FFvXIII - Crystallis Guardby *AmenoKitarou

Photography / People & Portraits / Cosplay

Final Fantasy versus XIII, Noctis cosplay.

Photograph:

Costume + post processing:

(me)

Location: St Mary's Cathedral, in Sydney. (believe me it really is)

The shot:
This picture is my attempt to reproduce the FFv13 Trailer when Noctis intercepts the guards.

This was taken at the recent shoot with twinpants Ryu and Quake. As usual I pestered the photographer about little details of the angle and how I wanted it and we took like 50 retakes.... not to mention there was a mass going on inside the cathedral so there were people going in and out and we were there for like 30 minutes waiting for people to stop getting into our shot

Post work:
This deviation has got to be my post epic post processing work I've ever done in my life.

I played around with lighting and colour and photo filters quite majorly to get the raw shot to have the FFv13 trailer atmosphere going.

I ended up putting like 10 different layers of colour filters and 5-6 lighting filters on top of continuously tweaking the contrast back and forth according to all the changes i make along the way....

For those interested in seeing the raw shot here it is: [link]

See what I mean?

Enjoy!

Whoaaa thats is one epic shot, i beleive it is in sydney too bad it isnt melbourne (:

Dang! That is quite a shot. And quite some post-processing work, the final product turned out amazing though. Colours and lighting really make the photo pop. Though I think the photo wasn't quite leveled in the editing process, since the stairs look a bit slanted and it throws my eye off a bit. The reflection on the glass doors could've been clone stamped out maybe? But despite that, it still looks true to art!
