Here’s a few tricks! (Patreon)

For the two lightning focused shots, I used some familiar methods for Black Adam and Billy Batson.

The in left image you might recognize the same set up from my Mr Freeze preview image ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/lighting-tech-11804696 ). Using my LED desk lamp I provided a halo around the back of Adam’s head for a sinister and dramatic image.

On the right, I executed what I should really call my “fake light box” technique. In order to capture a soft light/semi-silhouette I’ll hold a piece of paper above my figures and over the lens of the camera, while using an external flash. This distributes the light more evenly across the top of the image, while light also bounces off the backdrop to give a subtle back-lit impression :)
