The Magic of Toy Photography With Shelly Corbett

Toys can be so much more than a child’s diversion. They are multi faceted muses; they're a link to our childhood, an opportunity to recreate a favorite movie and they can star in stories or our own making. Put a toy in front of a Lensbaby lens and it can transport you to a magical world of your own creation.
Shelly is a 30+ year working artist, photographer and creativity evangelist. Shelly has shown work in galleries, coffee shops, community centers and outdoor arts and craft festivals. Shelly is currently a LensBaby Ambassador and a LEGO Ambassador for four years. I also write about creativity and share her creative journey on a volunteer run blog she founded: Toy Photographers.

"We do have story to tells they just might not be the the ones people are thinking we are telling." I had to watch to entire video just for this bit of advice in which I am grateful I heard. I recently got into toy photography to help show more of a world unseen The zen of photography and the lessons revolving, will aways keep me shooting. Thank you for this share.
