| For the Toy Photographer on-the-go that uses the outdoors as organic as possible some carry with them small figurines or multi-articulated figures in their bag. But there are also minimalist who just doing it ‘for the heck of it’ to pack something small like die-cast cars.
Die-Cast cars have been around long enough to be one its favorite subjects being used in Toy Photography. It’s either indoors with all the sets and diorama or the organic natural way in the use of the great outdoors. |
But mostly it’s all up to your which venue you use that you’re most comfortable. The indoors are great provide that you have the necessary practical sets and backdrop to use to produce the very best composition for your photos. An indoor diorama if executed organically like outdoors could convince some that it was done in a realistic setting which some have mostly done it.
Most of these photos that use die-cast cars have focused on the subject at hand, but not entirely part of a photo narrative. It is a challenge making the subject balance out to be part of the background at the same time trying to conjure up an emotional perspective in Bringing Toys to Life™ at the same time produces it in a #1ShotStory that makes people think about the composition being produced.
Though some of the samples in this article may look pretty much as they say boring and lack of imagination may be you should look beyond the aesthetics of the subject but rather go beyond and think of a story that will married the subject, background, and what its trying to tell in one image that makes others think rather than look at it for all the focus on the subject itself.
The idea is go beyond what “Toy Photography” is for everyone and come up with an impressive composition using die-cast cars as part of the element or layer that you’re trying to produce that tells a story that makes everyone pay attention. Going beyond the ‘common collector mentality’ and stepping up the concept with a photography using die-cast cars as part of your subject.
Of course it is given that when you use die-cast cars you have to think in that scale perspective as a ‘real car’ not just a 1:64 scale vehicle or for any scale that you can use and meld it with your imagination. There must be something out there worth sharing using die-cast cars as subjects you just need to focus on that narrative what you’re trying to convey that you feel is organically first satisfy your idea than other people’s perspective. It has to first, entertain you and find it interesting not to care for the outside perspective of others at the same time find your story beats.
It can be challenging for some, but personally having used die-cast cars as part of the composition and just try to shoot it as the way it is outdoors was a learning experience. Trying to make it believable with very minor photo editing to none as much possible it’s organically works for either indoors or outdoors it’s all up to you.
Overall it also helps that you don’t need to carry larger toys if you happen to pass by the beach or the parking lot to see something out there a good background that works. You just have to convince yourself first and then others that the place you took the photo with your die-cast car is an actual place or just some random parking lot.
