The Duke of the Apocalypse

There was a LARP fare in my region at the beginning of the year. Since Live Action Role Players put a lot of effort in their disguises, but sometimes end up with crappy images I wanted to take part and create some appropriate imagery for them.

Actually I ended up digging into a huge community of quite crazy, funny and particularly lovely people. Especially the guys from the end time genre were keen on posing for me. We had so much fun and ended up with a massive collection of great photo.

I might put up some more if you're interested.

 

Lighting setup

I shot on location against the sun with a roleplayer using a reflector as a fill light. Can you spot it in his glasses? We found a nice wall that we could use as a degraded background.

 

I wanted to give the images a nice gritty and messed up look, so I created this preset: Basically I cranked up the clarity, the darks and the contrast. Then I warmed the color temperature up and put some golden tones in the highlights.

All pretty basic, yet I like the result.
