The #Halloween motif that will be used for a children's photo campaign here in the village this year to benefit the local playground fund. The background was just light gray photo cardboard, but no PS was used. I wouldn't want to use that with X children :-D

Instead a #Godox AK-R21 flash projection attachment was used with a slide of the background. The shadow of the tree on her face was via a #Rosco #gobo in a Godox BFP.
Normally the AK-R21 is designed for the (not powerful enough) on camera flashes. But with a 3D printed adapter, they also work with every flash with Bowens mount. The AD300 was just barely powerful enough to make this shot with 400 ISO.
@schlicksbier Amazing! It's always very interesting to find out how an unusual photograph was created.
@andre Thank you :-). It would be fantastic if more colleagues would share their making ofs …
To demonstrate the value of #photography in this country: there were over 30 children there. The donations generated for the playground(!) fund amounted to just €170.
