As the name implies toy photography is a cross between toy collecting and photography. Toy Photographers can either use toys as the subject of their compositions or seamlessly integrate them in the background of their composition. Photographs can be taken outdoors or in dioramas created at home. Photos can be heavily altered by Photoshop, or any similar programs, to add special effects and/or background changes.

If you do enjoy doing toy photography with your camera or mobile phone share your works here. Remember to add the appropriate watermarks in your photos to avoid theft.

like the last 1, and i wanna post mine too

Aaaww this was moved from the hobbies section to the photography section. Oh well...

I won't be posting my old works anymore. You can just check them in my DA account and Tumblr (links in my sig).

New ones today:

Transformers Bot Shots Optimus Prime









Bucky

can you guys recommend me the proper set up for toy photography? should most shots be outdoor or indoors? what is your lighting set up? what lenses do you guys commonly use to shoot toys?

Uhmmm, just use the macro settings (the flower symbol) when taking pics. Be sure to have ample lighting. I'm not an expert on photography yet hahaha so maybe other members can help.

BTW, Nice photo teetaatee!

Some shots I took of my Lego sets


Son and father


Using Nikon D40, manual mode. I adjust the exposure so that the image is quite bright and cannot see the studio line. Have to use a tripod for these kind of shots.

My first contribution

We really should get members to see the "Showcase" section more often. I do get that feeling that we're the underdogs/prodigy here

the picture that is in the dark background, the background is a bit dirty or intended to be so?

teetaateee:Wow! So are you a Spawn/Mcfarlane collector?

Some of my old works:

Revoltech Saber







Pocco (Kaiyodo Revoltech Fraulein Series No. 004)











Ragnarok Online Crusader by Sonokong

Were you referring to my post or the one above my previous post?
Anyways, if you refer to mine, it's meant to be messed up colors.

Many nice pictures here. Do you guys use tripods? I personally use tripods and set to 10secs delay to avoid any shakes.

Some photos to show support to this thread

I don't usually use tripod but i set my camera on topb of books then set a 10 sec delay also hahaha (yeah i really need to buy one). BTW guys, tell your friends to also check out this thread and share their photos as well.
