Toy Photography with Miniature Sets and Dioramas

Ғылым және технология

Professional toy photographer Johnny Wu visits our studio for another awesome photography session! This time, his subject is one of our favorite new figures: Mezco's Popeye, using custom toy clothing and posed in a highly-detailed foam set made for 1:12 scale photography. It's like a miniature movie set!

    I buy a bunch of Figma and a couple other Bring Arts and McFarlane figures. Posing them to look natural is one of my favorite things to do. My current favorite is my Cayde-6 from Destiny (McFarlane) that I just reposed to look like he's got his back against a wall, taking cover around the corner of a box that I'm using to support him. It just adds so much life to the characters. After watching this, I dimmed my room lights and tried taking a couple photos using just what I had on hand for lighting and my cellphone as my camera. I think a new hobbyist has been born.

    hmm.. much of the diorama was not even in the shot, shame. I get that he wants a tighter shot to focus on the subject but the background would've been great too

    I thought he was going to mist spray Popeye's coat to make little beads of rain, and maybe use a longer exposure to get some motion in the falling raindrops. Too much time spent advertising the props and not enough perfecting the shot, in my humble opinion. Love the moody lighting though.

    I like what he does like but like the word like like needs to be used like it should be like not all the like time! Jeez. Can't people say a damn sentence without adding extraneous "likes" every other frickin word. Like.
