Looking for the future - Happy new year 2016

Happy new year to all of you "Flickr Photo lovers" !!!

I wanted to make this picture of my family since a while. I saw this idea of shot before on Flickr but I wondered how can I make it OMG.

Here is my process : I took a shot of each model to have the same amount of light, to have the same focus and to facilitate the equal distance between each model and eye alignement (just can't imagine how to make it while I am on the shot...). Moreover, my family use to be bored when I ask them for a shot... :) so I had to ask them "Hey, come and have a sit for a single quick shot please".

Then I worked on Photoshop to create the final shot. I worked hard to improve my skills on this software and to use my new Wacom Intuos pro Small graphic tablet.

I softened the skins a bit too.

I made a broder with mogrify and put in black and white in Lightroom.

Strobist info : Shoot through a white umbrella with one speedlight facing the model (1 m @1/4 I think).
