Understanding The Art of Lighting in Toy Photography

Enhance the concept and composition of your LEGO photos with deliberate lighting.
Watch how I place lights, flags, and fill cards to achieve the look I want in my series of photos of a LEGO baker in a brick-built house.
Lighting is part of a photo's visual design and mood, so you should think about light placement and shaping to serve your concept.

Thanks! Yes, happy to be sharing videos again. I have a couple of formats I want to try out too.

[@motioncraftanimation]

Your photos are amazing! Have you ever tried doing stop motion animation?

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks! I haven't tried... yet! It's always been on the table but I never get around to just doing it.

[@motioncraftanimation]

@@FourBricksTall If you do, I would be glad to answer any questions you have. If you have the money and want to do stop motion there is a program called Dragonframe that costs $300 to own forever.

What 'mist/fogger' do you use?, I couldn't make out what it was in the video.
