Nice shots! Did you use a prop for the moon? It works really well.
A.I.M. never stood a chance let's be real Awesome shot. Also, this fits with your avatar oddly enough, but the figure I was talking about yesterday is this guy. I wasn't really prepared to adore him this much but once I took him out of the package all those good memories of watching Den-O came right back, and Momotaros was one of my favorites. Man, I hope we get a Deneb that is as good as this one. |

Man, I hope we get a Deneb that is as good as this one. And yes, that Momotaros is great! I loved Den-O, Momotaros especially (Hence the avatar lol), so a Shinkocchou Seihou Momotaros was something I'd been hoping for. And he lived up to the hype, he's a really great figure. I'm hoping for Deneb next too, now that Zeronos has been announced, they'd look so good together. Hopefully they'll do all the Imagin at some point.

Thats whats great about the seihou line. The engineering on the joints to make them as unobtrusive as possible and integrating them into the sculpt is like magic. Really makes these bug men feel life-like in your hands. Can't wait for Black, that one is mwah! (Chef's kiss). Just wondering how that rubber will hold up over time. Also, i wanted to ask, Shyguy, what did you use for the background in the Metsubojinrai vs A.I.M pic. I've seen you use it in a couple of pics and it looks soo good along with your immaculate lighting and posing. I just have to know lol. And Deathryuger, your practical effects skills are killer, always look forward to seeing your work.

And thank you for the kind words about the lighting! That's something I've worked hard on improving at over the years, with a lot of experimentation and practice. I use Lume Cubes for the main lighting, which I think are perfect for toy photography, I love them. For colored lighting I just use some relatively cheap little color-changing lights intended for closet lighting that I found at a hardware store, but they work great for this.

The fantastic pictures you guys post here inspired me to try my hand at toy photography. I actually posted them on my blog which is my homepage and can be accessed by clciking my name. I know the lighting is harsh and the pictures not as sharp, but i just want to know if theyre a good start. Since your so adept at toy photography, it would mean a lot to me if you took a look and told me what you think. Also, for lumecubes which is the better light to get, the portable one or the standard?

For the Lume Cubes I personally have two of the Lume Cube 2.0 and their accessories. They're nice and I like them a lot, but some other photographers use different set ups. A lot of photographers use light boxes, I've never used one myself so I can't help much with those, but I know they're pretty common with toy photography. But honestly you don't need anything fancy, the more you experiment with what you have and figure out your own style, the easier it'll be to eventually figure out what setup will be right for you.

Your shots are definitely a good start, keep it up! The best way to improve is of course to just keep practicing, and checking out the work of other photographers to see how they do angles, posing, composition, etc. There are a lot of them out there on Instagram and Twitter, for example.
