Iridescent Xenomorph.

Hit apon an idea yesterday to light the xenomorph, using the iridescent paper to give the figure a more realistic insect quality. Did try a few diffrent versions but ended up keeping it simple as too many other light sources ruined the iridescence.

All the lightpainting was done in one 30 second or so exposure, by hand lighting the figurine with a small torch and the rainbow paper to get some nice colours reflecting on the skin, then a blast of vape and a pop of gelled flash, diffused and set to full power behind.

Chucked it in photoshop to remove a few spots of dust on the flooring and into lightroom for a bit of vignetting , slight contrast boost and watermark.
