Wonder Woman

Ruth has an amazing collection of Wonder Woman items in her office. But as our plans progressed, we knew she couldn’t just sit or stand near Wonder Woman. We wanted her to be Wonder Woman in front of pillars at Paradise .

We looked around both the Summerville and Health Sciences campuses for suitable architecture. While Phil took pictures of columns at Summerville, he eventually decided to use a picture of the historic Medical College of Georgia.

Tim Johnson, senior video producer, helped us secure metal Wonder Woman accessories from Vintage Ooollee, an Augusta costume shop. Setting Ruth in front of a black cloth background in our photo studio, we dramatically lit her as she struck the bangles into a signature Wonder Woman pose. Phil combined the building and our heroine in Photoshop, adding special effects along the way.
