TIPS: Shooting Lego Sets Interiors: The Creator 3in1

I wanted to go back to basics on some tips on how to shoot interiors of standard sets. First, I will focus on the Creator 3 in 1 series, and for that I chose two recent sets, the 31139 Cozy House and the 31131 Noodle Shop.

There are a few common topics in most interior pictures. First and most important, pick your subject, ideally only one. It can be a minifigure, a build detail, an animal... In this case it was the cook (and not the customers) and the book (and not the reader). The subject must be in focus.

Indoor Lego shots are shoots of very small spaces, so it's important to try to give it depth by moving things around in front of our subject and behind. It does not matter if in real life the room looks weird (in my case I have plants or decorations outside the building). Place them from the camera perspective, not your own eyes.

Use the natural light sources from the build, i.e. windows, doors, lamps, candles, fireplace. They will give you a more natural feeling than using a flat light at the front of the building. Small LEDs can be put into lamps or fireplaces like in the house, big lights or flashes can be shone through the doors and windows, like in the noodle house. A face mister will give the lights a beautiful softness too.

Editing has also a special role. For these rooms there are a few things to look at. My first step is reframing the shot, to delete all the gaps of the build and focus on the room. I also play with the saturation and temperature, since they are night time and indoors, I made them colder and I used a vignette.

Next week I'm picking up a couple of Lego Friends rooms to show more examples.
