It's summertime! And for many, that means time off… But we're not the only ones enjoying a well-deserved rest.
Our figurines, mistreated, experimented on and photographed all year round, are also entitled to a little vacation!
Here's an album of their summer activities...

I took advantage of the vacations to shoot my entry to #bc_tipfest photo contest on @brickcentral
Go outside / Make it pop: I used a real set for the staging. In this case, a sunset on the beach. This helped to catch GoldenHours vibrant colors.
Pose your subject: The figure is deliberately placed from the back, in a static but serene position, with its face facing the sea/sunset to draw the eye towards the subject.
Use props: As the figure is from the back, a few props help us to understand that the figure is stand-up paddling.
So we have a happy, serene surfer (even if her face isn't visible) enjoying the last rays of sunshine after a day's paddling 😉

At the beginning of September, I'm sorting through my photos… And it's a good opportunity to come back to old images and imagine what we'd do with them today… And sometimes take a chance, as in this picture!

I never really liked the initial rendering: the image wasn't transporting enough, the futuristic ice planet atmosphere didn't work, and in the end, this superb set (exosuit) wasn't well showcased. I went back to the raw image to try and give it another chance.
Here is the original version :

Vacations are often synonymous with a change of scenery, and therefore a good way to change the setting for your photos.
I always take a few figurines with me, and sometimes escape on vacation to stage them.

At the beginning of July, we went to the seaside, and of course I took along some pirates (and a few other figurines)!

For sure, Classic Space figures know how to have fun! This Lego theme is one of the oldest but the figures have not aged a bit. It even looks like they are in fashion, so much so that a new color is announced for January 2023!

And it is while writing this post that I realize my love for this theme. I grew up in the 80/90's and Classic space was my favorite theme (along with knights). This is reflected today in my many photos featuring them!

My entry to #bc_tipfest photo contest on @brickcentral :
The Medieval Band
For my 2nd entry, I used other tips, just to vary a bit :)
- Build an environment: I'm more used to shooting outdoors in natural settings, especially at this time of year. But I tried to change my habits by creating a 100% lego environment. As the main subject is a group of minstrels, the setting had to be medieval. I based the set on the forge. I used natural light to illuminate my scene, but with a large gold reflector to give it a warm ambience. I added tree branches (bonsai) to create a frame around the group and create a "cosy" atmosphere :)
- Use props and add details: brick-build scenes are already detailed, but adding props reinforces the impression. In this case, I wanted to create a group of minstrels, so I equipped them with medieval clothes and instruments that existed at the time, to be credible. I could have chosen anachronistic instruments to make a gag, but that wasn't my intention or the emotion I wanted to convey.
- Pose your subjects : I hesitated for a long time over the choice of faces, but I finally found those that corresponded well to the joyful mood of the minstrels while being compatible with singing and playing musical instruments.
I hope this photo speaks to you in the same way I imagined it :)

After the cosmonauts of the Lego Classic Space universe, it is the turn of a second theme to be highlighted: The pirates! Once again, it is a theme dear to Lego which exists since its beginnings. And especially a theme that is conducive to exotic and adventurous settings.

My taste for outdoor shootings is particularly adapted to stage these pirates and privateers in various environments :) Especially since I am lucky enough to live in a forest and next to a lake.
