Meet our friend the face thief. With just a few cuts and a peel; he can be anyone and anything he wants to be – even you! Don’t worry about the precision in his cuts, he’s wearing a doctor’s face after all.
For this shot, we made fake faces out of latex (using a dummy head) and put makeup on them. Also, the emphasis was on harsh lighting from low angles to create deep shadows – the type of shadows you normally try to avoid. During this shot one of the bulbs from one of my strobes just straight up fell out and broke on the floor which was upsetting because those bulbs are expensive however since this was an open basement shot, I just used the reflective background to my advantage for this.
From here on for the month of October we should have something Halloween related up every Wednesday. This week got a little wonky so that’s why we started on a Saturday for this.
