Toy Photography Lighting Tutorial

[@scruffynerd84]

Also if you don't have alot of money or are just cheap, you can wrap foil around cardboard from boxes to make sun reflector..

[@sirdork730]

Yes! Great tip!

[@michaelfischer3852]

I have learned so much from you about lighting. It's really helped me become better than I was 2-3 years ago when I first started and even a month ago.

[@thescream1868]

man i cant say this enough...I know i have commented it in some of your other videos, but this channel is truly amazing. A goldmine of information for the enthusiast. I am learning a lot from you dude. Thank you.

[@porgstew3657]

Another helpful thing as far as joints go, you can use the adobe photoshop fix that you always say is great, you can just blure the joints so it looks natural and doesnt have pegs

[@Rjstubbs]

Lighting has always been my Achilles heal. Some great tips here. Definitely will be trying to use these 👍

[@sirdork730]

So glad to hear that dude! Hope it helps!

[@Lumecube]

Great tips from the toy photography expert himself! Loving the shirt by the way!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks so much!! I love this shirt! 😁

Thanks for watching guys!! Comment any questions you have below!!

[@curtisreynolds3417]

Awesome video! Thanks been waiting for this one since you had mentioned it during one of the live streams when I asked about lighting. Also completely jealous of the Gunship in the back ground!

[@sirdork730]

So glad you were looking forward to it dude! Thanks for watching 👊 and thanks dude 😂 it is an awesome thing!

[@thomasbambrick1162]

I like to wear tactical pants or military pants when I go hit the trails because I can take some figures and put them in the many pocket options. Always great photo opportunity out on nature trails with your action figures

[@sirdork730]

I absolutely love that!! Great idea with all the pockets! 😆

[@joshbeckman2970]

Great to see another tutorial! Also an excellent photograph of the General. This should get you 7000+ likes!

[@trippyshrimp8598]

This was a great tutorial, I think this stuff is really what separates a good photo from a great one

[@sirdork730]

I agree dude! Thanks so much for watching it!!

[@buzzsawgr81]

I was able to find some cool cheap lights that are really good for indoor shots. I got this 2-pack of color changing disc lights from 5 below for like $5 and a light bar (it needs to actually be plugged in) for $10 from menards that also is able to change color. the disc lights are kinda small and work really well for lighting figures from below, like putting it at their feet (great for horror figures).

[@sirdork730]

Dude that is great news!! So glad you were able to find some good stuff for a good price!

[@machmen1000]

Once of those car front window sun reflectors blew into my yard on a windy day. Made out of the same silvery stuff that light reflector is made out of. A free light reflector cool.

[@sirdork730]

Wow wow I never thought of using one of those! I may have to look into getting one 🤣

[@thewarthog101]

Fantastic video Jared! You explained and demonstrated this stuff really well. 🙂👍

[@nothing_7777]

Love the video! I was planning on buying a lume cube mini but I have a question. Can you change the colors of it just like the pro or does it only stay at one color?

[@sirdork730]

Hey! The panel mini can only change from warm to cold light. Can’t change colors. The panel pro is the only one that can change colors 👍

[@TheGukos]

Do you (or anyone here in the comment section) may recommend a budget version for these lume cubes? They go like 80 € per cube and when you go with the general rule of 3 light sources... It can get expensive very quickly 😅

[@ToyPhotographyArtChannel]

They have some different lights like this at Walmart for 14.99 they are rechargeable and work great.

[@olympicstudios4131]

Thanks for the video bro! It really got me inspired!!

[@squidsona8509]

I started doing toy photography. Im a fan of more stylized lighting. Getting that film noir look (with lego lmao)

[@sirdork730]

Awesome! Love that!

[@ralphb09]

Fantastic video mate! I have a quick question, you said you got the samurai ashigaru stormtrooper for your birthday but do you know the price is should be because if I buy it I want to get the right one!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks dude! Great question! These guys are usually $80+ so if you see one at a price lower than that, it’s a high possibility it’s a knockoff. Make sure to double check where it’s coming from! (Honk Kong usually means knock off). Good luck!
