Inside The Mind of a Lego Photographer

MS: My favorite shot of my own is my recreation of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "". The original is one of my favorite photos and I spent a lot of time getting it right. It was one of the hardest to set up; the figure kept rotating on the piece of cotton he was suspended from, and a lot of the scenery kept floating away!

GT: Do you purposefully photograph particular themes or emotions?

MS: I always try to convey some emotion in my photographs. If there's an obvious theme, like , then yes, I use that as inspiration.

GT: A lot of the images are of Star Wars and Lego. Is Star Wars a particular geeky favorite?

MS: My childhood consisted of Lego and Star Wars, those are the toys that stimulate my nostalgia centres. I've watched Star Wars more times than I care to admit.
