Using Lego

Before I got myself some slightly more professional gear all of my photographs were devoid of people, I wasn't all that interested in portraiture or fashion photography at the time and most of my photographs were little concepts and ideas that were portrayed using inanimate objects, and a lot of my best photos were made using Lego. Here are a few of my personal favourites. 


These ones were taken using a cheap starter camera. Cost £99 at the time, I am sure there are better ones for that price now but I would have recommended it at the time, it's a Fujifilm S5800. For these I just went to the Lego website and ordered a load of spare skulls and skeleton parts, well worth the money I think, kept me amused for a while at least hehe.

I like packing my camera bag, it's like getting ready to go on holiday in my imagination... And it has to be done before every photoshoot along with the boring task of charging a semi-large heap of batteries and the fun of loading film.

Third Roll

These were taken a few weeks ago actually, while we went to visit my granny me and my dad went blackberry picking so he could make some jam.

These photos were taken with my Canon A-1. :)









We got several pounds worth in the end. Hope you like these photos, until next time! :)
