Riddler Photo Part 3 of 3

The Riddler Part 3 of 3

This is the Iron Studios 1/10 Art Scale Riddler. It’s one of my favorites.

I decided to post a series of three images. I usually work up three to five angles with each piece. I try to tell a little part of the character’s story or use a different point of view with each image. They have to stand on their own but I need to “work the subject.” Meaning (what’s called getting lots of “coverage” in the video world) so I can edit later to tell the story I want to tell.

Then I’ll put the piece down for a while and try again — usually coming up with even more ideas and sometimes even figuring out how to involve multiple pieces so I can tell a bigger story.

This is the final “reveal” shot — where we see The Riddler on his throne.

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 Boris FX 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.
