Photographing your figures

Post by Diabolical »

I follow quite a few action figure photographers on Instagram. They get some really impressive shots.
I've been thinking about trying to do simple, dynamic shots for shits and giggles.

My cell phone is actually better than my real camera for close ups and details.

A few test shots I did tonight:

I don't recognize that middle figure, what a great face sculpt she has.

That's Kitty Pryde, yo.

The face sculpt on Kitty Pryde is the main reason I picked her up. It's fantastic.

Wow. The toy is actually better looking than the real Jessica Jones.

I dunno, there's something awkwardly alluring about her knock-kneed chewbacca gait.

I'm not saying she's not good looking, I'm just saying that action figure is better looking than the real Krysten Ritter.

If anyone didn't see it on FB, I started a second Instagram called actionfiguresandrubberchickens, which is exactly what it sounds like.
I finally found a fun use for my mini rubber chicken.

I took a bunch of pics lady night, like this one.
