Toy Photography

Over the last year I've been getting more in to toy photography, which has become a fairly popular sub-genre. I havent been able to do as much as I want because its very time intensive in terms of dioramas, occasional photoshop, etc. I did manage to do my most recent 3 last week (Mummy, Elvira/mummy, and Rock Vader). It presents a little more of a challenge working on a smaller scale and sometimes with shiny textures (that should be matte in real life).

Either way, Its a fun little way to pass some time, and make use of my vast collection of figures.

Nice! I love toy photography. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Cobra

Not mine of course, but those LEGO Star Wars photos are super awesome.

Notwithstanding my dislike of that film, it's a cool photo. How'd you get that background shot?

Thank you, I found a stock photo of a Birds Eye view of the street. Took some Birds Eye shots of some civilian figures “walking” and composited everything (but my photoshop skills need a lot of work).

That's a great solution. The way the photo looked, I assumed that you printed it out and physically placed it behind the figures.

Appreciate it. If I had a large enough printer to do it. I would have. Sometimes I use my TV as a “video wall” and create effects that way. Which is nice because it keep everything “in camera”. The less photoshop work the better in my opinion.

That Mezco's signature Rumble Society Character, Gomez. There are a million versions of him, and I dont typically care for most, but this Union version is just super awesome.
