My professional background in post-production, vfx, and animation provided a strong foundation when I started toy photography in 2015. My first photos included the use of digital screens as backgrounds which I coined “Digirama” at the time. We’ll explore this technique while creating an San Diego Comic Con inspired toy photo.
The Multiple Plane (Multiplane) technique is something I have been eager to dive deeper into since beginning my exploration of visual effects techniques. For action figure photography, it is an extremely simple way to achieve the look of mid-air flight or floatation.
Continuing with a series that explores visual effects techniques for photography, we’ll recreate the iconic Death Star trench run scene from Star Wars: A New Hope using an Infinity Mirror setup. Though the concept is straightforward, there are plenty of challenges to overcome in bringing this shot to life - but this is where the fun begins!
To celebrate the International Day of Human Space Flight, we'll explore a technique known as camera tracking to create a practical, in-camera lightspeed effect. As a long-time fan of Lego and the original Space series, I thought it fitting to feature my 6931 FX Star Patroller with Benny in the cockpit.
