Hello!
It's @theaphol here and it's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members! Today we will get to know better @johnreiley!
"Hi! I’m John and I’m from Utah, located in the midwestern United States.
I have had an interest in photography since a young age. Back in 2013, I first discovered the online LEGO community on Flickr and started photographing my MOCs, inspired by the amazing work of people like Mark Erickson (@markoffalworth on Instagram) , Chris McVeigh (@powerpig on Instagram), and Tyler Clites (@tylerbuilds on Instagram).
In August 2021, I discovered the BrickCentral community after coming across awe-inspiring photos by people like Nathan Michael Smith (@circus_robot on Instagram) and @yuri-badiner. Being a part of the community has been fun and has pushed me to try many new things.
My camera is a Canon M50 and I generally use the 15-45mm kit lens or a Canon 40mm prime lens with a conversion mount. I use a variety of LEDs, flashlights, and occasionally a flash. I prefer to shoot indoors where I have complete control of the lighting.
I edit all of my photos in Photoshop. Some only need simple color-grading adjustments, while sometimes I need to layer together multiple photos with different lighting to get it just right.
One of my goals for my photos is that it encapsulates some sort of emotion or meaning. I wait for an idea to come to mind that I really like before building and setting up for a photo. This means I often post quite sporadically as I sometimes have creative lulls.
Before I begin building, I often draw up a quick sketch of how I want the photo to look. As I build, new ideas will come to mind, and I’ll incorporate them into the build.
Sometimes I feel like I’m a part of the little worlds I’m creating and it’s satisfying being able to bring to life something that used to be just an idea in my head! "
Thank you @johnreiley for accepting our invitation and let the community knows you better!
