I started collecting back in 2011 with a Halo:Reach two box set. Since then I would pick up a handful of Halo figures from then

on. It wasn’t until 2016 where I finally purchased my first 6 inch figure, the Black Series Kylo Ren, that made me widely pursue more toy lines and figures that caught my attention. In that same year, I decided to open up my toy photography account on Instagram, where I was widely inspired and motivated to do so because of @odst1701. Since then I have gained knowledge from a college course and other photographers, met people in real life, and saw the awesome nature of the community, and blindly pursuing other toys and collectible items.

H ello there! My name is Lizzy, also known as Force of Light. I’m just a gal who likes Star Wars, has a fairly large collection

of toys and a camera. I started taking photos after I stumbled upon Instagram accounts that were creating outstanding art with just toys. Getting to take some figures, go outside, and let my imagination roam free is one of my favorite things to do. When looking at my gallery, you may find that lighting is a ma-jor aspect in each of them. Lighting can express emotion and set the scene. I use it to give my photos my own unique style. The toy community itself is friendly, helpful, and awesome to collaborate with! I do toy photography to share my creativity and love of Star Wars and figures with those who love them as well and to…be light in darkness…

I am Nunzio Giorgio Carducci, and I am the mind behind Faceless Trooper. My first experience with photography was

in an eighth-grade photography class. Until recently, I mainly took portraits, along with landscapes and macro photos, on my personal account @carducci_kid. My transition from collecting LEGOs to buying up action figures catalyzed the shift in my subjects, and on January 9, 2018, I created the Faceless Trooper: White Armor Black Rifle brand. It wasn’t meant to be too serious, just a casual attempt at making a content based around a specific type of photography, but the over-whelming positive response to my work told me that I had found my niche in the photography community. The abili-ty to take two steps outside my house and recreate a scene from Tatooine or do portraits next to a window is what makes toy photography a great activity for me as a college student, It’s about helping new photographers grow by giving them feedback from my experience as a semi-pro photographer and creating content that I have a passion for.

Star Wars The Black Series Tusken Raider

I started my Instagram page in January 2016, I had just gotten my first Star Wars the Black Series figures and was searching

Instagram for more info and pics, and realized there was a lot of talented photographers posting these incredible photos of different figures. I thought I´d try it myself just for fun, but I soon became more involved in the community and met a lot of peo-ple that shared my interest and inspired me to push forward. As a mainly outdoors photographer I´ve spent a lot of time looking for locations and that is also a big part of why I´m doing this, I really enjoy being outside and finding new spots for the fig-ures, trying to make them look as real and alive as possible in the surroundings.I´d like to call this photo “Victory Night Redux” as it´s kind of a remake of an indoors shot I did about a year ago when I first started to use different kinds of lighting and be-came more serious about my indoors photography. Since then I always wanted to try this shot outdoors with a real fire, just as the sun sets, seeing the Tusken Raiders celebrate another day in the Jundland Wastes.

It’s been more than 15 years since I started collecting action figures. The joy I feel when I find a figure that I really want, the

excitement of waiting for my preorders to arrive or the smell of freshly opened figure box, all of these feelings are indescribable to me and fellow collectors know exactly what I’m talking about. It was pure coincidence that I started toy photography. Yes, I was a figure collector, yes, I was into photograpy but it never occured to me that these two hobbies of mine could be combined so beautifully. Until I saw a few accounts on Instagram. Then I knew what I was looking for and toy photography was just the thing for me. When I do toy photography, I feel myself shrinking to their size and I completely disconnect myself from the outside world, whether I’m indoors or outdoors. One day I even lost my car keys over a photography session. Was it worth it? Of course it was. (I found the key later so no worries).
