Toy Photography // Hot Wheels Star Wars

Hot Wheels & Other Cool Rides

Here's an assortment of amazing Hot Wheels cars, Star Wars vehicles and other toys.  All were created using practical effects, meaning everything was photographed in the scene in real time, with minimal digital effects added for laser blasts and rocket thrust.

I create amazing Toy Story imagery using real toys.  Images are created using practical effects. Flying objects, cracked eggs, smoke, fire, splashing liquids... all real, and all photographed real time in the scene.

California Toy Photographer // Lego Minifigures

LEGO Minifigure Photography

These three images are my first foray into LEGO photography.  The top image, titled Emergence, is featured in the gorgeous LEGO photography magazine, Bricks Culture.  

LEGO Minifigures are just that... mini figures.  They measure roughly 1.50" tall and have minimal articulation. Given this, they still allow amazing stories to be told and photograph beautifully.

Toy Photography // Ant-Man Series

Ant-Man Toy Photography

This is a series of fun Ant-Man images created over the past couple of months.  These are very small, fixed-pose figures.  The challenge with fixed-pose figures, regardless of size, is coming up with more than one or two stories with them.  I consider myself a storyteller first, and photographer second.  This definitely helps when working with these types of figures.

Luckless Stormtroopers are often the equivalent of the Red Shirts in the original Star Trek series...nameless and never catching a break, almost always ending up dead haha!
