Toy photography is like a photo model, it's just that your object or model is now a toy. The toy can be a miniature or action figure that can be moved. For this time we will discuss the action figure first. If it was said that toy photography is a photo model that replaced the toy, meaning you also have to direct the style of the model aka the toy. The combination of your toy pose with a camera post will produce a photo with an interesting scene. You can also use more than one model toy to create dramatic scenes, funny or romantic.

If the scene requires flying photos, you can manipulate the levitation of your toy model with tied threads that will be disguised by the background. If the action figures or toys that you have cannot be moved part of the body, then you can play is a camera angle. You can also combine more than one model of this toy during a scenic scene.

For the location of your model shoot it can be done according to your creativity in the open like on a tree to have a natural wood texture, grass to look like a tall grass, in the flow of water to look like a river and others. Note the golden hours also for the maximum gain obtained.

Another interesting thing you can also try is to make a mini studio using either your photographic equipment like a studio light or simply using a cardboard coated by white or black paper as a wall. Light settings can be used in the room's natural light or manipulate it again by using a flashlight refracted with hvs or thinner paper. For the direction of the arrival of the light you can adjust the pose or scene from your toy model.

For the lens used, because the model becomes a small object and the distance will be short then the kit lens was felt enough. Or you can also use a low vocal fix lens to get maximum bokeh.
