The quality of those pictures is amazing. May I ask you what your photo hardware is?

I mostly used 5d Mark II, 85mm 1.2 L II and a 600 RT flash with Quikbounce diffuser and a flash bracket.

I did try using my CZ 35mm 1.4 distagon early on, but wasn't happy with the portrait angles. 85mm was tricky in crowded areas but I managed ok!

One more question: been wondering for a long time about what the effect is called used on your first photo in your album (the photo with the 2 dudes with a red mask and cape). I've seen that effect used a few times, and I can't really describe what it is. Does it have a name (e.g. like sepia is an effect name), or what is actually happening? (I thought for a while that 1 color was removed).

Oh and btw that right girl on the mario pic ... wish I was 20y again.

For the star wars 2 x red dudes, the vibrance is +76, the saturation -64 and then I've played with the tonal curve. That's all on this one, not sure what you'd call it.

The girl on the right in the mario pic reminds me of Kate out of lost
