This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

Hello again everyone. I hope all of you are doing great. Its raining over here at my place and it makes me very slow on doing my house chores and work. At the moment I am working at home. Doing all my task at home while waiting for the office and studio finished all the paper work.

So today I will share another black and white portraiture of Ray. This one portraiture is a little bit special. Ray was using his hand made Captain America cosplay and props for the shoot. He previously told me that he wanted to take his hand craft Captain America for a proper studio photoshoot. At first I assume that it will be like latex kind of suit. But I was wrong. He made the Captain America suit from a foam type of material.

I asked him how long did he took to finished all the props and suit. It was three to four months of work. It took that long because of the shortage of material and he still had to work daily shift. But looking into his hand craft, I am amazed on how much talented he was. The Captain America suit is amazing. He made all the tiny details on the suit and it made the suit look better.

So I made a three light setup for the shoot. I put two lighting on his side as a rim lighting and one umbrella on the front as a fill light. I had to take some test shoot to balance the lighting and get the look that I wanted before we proceed for the actual photoshoot.

Below are some of his best shoot.
