I’ve received this video from tookapic, and I think is really awesome as easily explained.
If you follow my Instagram profile, you probably know that I have a lot of fun taking pictures using toys, as Lego, or others figurines. I usually do it outdoor, I like to place my toys in the real world, as they were really living among us. However, sometimes , when it’s too rainy or really really cold, or because I’m too lazy to go out, I install a mini studio on my desk and take some photos trying to set nice scenarios. As Lego are really small, a simple coloured A4 sheet is enough to create my background, is cheap and I can have all the colours I need, but this video is really more fun! It shows you how to create a great photo studio with a Pizza box and other cheap accessories. So, enjoy and welcome to the toys photography world !
If you love this kind of photography, you can also take a look at Mike Stimpson website, he takes amazing Lego photos and on his Flickr setup account, where he explain how he took them 🙂 be inspired!
Note: If you like toys photography, maybe you’ll also like the personalised mugs with my photographs!
PS. You can also use the same technique with other toys than Lego minifigures.
