Ok well, Im trying to do a "Casino" theme shoot of myself. At the moment, its just me and the timer! But I would just like to see what ideas could come up.

"Whats the twist?" I hear you ask.

Well, its to promote my Grand Theft Auto Collection.

"GTA?!" Yes, GTA. That game im sure you have all heard of in some form or other.

Heres, my collection as of about 2 months ago...

Well, since then, I have acquired these, atleast:

Burger Shot T-Shirt.
Vice City T-Shirt.
GTA 3 T-Shirt.
Vice City Cap.
GTA IV Logo T-Shirt (White Version)
GTA IV Swingers Foam Hand.
“GTA IV” Number Plate.
TW@ Mouse mat.
GTA IV Brown Paper Bag (I have 2 now)
Some Posters.
Lots more stickers.
GTA IV Special Edition.
SA Dominos
LCS
VCS
Swingers Hat
More stickers
Big brown Bag
Postcards
Pibwasser
Matches

Now, for my "Casino" theme picture, I was thinking of being at a table, like a poker table maybe. Or just my table at home with a green cloth, with the following items:

Gold Coins
Beer Mats
Drinks Holder
Playing Cards
Dominos
Dice
Poker Chips
Casino Card
Pibwasser Lager
Matches
Maybe framed pictures or posters on wall?

I havent been able to get my hands on the SA Cigarette Papers or Lighter yet, but thats ok.

I dont smoke either, so would it be best to have a smoky feel to it?

I got the idea from this picture of 007:

Though, I feel I should wear some of the clothing, but im undecided at the moment.

What do you think? Any layout ideas I could try?

Thankyou!

Ryan.

hrm. I'd do it with a single light from right above, maybe doing it with a mock game table or something to that effect. You might want to flag the light though, so that it doesn't spill over too much and help to create that shadowy effect in the above photo. Maybe a barndoor will do it? Instead of actual smoke, you could use some incense smoke, I've done some neat smoke effects with incense before.

and use one of your grand theft auto posters in the background, lit by one light effect, maybe 1 stop under the main overhead light.

or you could pay me 2k to fly over to wherever you live and shoot it for you :P

I think it might be a bit better/easier if I get someone to help me aswell. Even to take them. Think I know what I want. :p

Getting a hot model would definitely help. You could also PP this to look like a video game screen capture I suppose.
