Toy photographers face a lot of choices each time they set out to create an image. Which camera? Lens? Aperture? ISO? Shutter speed? What story am I trying to tell? Where do I want to set the scene? And the whammy of them all: which toy(s) would best serve my purpose and intention? With SO many toys to choose from–LEGO, Playmobil, Funko, action figures that run into the hundreds, and so many more, where’s a newbie to start? Especially a newbie without any toys? Spoiler alert: if you’re just starting out and have few or no toys, that will quickly change…very quickly!!
In this episode of the Toy Photographers Podcast, your hosts, Terri (@greenehenphotography) and Ariel (@those_wonderful_toys), discuss the many choices facing newbie toy photographers when it comes to toys. For Ariel, toys came before photography; Terri, on the other hand, didn’t own a single toy before embarking on a daily photo project in January 2021. Together, they’ll chat about the choices they make for their own photography and some of their favorite toys to photograph.
Listen in as they discuss:
