The Contemporary Tyrant
Bryan challenged me to create a more powerful example of using the Light Blaster as the main light. And I'm glad he did.
For this image, I'm using a projection of a scale model of ancient Rome. Even though I tried to prevent the projection from striking the background (by positioning it high and pointing it downward), some of the projection appeared in the lower part of my frame. Instead of cropping it out, I decided to paint the out-of-focus projection areas yellow (using a new layer set to Color blend mode and masking out the areas where the "flames" do not appear).
strobist: 1 Canon 580EX, above (and slightly in front of) camera, shot through a Spiffy Gear Light Blaster with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens attached. 2 Canon 580EX flashes, camera left and right (behind subject), gridded, used as rim lights. Flashes triggered via Cybersyncs. Setup shot here.
