How to Make Your LEGO Come to Life!

In today's new video I'm again trying something new: LEGO Photography. On Instagram I see countless of these photo (manipulations) of LEGO figures in different environments, and I had become quite anxious to try this out for myself! For this experiment I decided to buy LEGO Rivendell to use as my primary set, but ended up being much happier with the minifig-only images. Using artificial snow I tried making a bed of snow for the figures to walk on, and those turned out great in my opinion. If you liked this video, let me know in the comments below!

​@BennyProductions HI Benny keep the good work you inspired me to be an editor I started when I was 8 and can you make edit race video and can I do an edit race with you please respond ❤❤

[@oh-totoro]

I key to photography like this, when you have the camera in a static position on a tripod, is to take many different exposures that you can blend together later in Photoshop. For example, the red light being cast onto the figures/environment, can be done in camera with a small red light, then you can blend that exposure later with neutral exposures. It will give a more authentic feel.

[@bujedo.j2091]

Great. Do you know how I can do it? I guess it's not simple, but is there any specific tool, option or feature to check out in Photoshop?

[@jarlfenrir]

@@bujedo.j2091 just put all photos on separate layers and use masks to show fragments of each photo you need.

[@s1amvwbug]

Mr. Benny, I’m absolutely blown away by your Lego photoshoot and the incredible Photoshop magic you’ve applied! It reminds me of the days when Lego used to create stunning artwork for their boxes and instruction books, even including mini posters in special editions. Lately, it feels like Lego’s creative spark in their artwork has dimmed a bit. I really hope someone from Lego sees your fantastic video and gets in touch with you. Your talent could truly revitalize the art on their boxes and instructions. Amazing work, Mr. Benny! Bravo! 🌟🎨 #LegoArt #PhotoshopMagic

[@7omlee]

Love this, as I do all your videos! When shooting photos on a tripod, you’d benefit from slowing the shutter speed. If everything is stationary, everything will be just as sharp. It will allow you to lower the ISO and decrease the noise in the initial shot, which looks cleaner than a de-noised version of a grainy image.

[@JonasPetri]

Exactly!!!

[@robertainesbragasangalli367]

Benny your content is always in another level, thanks for the inspiration

[@kirinc-s.7156]

This was one of my favorite vids on the channel, I love the photography aspect and the extended creativity you can have with it!

[@HakunaHisTatas]

Hey Benny! You have been THE BIGGEST Inspiration to me since I’ve found you Years Ago when you were just a small channel! Because of you, I have mastered photoshop and now am a padawan VFX artist in Blender! Just truly thank you for the bottom of my heart and NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS EVERRR🙌🙌🙌

[@rawchocolatier]

As a graphic designer (been doing it for ever) and a Lego fan, I absolutely love your work. ❤ Could you please try to make pictures where everything is made of Lego (even if you just create the background so it looks like Lego, it would be amazing). 😍🎶❤️

[@tocov]

On of your best videos in recent times, Benny! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really enjoy it when you explain how you reach the effect you want.

[@PhantoomWriter]

Insane timing, I'm just beginning to rewatch the LoTR series. Nice

[@celticbabs3105]

Really enjoyed your photography process in this video, Benny. Would love to see more of it.

[@tsizzleowned]

Love your style and techniques you use! Thank you for the inspiration Benny.

[@micahnike18]

I'm gonna take some LEGO photos then edit them in photoshop brb Seriously Benny, you've inspired me to learn photoshop and the fact that you love LEGO makes me enjoy these videos even more!

[@r3toys]

I love seeing you shine some light on Toy and Action Figure photography; it's a great niche and has tons of great artists! Awesome video, I really like the exposure layer to blend the depth of field cutouts, that's an awesome tip.

[@nook2726]

This is AmAZING. This has to be one of my favorite videos you have made! I feel so inspired by seeing such cool and amazing end results! I hope your doing well and that your NOT burning yourself out.

[@Max-Roos]

That last one is INSANE! 🔥😮

[@Eyesmasher01]

I love Lego myself and I have to say. This was extremely fun to watch. My favourite Lego model I would have to go with is either the Venator Class Cruiser or one of the AT-TE sets from the Clone Wars or the new Avengers Tower that was recently released.

[@SebbyClemens]

Love this newer style of video bro! Seeing a bit more photography and the legos was a cool idea. Keep it up man💪🏼

Loved the concept of this video! I've been wanting to do some of this myself so it definitely gave me some inspiration for my own

[@stabokbose]

In 2021 i bought my first PC at the age of 17 and tried to learn Photoshop, at first I watched Piximperfect (I still watch) to learn basics and sone advanced stuffs, then I found your channel and I cant say how much you inspired me in creative way and in daily life also. Thanks a lot sir. I respect you a lot. Love from India.

Benny I think you should take some of your fav or most hated artwork of 2023 and make a compilation art piece. Would be cool to see how you would reimagine those pieces together in a new environment could be outta this world

I enjoyed this video so much I would love to see more videos like this. You are very good at making these photos ❤

[@XxHeManWomenHaterxX]

Hey Benny! Some camera tips: generally a better photo will be at “eye-level” of the minifigs. It gives a more immersive feeling rather than high angle like the first picture. It’s probably why you liked the last picture best, plus Darth Vader is just awesome. Great job!

[@DBZnetwork]

Hey Benny you should look into focus stacking photo techniques. That way you can get all those Lego characters in focus 👍🏽
