Boba Fett & Fennec Shand

One of the most intriguing aspects of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett has been the dynamic between the Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. They’ve been devoted to each other, surprising because that is not something often found with assassins or wranglers in this universe. Interestingly, as their bond deepened on Tatooine, Fennec opted to become Boba’s enforcer.

I photographed the piece against 3D printed background that I had made and which was inspired by the Disney TV series.

I made this with my Fujifilm X Series US #x100v mounted on a Platyball and Platypod — I used a combination of Photoshop and Topaz Photo AI to edit in post. I also added the color grade in BorisFX 2022.5.

I purposely used a shallow depth-of-field so that Shand would be noticeable in the background but not prominent in this photo since the story here is she’s backup to Boba Fett. Next time I will just highlight her.
