tribute to dying light

my tribute / homage to the video game dying light.

in dying light the player has to survive a zombie apocalypse in a near-east city.

the game combines elements of survival, horror, action, parcours and role playing genres.

it's a beautiful game and i absolutely love the zombie-hands-artwork - so i wanted to see if i can create a similar effect with classic photography but without too much postprocessing or an exotic setup.

 

what i used to create this picture:

* late daylight (sun at a low angle)

* my hands to create the shadows

* a white door to cast the shadows on

* a curtain in front of the window to get background shadows/structure

* some postprocessing to combine different shots of my hands, to get a grainy look and a gradient to get a fade to black at the bottom
