As a kid I loved collecting Star Wars toys, and my favorite toys to collect were always the miniature vehicles and ships. Though I ended up breaking or losing most of these toys before I was old enough to realize I wanted to keep them, I still have a couple that survived, and I’m always on the lookout at thrift stores and antique malls to find a few more.
Last year I made two videos about creative photography with these Star Wars models, using macro photography methods as well as some lighting and compositing tricks and common household items. Check them out below!
Here are some of my favorite images I created in these two videos:
Star Wars will always be a part of me, as both a former kid and a current filmmaker and photographer, and creating these images has been a fun way to express my fandom!
