This is amazing, this should be part of the "a star wars story" series. A story about two stormtroopers and how the journey effects them both physically and emotionally.

These are the most wholesome troopers ever, you rarely get to see this side of the storm troopers.

In the first order they rarely even talked to each other and all conversations were recorded their only goal was to bring back the rule of the galactic empire.

It's rare to see Storm Troopers humanized in any way. Especially the First Order types. I would suggest a few shots with their helmets removed. The heads from Hasbro's MCU Punisher and Civil War Crossbones would work really well.

Wow. This gives me a whole new perspective about stormtroopers!

*2 best buds traveling the galaxy*

"We are not soldiers. We are not friends. We are comrades. We are brothers."

Petition to make an actual story game for two players based on these two stormtroopers and their adventures, like the game ‘A way out’

You should do one with Darth Vader mourning the death of Padme. Like a palace with her tomb.

I like this because a lot of people forget Storm Troopers and First Order Storm Troopers were all just normal people, a lot of them were just desperate enough to join the Empire and/or were indoctrinated, like Han in Solo a Star Wars Story, he only enlisted because it was the only way off the planet

Wow man.... This goes beyond simple toy photography. It's art. Plain and simple. These images are so well done.

The first one is truly wonderful. That tiny gesture tells a whole story of friendship. Amazing.

Great job! The pictures with the CG effect are mind blowing!

This is really cool, We never see a stormtroopers story or what they go through.

They actually look realistic

So good

These are cool. I think it'd be cool if you did clone troopers as well

I love the music. That Danny Elfman is amazing. No just kidding. I love it when that guy in that movie says 'It was long ago during the clone wars an age old beer drinking buddy of mine used to say...'

Alright amazing pictures btw the only thing that kinda annoys me is that you used first order troops in an imperial civil war setting Aside from that i f**king love them

First Order Stormtroopers had the Worst Articulation Out Of the Army builders if you ask me, They couldn’t even hold their Blasters properly So I’m impressed you managed to make them look Good, Nice Work 👍🏻

I really like the way you framed up the picture with actual props and then enhanced it with Photoshop. I doubt "Campfire" would have looked as good without the benefit of actual fire casting shadows.

I wish to tell you I love your work here and felt this deserves so much more than a simple applause. Well done

Just need an idea, some stuff, in my case this figures and a camera. Some photographers take her figures just on place with real environment and special effects. I love to play with photoshop. Different ways to work and different results. Find the right way for you and try a lot. And don't forget the joy! You don't need special equipment or a professional camera. Just try with the stuff you have allready. You don't have flashes? Use a pocket light or the light from your phone. Be creative.
