It’s been a while since I got out and did a Photo-shoot. In order to “scratch the itch”, so to speak, I got my niece’s creepy, baby doll and decided to prop it up on my home studio and set up some candles in the background.
I was inspired after watching Toy Story 3 (sue me… I just got a copy!) and of course, the coming Halloween season.
More photos after the break! Enjoy!
The photo entitled “Vengeance!” (above) by Jopz Madarang bested hundreds of others in my first-ever Toy Photography Contest. It was a close match between Vengeance and Teddy With No Owner by Nic Lags. The Ghost Rider featured entry garnered 634 “likes” versus 572 by Teddy With No Owner by the final deadline.
I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jopz (and his team) and to the hundreds of amateur and pro toy photographers who submitted their entries. The success of this event would not have been possible without you and your support.
First of all, I’m no Pro. I simply love toys and photography. Those two hobbies give me much satisfaction and eases out the stress after a week’s uber-work at the meatgrinder (read: office).
So, allow me to share with you what I’ve gathered from self-taught, web research and trial and error. Also, I haven’t seen any great article(s) on this topic on the web so I’m making one to help those in search for it.
I’m not saying that this is THE way to go. But if you want to take photos of your toys to the next level, you CAN do it without expensive cameras, gear and equipment. All it takes are some simple, effective gear and simple skills…
And of course, PRACTICE.
Hi there!
I’m giving away the toy above as the Grand Prize to my first ever GMTRISTAN.COM Toy Photography Contest. If this becomes a success, I might be doing this regularly.
Without further ado, the full mechanics after you click below… Sali na!
