Steve has an alter ego…\u00a0Strider<\/strong> the ranger of the north. I found photos of Steve on an internet portal and was impressed with his costume. I asked if he would model for me as I had several ideas in the back of my head for a while now, and before I knew it we were in the studio<\/a>. Knowing that the “Jedi Girl”<\/a> would be interested in a shoot like this I asked her to join.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Aragorn, son of Arathorn<\/strong> is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, one of the main protagonists of The Lord of the Rings<\/em>. He was originally a Ranger of the North, first introduced by the name Strider<\/strong> at Bree, which the Hobbits continue to call him throughout The Lord of the Rings<\/em>. He was eventually discovered to be not simply a Ranger, but the heir of Isildur, rightful claimant to the thrones of both Arnor and Gondor. He was also a close confidant of Gandalf, and as such an integral part of the quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat the Dark Lord Sauron.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t out to recreate scenes from “Lord of the Rings” but it definitely was a large motivation for all of us involved in the shoot. Especially with Steve being so motivated by the character Arogorn. My lighting concept was to shoot everything blow f8, I wanted the big screen cinema depth of field. And to create a 3 dimensional look with props and depth of field.<\/p>\n

My other goal was to create a mystical look through lighting and smoke affects, you know all that standard fantasy film stuff. Although this was Steve’s first shoot as a model he did a fantastic job and bought a lot of ideas and suggestions with him.<\/p>\n

As for the lighting I use several different setups<\/p>\n
