Deadline Promotional Portraits
During a short film I was a part of, we were in need of some promotional material. I was tasked with taking some pictures with one of our actors and decided to go with a noir look. You’ll notice hard shadows and highlights and intense black and whites. The color grade is based off of the short film and has a green undertone.
Beaten and Restrained Portrait
Another promotional photo used for the short film is of one of our actors appearing beat up and restrained. Again using the signature color grade of the film. Another thing to note is how the light appears to be coming from an opening door. This was actually done with a strobe in order to create a darker background. Shown below is the poster this photo was then used in deigned by myself.
The Main Promotional Image
The last image is the photo used as the main image for promotional material. This photo follows many of the characteristics of the other photos, keeping in theme.
