Dr. Egon Spengler vs. Twinkie the Kid Setup

Posted to Flickr on 26 December 2010. Part of the Setup series.

This is the setup photo for Dr. Egon Spengler vs. Twinkie the Kid.

The backdrop is made of two sheets of scrapbooking paper held in place with sticky notes. Both figures stand on top of glittery scrapbooking paper.

The figures are lit with push-lights on either side of the camera. Twinkie the Kid gets an artificial sun from an incandescent flashlight.

Above the scene a large circular diffuser softens the ambient light in the room. A dark strip of fabric is positioned above the scene to darken it a bit.
