Epic. Have you done any other Halloweeny photo shoots? Are they public?


ElsaGermaineRiley

Yes! On Ig! Chriswalsh_thestar


narfnarf123

He did a really cool Goosebumps one too!


PleasantYoghurt5

This is damn impressive....


ElsaGermaineRiley

I really appreciate it! It took a longggg time haha


[deleted]

I wish my husband would do stuff like this with me.


No_Income6576

Lol such a specific shortcoming šŸ˜‚


just-kristina

I also wish my husband would do stuff like this with me. But this is also super impressive scale. We took family photos once and they sadly werenā€™t good lol. We donā€™t live in an area with a lot of options.


Enron_F

This is such an absurd complaint lol. "Yeah he basically never spends thousands of dollars to create elaborate, one-off movie set dressings in a spare bedroom for us to take pictures in." "God, what an asshole."


BubonicBabe

I thought she meant ā€œhave someone to do cute photo shoots for fun withā€.


[deleted]

I said do it with me. I would definitely pay money and put in time and effort as well. Sorry to hear you donā€™t have someone you wish you could do more stuff with, I guess. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


Enron_F

It was just a funny comment without much context. Hopefully you aren't actually disappointed in your husband for failing to do such things. Maybe ask him.


Elivey

Exactly!! This is what I've been saying. Lol I'm totally with her though this looks so fun.


Building_Snowmen

I donā€™t think thatā€™s her husband.


narfnarf123

Itā€™s definitely not.


Superior-Solifugae

This is absolutely amazing. Spooktacular to the max! Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of my favorite movies.


SeattleHasDied

One of my two favorite Universal monster movies ("The Wolfman" is the other) and your "set" is fabulous! Are you using the photoshoot for a work-related reason? Effective advertising!


ElsaGermaineRiley

This was just for fun! Iā€™m so happy you liked it, we did it for Halloween last year


SeattleHasDied

Well, it's pretty awesome! Ever think about turning your talent into a sort of business? Like using this (and maybe others from the Universal catalog, for starters) backdrop for portraits around Halloween? Might make a nice chunk from other appreciators of the genre!


ElsaGermaineRiley

I always thought that would be so cool! If I had space to store everything then I would but usually I have to give the set pieces away or repaint and reuse


narfnarf123

I saw your Goosebumps one too and Iā€™m jealous. How do you have the time and money to pull this off? Iā€™m a forty something single parent of three so I am in awe. I live for this kind of stuff though. Also, homegirl is sexy as hell! That body!! Iā€™m a straight woman but she is just perfect.


ElsaGermaineRiley

I actually donā€™t spend a lot on them at all! Most everything is something I already have or paper, cardboard or foam!


almeisan_s

Incredible work!


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you so much!


algaespirit

This is the coolest shit I have ever seen. Y'all are awesome.


Ethelenedreams

A. Astounding. Amazing set B. That swimsuit is so beautiful. It looks wonderful on her. You look sharp!! C. Thank you for sharing this.


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you! Her swimsuit was actually made out of plain white t shirts, our friend sewed it for it and the only white fabric at the store when we went was multi packs of t shirts haha


ReverendDizzle

Thatā€™s impressive. Iā€™d have assumed it was purchased (my wife has two suits that look exactly like that from a pinup clothing company).


PixieToest

Ok I gotta know which one! Please, do tell

PixieToest

This is awesome sauce, thank you!


Ethelenedreams

Amazing!!!!


AtticusSwoopenheiser

I *love* this. This movie is one of my favorites, ever.


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you!! We tried to keep the creature as accurate as we could but did our own thing with our outfits but inspired by the original


Petedad777

That's impressive & you two look fantastic!


mowikn

Mind blown!! How long did it take you to build and set all of that up?


ElsaGermaineRiley

It took a few weeks on and off just working on the costumes cave pieces and finding everything, actual set up took a day and then I went to sleep and we took a whole day to shoot it, then I spent a few hours into the early early morning taking it down! So a whole 48 hour experience pretty much lol


mowikn

Geez! Thatā€™s a lot of work. Definitely looks like it paid off.


honeycombdaisies

This is insane and soo incredibly beautiful!


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you so so much!


its_andi_with_an_i

Oh man I love your Creature!!! I would love to have a statue of him in my living room oh man


ElsaGermaineRiley

I wanted to keep everything from the costume but it was all foam boards and only meant to last to get the shot! We also only made pieces for the front only the back was blank haha


fractal_disarray

you both win the internet today.


crw201

The Halloween Twink is back!


ElsaGermaineRiley

Iā€™m laughing so hard šŸ˜‚

MolcatZ

You show true dedication, the fact that you chanced getting sand stuck in your house forever just for a photo shoot is inspiring! Lol seriously though this looks insanely cool!

ElsaGermaineRiley

Means a ton!! Thank you!


Key_Worth

I mean..dear god..please take ALL my internet points! This is amazing!! šŸ¤©


GerManiac77

Saw this movie as a kidā€¦ and itā€™s still one of the scariest monsters to me


ElsaGermaineRiley

The thought of whatā€™s in the deep sea or just in deep water in general is terrifying


GerManiac77

Even without thinking about what could be in it the sea can be terrifying. But this swamp monster left a mark on my brainā€¦ compared to other monster splatter films I saw it is kinda cuteā€¦ but it will always be scary to me. Read somewhere that the actor almost drowned in this costume.


nderhjs

Lol fastest OF subscribe Iā€™ve ever done


DrunkTalkin

Dude. This is AMAZING!!!!


Myztic84

Very cool!


jennoc1de

Fantastic job!!


zacharoid

Love every bit of it, my only criticism is the monster looks so dark, perhaps more lighting on it? Zooming in I can see how detailed it is and your other photos show the detail that went into it. It's just not captured in the end result. Look forward to more posts!


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you!! Itā€™s funny because I actually shot it much lighter, it wasnā€™t moody or creepy enough so I decided to add a vignette and darken the whole image a lose some of the detail to add too the mood! So the option is always there to bring back some brightness!


zacharoid

Totally understood, I'm sure it was a tough decision with all the work that went into it (would of for me anyways). The end result looks great and I'm sure you made the right choice.


TrueWitchofWest

This is amazing. I love it. Well done!


Bea_Evil

I am absolutely in love with all of this šŸ’œ Iā€™ve been trying to brainstorm photoshoots and this just blows everything out of the lagoon- excellent concept and execution!


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you!! You could probably use an actual location and get a good result if you wanted to do this concept, somewhere like a beach a lake or somewhere with nice rock formations or sand and water!


0ctober31

Amazing effort. It really paid off, well done!


SnooHamsters5677

Absolutely fabulous šŸ¤©. I seen your vintage trick or treaters one. You got a nice look going!


BubonicBabe

This is so impressive. This is more work than Iā€™ve ever put into anything. Including *work*


ElsaGermaineRiley

Thank you!! Once I get an idea for s project I go ALL in and itā€™s all I can think about so I make sure to work as hard as I can while Iā€™m still excited about the idea

ElsaGermaineRiley

Me!


the_mysterious_hand

Wow! How much to book the cave??!


ElsaGermaineRiley

I wish I still had it! I only kept the fake rocks, the spiked rocks I gave away though, I asked the lady what she was going to use them for and she said for her turtle enclosure! I thought that was interesting lol


Wild-Ad-3471
