Process
Without a powerful enough light source to expose all my subjects, we came up with the solution to boom a softbox to each face, and composite them in post. This allows for much more dramatic lighting for each face and control of power. Exposures were captured for each face, the statue's head, and the arm to give enough detail in post.
In Lightroom, all shots were color graded before being exported to photoshop, where a total of 6 photos were layered with masks used to compensate for lighting, detail, and background distractions.

Inspiration
Final Fantasy XV showcases a boss fight with Titan, a Deity of the world and represents the aspect of earth.
This photo represents the triumphant victory of the four main characters against Titan, as they rest on his head. The art installation used is The Awakening, located in Maryland, which coincidentally bears a semblance to the stone god.
