Anyone who really knows me, knows I like Star Wars and all that it entails. This includes the costuming culture in this world. I have several friends who have completed their Star Wars costumes and have even been inducted into a costuming club. These clubs are not just about creating cool looking costumes. They also attend charity events and help raise money for all sorts of causes. You might be surprised to find out how much of a boost in charitable donations they provide just by showing up. The most famous of these groups is the 501st or Vader's fist (the group is so popular that they were included in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith).
The images I took recently are of my close friend, David Wilson, in his Dark Jedi costume. These images are for his acceptance into The Dark Empire costuming club. This particular club deals entirely in the Sith lords and Dark Jedis of Star Wars. Many of the costumes are completely custom while others are canon (Darth Maul, Vader, Palpatine).
The overall images were shot using natural light and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. I also used Color Efex Pro and Knoll Lightfactory for some special effects looks.
