Best TEN Picks | July 2019

There are so many dynamics in putting together a composition that may or may not impress a lot of people in regard to Toy Photography. But the most important part in executing a masterpiece is about having fun and no care for the attention, but what’s in your imagination that certainly counts why these BEST TEN PICKS were chosen!

Now there are so many entries that were posted for the month of July 2019 and they are very much creative, inspiring, and, emotionally packed. The challenge of composing Toy Photography is how you can bring emotion, fun, and visual stunning narrative out of ONE PHOTO.

There are others that need three or six photos to tell a story, but in this community all you need is just ONE. It’s either you impress them with that idea or just drop out of the face of the Earth. The ever changing perspective in a photo sharing social media these days is not about what you have it’s what you can share.

Slowly but surely the definition about Toy Photography has been telling a story in a picture context narrative. It’s not about what the latest toy or action figure you have, but it is how you use one as part of that big picture. They are like real life models but instead they give you a challenge to #BringingToysToLife and that most collectors and storytellers grapple to find that balance putting that composition piece together.

At the same time you should find the “fun” in giving your composition to life regardless if anyone is impressed or not. The importance is you’re having a good time and healthy getaway from the anxiety from having difficult Mental Health.

With that said these #BESTTENPICKS make the cut for July 2019. Some may not be fancy for your choice, but you have the freedom to give a productive comment what the Toy Photographer needs to improve. Because this is a community that thrives to hear your voice and thoughts about sharing to improve everyone’s craft not to pull them down as this is a place to grow together.



James Eagles is new to the community but he immediately shared one of his firsts composition namely a silhouette image of Rey trying to accept that she is more than just some junker from desert planet and it gives that emotional vibe.



Rohaidi LoCase has been featured several times that gives you the reason to be inspired that he has found his niche in telling a good story with Spider-Man swinging in the air heading to Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands.



Alexander Gabriel another relatively new to the community sure knows where Syndrome exists and that is in the scene where he started wreaking havoc in the city from the original Incredibles animated feature film.



Matthew Musson has so many impressive compositions that he really up the ante on every post he shared with the community. This guy never stops and keeps getting better about close ups and action scenes that makes this photo get into the list.



Adam Maślanka claimed he used to work with professional models and this is his first foray in Toy Photography. Certainly the shot speaks volumes of experience dealing with real people which results in making ordinary toys looks so real it definitely catches your attention and he has lots of these posted in the group, Impressive.



James Giordano has some interesting toy subjects that are not mainstream popular. But they are timey wimey impressive that they stand out in the midst of the usual Science Fiction or Superhero action figures. James truly captures the aesthetics and the visuals of old school sci-fi adventures!



Dario Orlando just lurks behind the scenes but when he shares his works there are colors that catches your eye and they are vibrant at the same time tells a story of a Desert Stormtrooper lost in the woods. Then leaves you thinking what the next story will pick up next from someone else’s imagination.



Sam Chan has been part of this community for a long time and like anyone who continue to harness their skills on Toy Photography is not afraid to take risks in telling their own stories. Sam surely takes this Kamen Rider character into action that you thought it was from a scene of the show hence the blurry shot was intentional!



Kelly Gareau must be new to the idea of Toy Photography, but the perspective on this composition was on point to give you an idea where it was taken. The challenge there is surviving the searing sun in the middle of nowhere and the subject used does give you that idea that made it to this list.



Luis E. Castillo like Matthew Musson has been churning some impressive images and they’re captured an idea for others to give their interpretation of their story. Last month was also the 50th anniversary of the first landing of the Moon with Apollo 11; hence the tribute rounds up the roster for this month.

For those who never made it and continue to post their works don’t feel glum. You just keep sharing your narratives through your Toy Photos they are great that inspire others to share theirs. The importance in doing this as an exercise is about having “fun” about telling a story not about the toy themselves as they are just part of that story you are putting together in one image.

It is great opportunity to give your mind that workout to find a good perspective that keeps you going for your Mental Health as this is one of the reasons why we keep everyone’s toes and inspire to taking risks in telling your brand of Toy Photography.
