was painted to enhance overall presentation over the stone fireplace mantle. Now, regardless of where the family roams, they will always be together.
