Selfie as Santa imposter during Covid lockdown.
Canon 5DSR, Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 T* ZE lens. 2 Profoto B2 strobes with snoots. To achieve light distribution and falloff I wanted I attached cones made of black sinefoil to snoots to make opening for light less than 1 cm and placed end of cones no more than 3 inches away from my eyes. They are literally in the frame hidden in the shadows.
Main challenge with this manual focus lens was to keep myself in pre-focused area, as even at f/11 when camera placed this close DOF is less that 2".
