Jester at work
This was on here a while back. It has been reworked and I am finally happy with it.
I got all the props except the costume from my local charity shop and second hand shop.
I added animal textures to the mask to stop it looking plastic. Also textures were added to the wall and clothing. I added animal teeth to the mouth and animal nails to the fingers. The blood was also added in post.
Lighting info - strip light softbox @ camera left and slightly behind Jester and a SB 80 bare @ camera right and low.
Both the lights were angled to imitate the candle lights. Also the settings on the camera and lights were set so i wouldn't overpower the candles.
I would of just used the candle lights and no lighting, but my camera gets to noisy above ISO200. (I need that new gear
)

A great image again Jon. I just love your processing techniques. Lots of time and effort put into it and result always shows well.

Very dramatic, it looks like it was taken from a stage production

It reminds me of a mixture between Iron Maiden & Marillion.
