See the original image of Mr Robot here.
I've been wanting to do this image for a while, after seeing the adverts on the Tube and trying to analyse the lighting used.
For this I used three lights, and a black background. My thoughts were that there was a hard light from the left. Once I got the photo into post and was able to compare closely with the original, actually the light is not completely hard.
Working the pose, specifically positioning in relation to the lights took the longest time. It would have been helpful to have an assistant who could adjust collar, hoodie, etc between shots.
Once I got the image onto the computer and worked the basics in Lightroom, I also used the Brush feature to darken and enhance certain areas selectively. Then into Photoshop to Liquify and create the "Mr Photo" badge.
