So today I attempted to take some lego pictures.. If you swing over to my project, you'll see a shot.
I was curious to hear what everyones opinion about lego pictures are. Do you buy sets and photograph them? Or do you create your own thing? How about action? How do you get your photographs to seem like the legos are people with movement, instead of just still life objects?
I bought a large castle set and took pictures of me building it. It took like 50 times longer but the result was kind of funny to see the lego's self build themselves.
@clgphotography Some of the shots my kids placed the blocks on and some of them they took turns with the remote (hence why my hands are caught a few times)
Children add a level of difficulty to all projects but they always add a whole different level of fun!
This is my first ever lego pic. Word of the day was "play". Unfortunately I wasn't trying to get any action into it...just learning to shoot in low light :)
I love lego shots too. I haven't bought any specifically for a photo but when ordering my sons Christmas presents I did start imagining all of the fun scenarios I could put them in.
Here are a few of my lego shots
I also used mini toy story figures for about a week last January.
So far I have only one Lego minifigure (and actually he is about 2x size of minifigure). But I've realized that only with one figure you can do so much.
I have really enjoyed this article. What a good idea to have some wee figurines to improve your shots. Easier than trying to use the cat. thankyou all.:)
Not strictly lego but I have lots of figures called Kubricks. Like lego but a little bit bigger and more detail. Actually did a story set with some of my stormtroopers a while back. Here are some of my favorites.
My mom has a box of all the left over bits of lego from when my siblings and I were kids... we don't really have any complete sets... I just make my own things... here are the lego shots I've one so far!
I quite like using them to tell a story

Love your Lego snow shot. It works really well.

"I told you we shouldn't have come out walking with the snow as deep as this!"
Here are a few I've taken in the last month
