I finally found another willing participant for my InkKL project. I got to say, his tattoo is massive and undoubtably a nice one. Still work in progress, I'll have to wait till it's done and properly healed before I get to shoot it.
I'll approach this shoot slightly different from the rest. I want this shot to be more gritty, mixing photography style and Frank Miller's graphical style - much like how "Sin City" was. High contrast, almost black and white with a few hints of colour.
I really like the rain effect as well. Will experiment on that. Here's a rough sketch of what I have in mind. As it's still in work in progress stage, I might change my direction as I go along.
Well if you can't make out my doodle, it's a guy taking a leap from a building - wait, not so much a leap but more like a dive. Cityscape as the background with really dark clouds. Maybe a lightning or two. Rain pouring. Last but not least, feathers all around... some may even be peeling away from the tattoo... It could come across a little clichéd, but I think visually it'll make a nice image.
Will probably work on the background plate first and see how that works. For now, I'll need to look at some locations and find a building ledge which is interesting. It would be great if we have some buildings with stone gargoyles or something similar.
Wish me luck.
