Falcon Portrait — 1

This is the Iron Studios 1/10 Art Scale (Samuel Thomas “Sam” Wilson) aka FALCON who is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was introduced by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan in Captain America #117 (Sept. 1969), and was the first Black American superhero in mainstream comic books.

I photographed the piece (which looks remarkably like the actor) against an AI generated background which I then had printed at PRINTIQUE.COM

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 particle effects in BorisFX 2022.5.

Roughly 90% of my photos are finished in Topaz Labs’ product called Topaz Photo AI. It is a one click sharpening, noise reduction, resolution enhancement tool that uses AI to see what your photo needs and only applies as much correction as is required and only to the areas that require it.
