What do you call this type of picture? My friends and I want to get photos like this done, because, well why not?

I see you, and raise you an ugly sweater.

The darkest side of rb witnessed in the whole series. It would be a semi computer related thing upsetting him so much.

Elijah Wood is a Redditor.

Those are amazing.

[–]silencer1581 0 points1 point ago

amazing pictures

[–]sonicbloom 25 points26 points ago

Best thing would be to take the portrait right, then stitch together in PS (or your favorite image editor).

What you need are a dark backdrop (or solid backdrop at least), some off-camera flash with a reflective umbrella (or at least a hotlight/cool light on an umbrella), and of course a decent camera.

Notice in the main picture, Will's chest is facing the light source, while his head is about 20 degrees turned from it. You can see it in the light source reflecting off the frame of his glasses over his left eye. It's also above his head by a couple of feet.

Also if you look at his right shoulder there seems to be a fill light coming in from behing his right ear?

For the head shot only, it looks like just the main key light, but turn the head another 20 degrees or so, it looks about 45 total. No other light source, hence the shadow covering the right side of his face. You can greatly see the reflection or the umbrella or whatever it is causing a sunburst pattern in his glasses.

If you don't have a black or solid background but you do have strobes and umbrellas, you can have whoever taking the shot crank down the exposure value so as to minimize the ambient light, making the flash the only significant light source. Or of course you can just turn off any lights and do it at nighttime.

[–]prehistoric__ 1 point2 points ago

brilliant.

[–]frickindeal 1 point2 points ago

If you don't have a black or solid background but you do have strobes and umbrellas, you can have whoever taking the shot crank down the exposure value so as to minimize the ambient light

When using strobes as primary light, shutter speed controls ambient light, while aperture controls flash exposure (as well as strobe duration, but that's another topic).

The problem with trying to kill a background to black using shutter speed is that you're typically limited by the camera's flash sync speed, usually 1/200 or 1/250, which is often insufficient.

Moving the subject away from the background helps quite a bit if you don't have access to a black background, but there's only so much you can do with exposure given the limitations of flash sync speed in the vast majority of cameras, although the new PocketWizard triggers have hyper-sync, without a flash sync limitation.

[–]sonicbloom 0 points1 point ago

True that on the correction. Maybe high speed flash on an ETTL cord?

[–]frickindeal 0 points1 point ago

Yes, if you're going the 'strobist' route with off-camera flash. Studio strobes don't have high-speed sync, though, so you're stuck at the camera's sync speed.

Take the two pictures of your face with a self-timer and I will Photoshop them together for you.

[–]bakerie -5 points-4 points ago

What about me?

[–]chillybung 10 points11 points ago

I made a sweatshirt like this for a Christmas party :D

Christmas Sweatshirt

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Brilliant!

[–]OhFrabjousMe 0 points1 point ago

best. sweater. ever.

[–]sriris 10 points11 points ago

Look into a photography studio called Portrait Innovations. You can get this fo sho, and get your prints same day ;)

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 16 points17 points ago

Not sure if helpful comment, or just product advertising...

[–]sriris 22 points23 points ago

Just trying to make your dreams come true man.

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 2 points3 points ago

I wonder if anyone would be willing to do it for free?

[–]sriris 5 points6 points ago

Reddit will have the answer to that.

[–]helgihermadur 4 points5 points ago

If you send me photos, I'll do it for you.

[–]MostlyPooping 2 points3 points ago

I'm sure my fiancee would be willing to do a few for free. She needs to expand on her photography portfolio and has her own backdrops.

[–]civicseth 0 points1 point ago

I'd do it for free. I'm in Kentucky, however.

[–]teganyavo 11 points12 points ago

Will Ferrell, ripping off Ken!

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 30 points31 points ago

[–]xNEM3S1Sx 6 points7 points ago

David Cross is brilliant.

[–]TangoEliminated 4 points5 points ago

Analrapist.

[–]sharts_mcgee 3 points4 points ago

Tobias you blowhard.

[–]epikax 4 points5 points ago

I have a copy of that album. It's okay, I guess.

[–]teganyavo 0 points1 point ago

I've never heard it, but I'm sure that's only because I haven't asked Ken to play it for me personally.

[–]Viscerae 0 points1 point ago

You don't have a copy of that album.

[–]mikeyros484 0 points1 point ago

Ken's head on the left looks like a clay forensic facial reconstruction.

