Those awful, awful, loud bug the end of summer are Cicadas (in America anyway). Coworker found this dead guy and a luna moth on the front porch. Anyway, wanted to treat this guy with respect, but since they are so hated by most, i wanted to do so in a creepy way. Then i thought: Jersey Style a la Mark K — Jersey Style a la Mark K (Not that he’s creepy, i mean, but he’s got this Noir thing).

STROBIST: Canon 580EXII TTL gridded flash directly above with green gel (not that it comes through on this version). 2nd flash my right with built-in Canon wireless slave. Hobby style printer paper left of bug as reflector.

100mm macro lens. Used Lightroom to create greyscale then add split toning.
