"I'm going through changes" - a photo on Flickriver

Inspired title from the Black Sabbath song "Changes" and from the journey my boys are undertaking as they learn to become men. Image inspired by the wonderful work of "Tortured Mind Photography" by Petri Damstén.

View On Black

I recently found Petri's work on flickr and not only did it strike a chord with me for personal reasons but it inspired me to learn from his "how to do it" methodology. He has some wonderful images on his photostream and lots of helpful hints on lighting on his blog too!

The easy part was setting up the shot, and the hard part was getting the boys to keep still this morning! Not known for their co-operation but we got there in the end, then it was the tricky job of pasting the images together in photoshop! As this was a first time I've allowed myself a little celebration moment but will work on getting the lighting more balanced for future efforts and I may try and smile!

Make sure to check out Petri's awesome photostream and blog!
