Here’s a handful of images during the photoshoot!

I tried something different this time with Dr Fate’s Helmet. In order to get it that bright gold color, I used my LED IKEA Lamp and a bit of paper to reflect light off of the helmet!

The four images on the left were just a handful of experimental attempts. Ultimately I settled on the lighting set-up of that bottom right image. In post production I composted that bottom right Helmet reflection to the Top Left image to avoid the paper in the middle of the final image.

(That sentence made sense in my head but re-reading that paragraph was a bit all over the place! Please feel free to ask questions :P)

And of course on the right we have the build set-up with my mountain facades borrowed from a few of Roman’s old builds!  And a temple built after Steven Woolfe's Johnny Thunder Yeti Hideout set redesign!

During the idea stages of this photograph, I was adhering to some visual cues implied from the League of Shadows location from Young Justice. Plus a little inspiration from the foothills in Batman Begins with the flagpoles and the slightly melted snow where Bruce’s journey up the mountain starts.

But that's all I have to say about this one. I captured the idea that I was striving towards, but I'm not sure if the execution was up to my standard. I'd love to hear what you guys thought of this one though!

Original ideas don't always fly, but I had to see if I could do it! :P
