Chuck can you tell us a big about your photo? "Imperator Furiosa was shot at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. The model Carla Leanzo was shot outdoors, in the shade. There aren’t really any post-apocalyptic settings in downtown San Diego, so we shot at the convention center. Later, in Houston, I shot the rear wheels of a dump truck, and composited in Photoshop." - Chuck
