Inside The Mind of a Lego Photographer

16.03.2011

GT: What setup, camera, and lens do you use to take the pictures?

MS: I use a for all of my Lego photos, normally paired with a Nikon 105mm macro lens. I normally use multiple off-camera flashes to light most of my indoor shots.

GT: Is there any post-processing that takes place?

MS: There's always a little post-processing. It's difficult to spot the specks of dust when you're photographing things to small, so they normally get removed in Photoshop. I often mess about with the colors a little to suit the mood I'm after. The only time I really have to work some Photoshop magic is removing supports if I've done something "impossible" with a lot of wires. I try not to be too heavy-handed most of the time.

GT: Which is your favorite image?
