 The "devil" is a gargoyle called "the crypt guardian". There is a candle burning behind him, and a 420EX in slave mode behind his right side. The room was quite dark, just illuminated by a tugsten lamp. A 550EX is used in 1/64 of his power to light the front of the devil a bit otherwise, it was too much dark. I had 30 second to light a match, bring it (hidden behind my hand) in the mouth of the devil, uncover the match, "do the tongue" and blow on it. In the same time, the match was illuminating the front of the devil with a yellow color. I also provided light behind his left side with a flashlight.
The red background is obtained with a red blanket...

I usually do not do setup like this a home but I enjoyed the experience! The more I was shooting, the better the photo were getting so I continued until I got that one that I find very scary..

I must say that I'm a bit dissapointed by the result I got, seen the work and setup it asked for. I believe now people dont like scary things!
