'Footprints in the Snow'

Each member of the family has their own characteristic footprint in the snow .  Christmas images of holly and reflective balls add colour to the scene.

Detail

The family is reflected in the silver ball - a theme we return to in the 1999 Christmas card.  Here the family is all reflected in one ball; a composite image.

Secrets

Yes, well, it was of course Persil soap powder as snow, with an outdoor photo-shoot in pretty cold temperatures to get the images.  Here Andrew shoots some of the background images, boosted in height to get the low-angle sunlight to bring out the texture of the snow.