[–]ForgetMeNaut 9 points10 points ago

When Will Ferrell does it it's funny, when you do it you look desperate and alone.

[–]wootmonster 0 points1 point ago

No... when Olan Mills did it in the 80's it was funny.

When Will Ferrell does it, he looks like a Hollywood karma whore.

[–]sharts_mcgee 1 point2 points ago

Hey! You don't say that.../:

[–]GadTheCreator 7 points8 points ago

What I'd give for this shirt...

[–]BanditoRojo 1 point2 points ago

I have one but I was 5 years old. This is hilarious. I love the retro shirt too.

[–]StndardWhiteGuy 0 points1 point ago

Who doesn't?

[–]seanrm 0 points1 point ago

Is this from a movie? I feel stupid for asking, like I should know..

[–]jellyshoes11 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure it's from The Other Guys. I may be wrong though!

[–]seanrm 1 point2 points ago

ahhh you're right. I remember now. Sad that I own that and can't remember. It was possibly during the story of Gator

[–]jellyshoes11 0 points1 point ago

Haha! I love that part. :D

[–]seanrm 5 points6 points ago

Best movie subplot I can think of off the top of my head.

[–]jellyshoes11 0 points1 point ago

I concur!

[–]GodzillaIsLaughing 0 points1 point ago

Was my profile picture for a good while. Also, I would have that curly-headed fuck's babies.

[–]Pap3rKitten 0 points1 point ago

I would frame this picture and put it on my wall

[–]spikeparker 0 points1 point ago

You don't really... really!

[–]kickdrive 0 points1 point ago

What is this style of photo called usually? Is there an actual name for it?

If I remember correctly, they actually have a cool scene in the Virgin Suicides that has this same construct, but with moving images. It's quite a lovely effect.

[–]griffith12 0 points1 point ago

funny with Ferrell in it but I remember these from the late 70s, early 80s and that whole style is really fucking lame.

[–]gmick 0 points1 point ago

Just take the image to Kinkos and have them print you out a big version of it and then frame it. Will Ferrell looks good on any wall.

[–]one_wicked_element 0 points1 point ago

You can just print that one out and keep it.

[–]why_no_aubergines 0 points1 point ago

Something a little like this?

Give me your hair/skin/sweater colour, and I'll make a custom coloured one for you OP.

[–]BoredValet 0 points1 point ago

Black hair, tan, black valet shirt... Immortalize me captain!

[–]BoredValet 0 points1 point ago

No glasses or curly hair but it's awesome and I'm honored! Saving this picture forever. The front facing image does capture how bored I am at work quite perfectly!

[–]BoredValet 1 point2 points ago

[–]akern 0 points1 point ago

i like the daisy reflection in the glasses on the happy face

[–]thebanditredpanda 0 points1 point ago

I have one of these from the fourth grade.

[–]thillygooth 0 points1 point ago

I can't believe there's not a web site already that lets you upload 2 pictures and automatically makes one of these. Pure gold!

[–]GapDragon 0 points1 point ago

Why is it the guy on the left looks like Will Ferrell, but the guy on the right doesn't??

[–]astralvortex 1 point2 points ago

Looks like he fights in the Potatogon.

[–]niqdanger 1 point2 points ago

A one and a two and a ching chong potato!

[–]kevik72 0 points1 point ago

Oh man. My brother has one like this from when he was a kid. Complete with mullet. I hope he still has a copy of it.

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Can we see some pics?

[–]Sparrowlet 0 points1 point ago

Groovy glasses and rad shirt!

[–]basec0m 0 points1 point ago

I'm sad to say I had the same Hang Ten shirt...

[–]imthepoolguy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Best self portrait can anyone tell me where this is from?

[–]eldy_ 0 points1 point ago

Look at that jawline!

My mother though that this was a very nice photo.

[–]OhFrabjousMe 0 points1 point ago

One man wolf pack.

[–]tommyjwall 0 points1 point ago

Saved for later. Totally doing this tonight.

[–]userjoe9066 0 points1 point ago

Gator don't play no shit!

[–]sucksbro 0 points1 point ago

I am decent with Photoshop and I never figured out how to do this? Do any of you guys have a tutorial?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Try layer masks with gradients.

[–]lapin0u 1 point2 points ago

the head picture is appropriate lightning, not photoshop
