Viking MUA

Probably not historically accurate. Still fun.

Futzing around with this little guy was really inspiring when it came to posing some wyverns in a long drawing last night:

3 for 1! @metarix-studios was my guest today in the livestream and he did a photoshoot in the second hour, resulting in the main photo.

I really love the diffused light-- facial mister, people, get on that-- that creates that nice rim light on the knight with the plumed helmet. I think these details get lost sometimes so a good crop can bring those out and enhance our appreciation.

Kite and I did a storytelling collab last year and I noticed he included a kid again in this photo. I forgot to ask about that though.

Here are some of his photos that opened the story:

And I filled in the middle:

We should work on another story together!

Thanks to @metarix-studios for hanging out and letting me see his whole process and ask questions!

Tomorrow I'll be editing some photos, showing people my basic workflow plus processes every LEGO photographer should know how to do.

A Child's Admiration, a Mother's Concern

Here's the photo I was able to shoot and edit during the live stream with @fourbrickstall! I was able shoot a nice photo using my newest medieval village build I've been working on, that was actually inspired by her Galen's Row Moc!

It was an interesting change having to shoot a photo during the daylight hours, as I am mostly used to taking photos during the evening when I don't have to deal with natural sunlight. But, I've got to say, this photo turned out pretty great so I think I might have to start taking photos during the day time even more now!

During the live edit we noticed that the zoomed in photos of the two separate groups looked great and can stand on their own, so here they are both as two independent photos!

I had a great time talking about Lego photography, my love for custom minifigures, and my photo take process. Be sure to check out her live streams later on in the week as she has more great guests lined up!

Takua battles the snail rahi!

Another Bionicle blockprint! Based on the scene when Takua finds the mask of light hehe. Coloured, plain, gradient and the block itself, because I always like to see that.

Tried posing my guys but they were not cooperating so, snail rahi moc by Mason Cast on flickr x Takua by igu x

Jaws: medieval ages

Sir Aric, knight of Gondor ventured into the ancient quarters of the city, where time seemed to have slowed its pace.

Among the weathered stones and crumbling arches, vibrant flowers bloomed, adorning the old walls with bursts of color and life.

A much deserved drink at the end of a hard day herding goats.

Here's the lighting setup with this new macro lighting kit I'm testing:

Congratulations to @metarix-studios for winning our How It Started Photo Contest!

That progress is amazing! It's obvious how much time Kite spends now on planning, setting up, shooting, and editing his LEGO photos compared to before.

The Van Gogh The Starry Night set will be sent soon! Hope to see cool photos of that!

The Night Rider

In the long dark nights, Farinworth is often visited by a Chilling Fright Knight General. Fortunately there are brave defenders in the city ready to fend him off whenever he threatens the people of the city!

This is my entry to BrickCentrals’s How is Started vs How it’s Going Contest!

How it Started: I started photographing LEGO mostly just to show off the cool minifigs and nice that I owned and built. I mostly stuck with superhero stuff and would often try to recreate scenes from movies and comic books. The backgrounds were usually just a black canvas with some small builds here and there. The lighting was monotone usually relying on a couple of desk lamps and the focus of the shot was usually on the figure I wanted to showcase.

How it’s going now: Instead of relying on recreating scenes from existing media, I take photos to showcase my original story. I use more dramatic lighting and rely heavily on color changing RGB led lights to set a proper tone and atmosphere for a shoot. Lights are set all around (in front of camera, behind builds) to properly balance and light up the scene and highlight some background details. Instead of plain black canvas background I use more elaborate builds to fill up and create an atmosphere that complements the minifigs that I am featuring in the story. I try to utilize practical effects as much as possible using smaller lights and mini water misters, but also continue to use photoshop to create effects that are otherwise impossible practically. Learning to balance the two is something I want to continue to work on.
