Aanchir Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Im planning on posting my huge army of bionicles, but i don't know what i should do to take pictures of them. So waht do you use when you photograph your mocs? (lightbox, phone, camera, blank paper, etc.) A non-patterned bedsheet can be an easy backdrop to rig up if it has no major creases. Preferably it should be a color that contrasts with your MOC; a neutral color if possible. Usually I just improvise a backdrop from my surroundings (not very professional, I know) but this solution has served me well when writing reviews and photographing MOCs. I'm sure some more proficient MOCists can offer you better advice, but I figured I'd give my two cents in case you wanted a "cheap & easy" solution. Quote
turtleman2020 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks I'll probably have my mocs posted sometime this weekend. Quote

I usually use the white lid of my LEGO totes for my photos, or a black suitcase for brighter colored ones. Quote
Chols Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I made a small lightbox a while back. woof It's definitely the best Lego photography environment I've had, though it's not perfect. Because of it's open top, I have to shine the florescent lamp directly at the subject, which is not ideal lighting, even though it still helps visibility a lot. I think I need a way to reflect the light instead. Any ideas on how to go about that? Quote
The Mugbearer Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Enough said. This is my 'studio'. In fact, just a kitchen. Quote
