I hope a bunch of random people see this and then get into toy photography themselves. Just like I did almost 3 and half years ago.
I love that!! That’s what I’m hoping for as well 🙇♂️
Haha I’m a random person who is watching this video. I tried it in my front yard, fun and relaxing. My front yard looks like a desert with mild vegetation and I made a trench with bark. I got some basic photos to start with but I know I’ll do it again soon
I’m so glad you mAde this video. I’ve been trying to get into toy photography and I’ve been gathering equipment but I never feel that my pictures are worth posting or good enough. I guess it’s all about just doing what you want and doing the best you can with what you have. Thank you for the inspiration to at least start believing in myself. BTW I’m old enough to be your father so that also plays a part in me not feeling like I should be doing this let alone playing with toys which I have a lot of lol.
Doesn’t matter how old we are, toy photography is for us! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🙏 I hope you post your photos soon, I’d love to see them! And I’m sure they are awesome! Thanks for watching!!
100% agree with what you say about the toy photography community. So special and wholesome and helpful!
And toy photography is for everyone, and anyone can do it!!
Also - as someone who also lives in an apartment complex, do you ever get any anxiety shooting where people can see lol? How do I get over the fact that people might be watching??
I’m so glad you agree! Such an amazing group of people ☺️
I actually filmed this video about a year ago, but when I lived in the apartment complex, I was super nervous for a long time to shoot in front of everyone. Eventually I learned to move it! People usually are genuinely curious and interested in what you’re doing! It’s a great opportunity to show them and introduce them to toy photography! I always keep business cards on me to give out if someone asks 😂
@@sirdork730 that’s true. I tried toy photography for the first time and a neighbor thought I was taking pictures of dead animals 😂
This was really helpful! A very comprehensive guide! 🔥 Love it
Hey thanks so much dude! So glad you think so!
I must say, I whole heartedly agree.
I have been into photography for years now. I even played around with toy photography before it was a thing. I was inspired by your videos to do more with my photography. I love that you have helped make it "a thing"!😆 Keep inspiring others like myself! Great video as always. Thank you!
Wow that is amazing to hear! I’m so glad you’ve gotten into it, and that I couldn’t have helped 🙇♂️ thanks for all your support!
I saw this video and made me want to try and today was my first time its harder then it looks but i enjoy it thank you for inspiring me
Wow that is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing 🙇♂️ it’s definitely something that takes practice, but it’s totally worth it! Good luck! 😁
I loved the part about personal growth from early photos and going forward. This is a great video! Thank you for sharing all of this.
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
The video is very inspiring, congratulations you have done a fantastic job with an incredible result!!! 🤖👏😁📸
Awesome video ❤thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Thanks so much for watching!
Outstanding bro, and you inspire us all
Thanks my man!!
An excellent video with lots of encouragement and enthusiasm. Thank you!
I actually had to give a presentation to my classmates about my toy photography need less to say your video was way better than school presentation
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing the artform with your class! 🙇♂️ thanks thanks for watching!!
You inspired me all the time
awsome job thankss for the info been trying this on my shorts
Awesome! Good luck 🙇♂️🙇♂️
Great Shots, that was great for toy photographers like me who are just starting out really, but thanks to your tutorials I’ve come a long way since about this time last year when I started out!
Wow I’m so glad to hear that, thank you so much for watching!!!
When ppl ask me how and why I got into toy photography. I always tell them it's cause I seen a picture of an AEW figure I had and said I can do that. Then found Jared's page and been hooked every since. And here I am a full year later making some amazing ass photos. And actually growing a following. And it's mostly if not entirely thanks to Jared!
Wow man that is so incredible! Thanks for all your support! You’ve come a long way in that year 🙏
Thanks, this is really helpfull🤓🤘
Thank YOU for watching!!!
Great video❤❤
Thanks Linda!!!
GIVE THIS GUY SOME LOVE!!!!!!!! COME ON GUYS
why not instead use the clone tool, after everything was shot, take another shot where the photo has no figures, that way i just put the opacity to 50% then erase where the figure will show and keep the wire behind the layer, that sometimes makes the work easier for me. than having quite a challenge on using clone stamp. but sir i been watching you tutorial for awhile now and it give me more insights in this hobby, thank you.
