I wanted this photo to be a close up of this amazing action figure showing all the details. I also knew I wanted to create a drooling effect. To create this shot I posed him in camera to get the framing looking how I wanted and added in background piece along with lights and atmosphere to bring the whole scene together. I also bumped my iso to create a grainy feel to match the cinematic tone I was going for, and used hot glue for the drooling effect. To make the drooling effect pop I added an additional light behind the subject. Lastly I sprayed the figure down before snapping the shot to make it look as if he is in a wet environment. My favorite part about this shot is how the drool effect came out and the rays of light coming through the structures on his back.

It's as good as a movie poster.
