I love to do toy photography on Halloween and Ironman is my favourite superhero in all of MCU. This year I decided to do a Halloween Photoshoot with Ironman but he is not a scary guy like Json or Penniwise so I have to do something to make him Halloween friendly. And then I found a Zombie Ironman Funko Pop! And I also remembered I recently made some Tombstone props for my action figures, which may work quite well with my Funko Pop as well!
The setup is quite simple, a grass base, some carved pumpkin, artificial plants, bunches tombstone props and a tree prop for some extra depth. I played with the background a bit and finally figured that a darker one is the best in blue. Also lighting from one side give him that extra creepiness!
To capture this beautiful shot I used my trusty old Nikon D3100 with Nikor 55-200mm telephoto lens for that background compression and bokeh. Though the background dint do much by adding character but it worked it magic by adding some interest. As I shoot RAW, I could pick up a lot of details for the original photo here. So I basically have to do very less in Adobe Photoshop.
As the photo is too good, I dint do much to it except some color correction as the original purple looked a bit too comic! After the color correction the scene is set and bit of close cropping sealed the deal. After all it is Halloween so having fun is equally important just like a child. Happy Halloween everyone, have a safe one.
