Run.


 Run.I love the late Bray Wyatt. At his best, he creates some incredibly memorable visuals, characters, and moments in all of pro wrestling.

Of course, the weekly television drama and the churn that is professional wrestling really didn’t allow characters like the original Bray Wyatt and The Fiend to be at their best all the time. There were a lot of missteps, a lot of mistakes, a lot of bullshit with Randy Orton. But man, when it hit, it hit HARD.

So I definitely wanted to grab this new Elite classic Bray for the collection. The lantern, the swamp cult vibes, just a classic wrestling character.

For this photo, I wanted him uplit, which is a challenge, but I tried something new, and it worked. I have an LED light bar, and I used my green Lego bricks to build a custom rig for it for this shot:


And it worked really well, giving me the lighting I wanted. Lighting tweaks to make the lantern glow in post, a few sketched-in smoke/mist details, and an entrance stage with the Bray Wyatt removed using the new iOS 18 clean up feature and boom, there you go.
