Gigantor!

Well, I’ve been contemplating putting some images up here that I had originally posted on my original blog over a year ago in some other crop or treatment for a while. This is the first. Visitors that are new to my work will see these as new, but I hope that even those that have seen some of the images before will enjoy the new perspective on them. This is a “portrait” of one of my favorite all time cartoon characters in action figure form. His name is Tetsujin, but kids in America knew him as Gigantor.

model: Tetsujin (Gigantor)
makeup/hair: uh… what?
camera/film: Horseman LX 4×5. Schneider 150mm 5.6 APO-Symmar. Polaroid Type 55.
lighting: One open Speedotron head (11″ reflector) pointing down, and a Chimera XS Super Pro softbox below, pointing up.
