🤩 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: lucy1021lego Hello everyone! It's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members, and today we will get to know better lucy1021lego!

"Hello everyone, I'm Lucy, and I live in Japan.

My journey into LEGO photography began when I gifted my sons a LEGO set for their birthday. Inspired by their imaginative creations, I started using my smartphone camera to instantly capture those special moments.

Even now, I rely solely on my smartphone camera for my LEGO photography. It's convenient and always at hand. Most of the time, I shoot in natural sunlight, though I occasionally have to wait for clear weather. My behind-the-scenes setup is fairly simple.

To soften the harsh sunlight, I use a tissue to cover the models. In the absence of a reflector, I've discovered that aluminum foil, typically used for cooking, can work just as well. And when I need to stabilize the minifigures' feet, I use a kneaded eraser. I do all this right in my living room and kitchen. It's easy and accessible.

My favorite style of photography is capturing scenes from everyday life because I want viewers to believe that these minifigures actually have a place to call home. For example, imagine spending the whole day immersed in a good book. If that's my plan, I naturally want to recreate the experience with bricks. I find it fun and rewarding.

In all my pictures, I use the same minifigure with freckles. I discovered her three years ago when I bought my first Paradisa set. I was immediately drawn to her adorable appearance. This happened around the time when the coronavirus was spreading and I was feeling down. However, her smile had a powerful impact and lifted my spirits.

Every now and then, I'll have a spontaneous idea, like incorporating a sewing machine into my scene. The next morning, I start building a sewing machine to bring that idea to life. While my mocs are often inspired by my daily activities, the true joy lies in the creative process itself. LEGO bricks allows me to explore endless possibilities and embrace the unexpected.

That's a glimpse into my world of LEGO photography. It's amazing how a simple gift for my children has sparked this passion. Through my smartphone lens, I capture the magic and bring it to life in unique and surprising ways."
