It’s Sunday, which as always, means it is time for our ACBA image of the week.
This week we have fembot Transformers, always great to see!
Marq Wong is providing the artwork this time around, we reached out to Marq to find out how this shot came to be, and this is what he told us:
“I have always been amazed and fascinated by dramatic lighting in photography. With that inspiration in mind, I decided to recreate an old shot that i have done months ago. The ladies involved are the fembots collections from MasterMind Creations, a 3rd Party Transformers company.”
“From the left we have Salvia Prominon with her mace, in red is Eupatorium and hidden in the shadow, Stealth Assassin Azalea.”
“Hiding behind the wall is Stealth Assassin Azalea, I wanted to capture a scene of her hiding in the dark corner waiting for an opportunity to strike down her enemy. This is the joy of toy photography, creating your own story, letting your creativity flow and expressing it through the action figures.”
“As for the set-up, the mechanical door is projected using a monitor. To give an illuminated feel around the door area, an LED tube is placed in between the monitor and the mechanical chain base. There are an additional 2 more lightings, 1 on top for the cat walking ladies and the other is by the side for the peek-a-boo assassin, and there it is, an epic battle is about to start! Not sure how did I fair on getting the dramatic lighting feel but I certainly am happy with what i have achieved.”
“Thank you to both Purple Revolver and to ACBA for featuring my work.”
