Before you ask, zero AI was used here. I have been doing a personal project with cosplayers and LARPers, partially because I wanted to learn how to composite. I shot.Vidar, the subject in my studio. He didn't even have an arrow when I certainly didn't want him, pointing one at me in a strung bow. .I later hung an arrow from a string and photographed it separately, then Photoshoped it in, I used overlays of fire, which I then added motion effects and distorted with the liquefy brush. I also added some smoke and ember overlays. Then there was color grading. Finally a little bit of grain all over to tie it together. I shot it using a Nikon D750, and lit it with a.Flashpoint eVolv 200 and a deep 36-inch double diffused octa with a grid
