^ Nice. Love how simple it is and how good the masks looks combined with a hoodie.

Did you use two speedlights for that? Almost looks like one is placed behind you at your feet on a low power setting.

Jon

Yeah the hoodie sets it off. If I didn't already have that one I was gonna go buy one lol. I only used one flash mounted on the shoe. Bounced it off the ceiling at maybe 70*. It lights up the wall like that every time I take a pic with it as the backdrop. Plus the vignette enhances and rounds the light behind me.

first two were easy using a model to wear the mask...the self portrait proved to be more of a challenge.

I like the purple background and the way it's lit. What lens?

lulz i went crazy last summer and painted my walls purple left the ceiling white.
i bounced my flash off the ceiling creating the blacked out eyes and the white spot behind me. the lens was the 18-105mm kit lens set at 18mm set as low as the tripod went

lol dude the glasses totally make this shot .
im trying to convince my self that asking a professor to pose before class with the mask on in a lecture hall would be a good idea. then again the hard part would be to convince the professor

Thanks. Thought the glasses would add something to it. Going to take a hipster shot with my Raybans on next.

Speedy, the hard part is asking the professor, IMO.
