Christmas 1999

'The Family Tree'

A traditional image of a Christmas tree, with each member of the family reflected in the baubles.  To get this we had to take separate photographs of each person in a different bauble on the tree, and then produce a composite image.

Detail

Alice is reflected in the silver bauble.  Behind her you can just see the photographer himself in the sunlight.  And the blue sky and outside brick wall - the photo shoot entailed setting up the tree in Grandma Edna's garden in Rathmore Road, where we could get high angle natural sunlight.