Your awesome, Thank you
Thanks for watching 🙇♂️🙇♂️
I have a question can you do a horror scene we’re all the horror characters like Michael Myers, Jason, Voorhees Leatherface are all interacting with each other and having fun
Just starting out with this I've got a long way to go to get anywhere near the quality you produce. Hoping I can get better in a year or two. Keep up the great work, always look forward to new content.
Wow that is awesome to hear! Just keep shooting and doing new things, you’ll learn and improve every time!
oh jeeze, man. You got me.
Had to bail early on the premiere. Just finished the video. Great tips as always man!
Thanks as always stubbs!
Nice
Thanks! 🙏
They thanks for the vid
Great video bro! 🤝👏👏
Greetings from a Toy photographer 🤓
Thanks so much for watching the video dude!
Good tutorial. I started on 28th Feb 2024. Aka today
Congrats on getting started!! Good luck on your toy photography endeavors!!
@@sirdork730 thanks a lot I'm trying a lot I only have a phone
How do you keep your figures maintained during all the shooting? I’m sure they get dirty, how do you keep them from being ruined, especially the expensive ones?
I'm ok with the hardware side and imaginative side of things but haven't got to grips with Photoshop. It's too easy to just tweak and crop on Lightroom. I'll get there. . . Thank you.
What is some of the toy photography communities that are quality to join?
I definitely recommend instagram! It’s not like a gated community that you need to join or anything 😆 just start posting your toy photos on Instagram and start interacting with the some other toy photographers!!
Great video and fantastic picture.
Now I'm curious how you might tackle Funko Pops, since most of them have a static/predifined pose. If you could shed some light on how you'd take them on, that would be great.
Hey thanks so much! I’ve actually done some work with Funko Pips before, and I actually really love to shoot them! Not having to pose them actually cuts out a huge step of the process, which makes things easier 😂 I did a video on it here actually!
I shot Star Wars Funko Pops for Disney!

@@sirdork730 I live in the UK I did get some once but no idea where from.
? But first, Love this idea. I’ve been paralyzed from a department injury last few years and got bk into collecting figures. Am always just taking the figures I get and just taking pics of em off my shelf but seeing this makes me see I can do so much better all cause of those before and after shots. Don’t go nuts taking pictures of stuff but when do I def like it to look amazing if can, even of my five children or cats and dog. All got is a iPad Pro 2021 11 inch rt now, but for that ?.
What editing app for apple iphone/iPad would u recommend me getting that is not a monthly subscription preferred but also isn’t to much $ to buy off their store for someone to get that offers the type of editing u do here. Like how u can blend in things and take out and put in pictures easy like u did on ur pc. I have Tried many apps in past few years ago, a lot of free and even bought some bk then but all they ever do is change the color, saturation, fine etc. almost same that apple ipad gives people for free on their normal set up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Watched your some videos in past but seeing your before and after pics from how I started and ur pics look like how mine do now just basic pose in a house etc to the awesomeness dynamic pics u do now. Yeah. I got nothing but time to try and learn something new at age 50 laid up in a bed most times nowadays. Shame only live 10 miles from beach I used to surf at but never make it out there anymore cause issue moving there and getting help. But maybe this hobbie if get into it may get me little re motivated to get bk out there. Sorry long comment
Hey there, sorry to hear about your injury! I’m glad you’re doing a great hobby though with the time you have! 🙏 I’m actually posting a video tomorrow about an awesome free editing app called GIMP. Definitely make sure to watch that one! It’s a great app!
A great editing app on your phone is one called snapseed. Definitely recommend!
Thanks for all your support! Good luck on your toy photography journey!
I’m not on IG at the moment, but still taking photos. What’s the best platform to send my Funko Pop picture?
Glad I found your content, Jared!
Hey thanks so much for the support! 🙏 I use Instagram to display the submissions during the streams, so I can only take shots posted on Instagram right now. Sorry man! 🙇♂️
@@sirdork730 no problem! I’m re-vamping my page. I’ll tag you if I get back on before submission ends 🤘
