Two kings I
Juxtaposition (noun) - an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
* side by side - check
* contrast - check
Two lights, one reflector an two flags.
Light #1, in a small softbox (25x25cm) at camera left, slightly behind the subjects.
Light #2 aimed at the background.
Flag #1, behind the white king, to provide a dark background behind it.
Flag #2, in front of light #1, to stop the spill into the flag #1.
Reflector #1, to the right of the white king, to provide some light on the right edge and emphasize its whiteness and the black-white contrast of the kings.
Pullback shot of the scene is available at www.flickr.com/photos/147445314@N06/shares/3a8hQ2
Almost no postprocessing. Basic straighten/crop, dust removal, contrast, clarity and curves/levels only. All done in Nikon's Capture NX-D, my new RAW processing tool.
