The Offering - From Future King to Future Meal :O

This cute little Rafiki and Simba figure is a fixed pose toy, meaning it's not an articulated action figure. But without a doubt it beautifully captures the most iconic scene of the movie. But one really has limited use with these fixed pose toys... after one photo they're pretty much spent. Except in this case I woke up in the middle of the night and this odd little concept popped into my head, haha! For comparison I also included my original image of Rafiki and Simba on Pride Rock - an image that's a little truer to the movie. It's amazing how the context change affects the same toy. Which do you prefer?

On A Misson!

I love how the right setting and light can make a 2" plastic toy come to life.  My toy photography is created using practical effects. Flying dirt and debris, smoke, fire, splashing liquids... all real, and all photographed real time in the scene.

Toy Photography // Rey's Speeder

Another day, another quarter portion.

Took advantage of a brush fire colored sunset to create this photo.  The color of the sunset was pretty much what you see here... the only beautiful thing that came out of the fire.
