 Yay! Final exam was this morning and this is Gummi who is a classmate. We didn´t have anything better to do so we decided to go out after dark in a cemetary and play around. A girl who knows Henný took care of the makeup, she is a specialist in special effects makeup and she put on a bullethole and two open cut´s in the face wich I am sure isn´t very visible in this particular photo.

Anyway, had a real good time taking this photo, am pretty sure it will do poorly in the challenge but I don´t care, both me and Gummi really like it and have plenty of fun outtakes that I might share after the challenge is over.

Post processing was just basic raw conversion along with curves and shadow/highlight adjustments, darkened the t-shirt with the replace color tool in PS.

Lit with a single bowens monolight with a 75° softlite reflector, handheld, didn´t use a tripod for this one as I wanted the movement in the backround to come across, I deliberately moved the camera slowly after the monolight "froze" Gummi and his immediate surroundings.

I'm really suprised this didn't do better. As Far as this challenge went this was one of the best and most imaginitive.

My mom used to get so freaked out when I would bring home boys like him. Is that a Morbid Angel shirt? Great photo.

wouldnt like to walk there on my own, you certainly have shown death as something frightening.

I think this is the only metal-ly photo in the challenge. I think you did a great job. love the pose and the location. not too fond about the lights at the background.

Nice work; I love the way the cross and zombie are both crisp while the lights are shaky. Very cool.

awesome shot man. maybe a touch too much illumination on the face. Not sinister enough
