One Piece phoTOYgraphy by RichGrohl

richgrohl

So after careful thinking i decided to move my thread here since it's the "ARTs" section which from what it seems is more inclined to visual arts :happy:
(@Mods feel free to put this thread back to the OTHERS section if you feel otherwise )

basically what i'll be posting here are my noobish attempt to toy photography mostly using my own collection of One Piece figures
so kindly bare with me cause i'm not really that good with this kind of art :ninja:
pls take it easy on me with the comments constructive comments would be much appreciated

here is one of my favorite photo so far that i got lucky enough to make

Luffy and Ace
my take on their brotherhood theme

and here is my shot of Chopperman

and also a shot of the very angry Monster CHopper

Aw, thanks XD;
I don't think it indicates the artistic level, though, since some kiddie pictures get published as well It's all about luck~

Nia

You always manage to make those figures (even the already stunning ones) look even BETTER in your photos. It's insane!

richgrohl

UPDATE: added Super DX - ACE

I use a humble combination of D80 + 1.8 prime and a desk lamp

Update:
Additional Photos of Sogeking and Ussop

Aioria

Those are all awesome. My favorites are the last Monster Chopper, Luffy & Ace and Sogeking (the one with the angle from below perspective).
By far the coolest figure is Crocodile. Looks really badass.
Quick question, how tall are these figures?

MissMary

You take amazing shots. Teach please. I love photography and it's my hobby but i've never been taught anything.

Alexander Anderson

Amazing shots my friend! Hope to see more of your phoTOYgraphy! =]
Personal favorites of mine are luffy and ace, croc and chibi zoro.

Anyway ot - by any chance are you Filipino? (referring to your rich navarro watermark?)

Nolus

I really love your photos. Are you professional? Because I think these pics are that good (but I don't really know anything about photographing than how to use a simple camera).
Anyway, your photos are amazing!

Thanks :D
most of them are around 1/8 like Ace, Crocodile, Sogeking, Smoker etc
but the Ace with flag logo is more like 1/6

@MissMary:

I feel your pain, I myself haven't been that lucky to get lessons :sad:
self taught and still learning for about 2 years now.

Thanks! :wub:
as much as i want to be I am not, i only do this as a hobby during my free time, just for fun, photography is my stress reliever :happy:

but funny you would say that because IMO all my shots are not even half as good as most professional photographers :happy:
i try my best tho

@Esspweb:

You bring life to these figures, simply amazing.

Femme

Omygaah. The areas you focus on are so sharp. So sharp! I bet the quality is even better since uploading messes them up a little.

Keep up the good work and keep posting! =D

Sonic Youth

Good pictures for sure! Too bad you have to make a copyright stamp in the middle of them on some of the first ones, makes it break the illusion a little. :(
