I had the absolute pleasure of taking a set of fighter portraits from the full contact medieval knight group known as Battle Heritage GB. The day was an elimination to choose the best fighters to represent GB in a European competition happening in Prague later this year. I met Callum (who was dressed as a Urak Hai) at a London Comic Con and we got chatting about general stuff eventually I found out what he did at weekends, which to be honest is just flipping amazing and arranged with him to complete a set of fighter portraits. I arranged initially to visit a training day to set up a full studio however because the training day changed to the eliminations which was held at an indoor equestrian centre, had to improvise and use a single light with no backdrop.
These shots were taken with the Lencarta Safari 2 with a Lencarta 40cm beauty dish. Post included a bit of work in both lightroom and photoshop. Have to say I had been putting off buying the Lencarta Safari, normally using speedlites for location work, however having had it just a short while I've been using it all the time, should have bought it sooner! Mains power on the move is just awesome!
C&C Welcome.
