This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.
Hello and greeting everyone in the community. Today post are the continuation of yesterday's post about Ellie as Harley Queen. Ken as the Joker in Batman.
I am using the same setup as Ellie portrait setup. One main light using the Godox AD600 with a beauty dish including the honeycomb diffuser, mounted on a tripod at 45 degree angle to create a a light slightly like the Rembrandt and Broadway lighting.
Ken was so tall that I had to adjust the lighting higher than the previous setting. The light spread was different but it still works for me. It was my first time working with Ken and I had to do some warmup shoot for him as for ice braking and getting to know more about him. It was easy to work with him and he knows what pose he needed to do.
Below are some of his best shoot taken during the studio session.
EXIF - 1/250 sec | f/5.6 | ISO-100 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

One last photo below was taken more than ten takes. I need to get Ken into a position with all the Poker Cards was thrown to the camera. We had several good take but some of them had the card covering Ken's face and some of the cards was way out of the frame.
But this last one I think we managed to get one good shoot.
EXIF - 1/250 sec | f/5.6 | ISO-100 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias
I was hopping to get one "Ace" card or the "Joker" card in front of the camera but it was like impossible, plus I want to get it on one raw shoot without doing a photo composite. In the end this was the best that I can get. I think for next time setup with this kind of pose I should add more card deck on the had for the throw.
And that is all from me today. I hope that all of you enjoy my post. I hope to see you guys on my next post. Have a great day and stay safe always. Cheers!
