Hey everyone!

I wanted to let you guys know I may not be posting in here as much anymore, because I've now made an Instagram account strictly for my figure photography.



You'll see much more of the type of photo above if you follow along! www.instagram.com/mikes.monsters

I'm going to try to keep it frequently updated with new photos every few days. It'll be a mix of all types of sci-fi themed creatures and creations. I hope you guys enjoy what you see!

Did you intentionally set that picture up to look like this?



As always though, I love your work. Great shots.

Overall, the end sequence in general was the inspiration. My shots didn't come out exactly like I'd hoped, but I'm glad you can see that I was trying to go in that direction. I always appreciate the kind words, sir!

Hey Mike, any chance you'll do some Kong shots with the new movie being released next year?

Oh, I'd love to. Unfortunately, I don't have any figures of him, or have the money for figures I'd actually want to own.

Hi friends! It's been a while, but I've got some new photos of our dark lord and savior to share.

All of the lighting and effects were done in camera, with only post production being some minor color saturation tweaks. Basically, these photos aren't very edited and it looked like this when I snapped the photo. And actually, most of my photography you've seen here is like that, not much photoshop. <3

(Facebook friends and those who follow me on www.instagram.com/mikes.monsters may have seen these already)

I finally picked up the camera to photograph some of my figures this week, mainly because we have had a few new sexy arrivals! I also decided to celebrate the ending of Dragon Ball Super with a few photos as well. Here's a small batch, and I have more coming soon! And also, the lighting and special effects are all in camera here! No photoshopping involved!  ;D

And just for fun, my old Palisades Alien statue.




Gah. I uploaded low resolution and they look like crap. Not fixing them haha. Sorry y'all!

Thank you, my friend! You know I always appreciate it, brother!

Damn, it's hard not getting emotional when going back to my first post in this thread. 10+ years ago I started toying (lol) around with the ideas that I now do today as my full-time job. Every step in my growth in photography is easily seen in this thread! I'm not crying, you're crying. :'( ;)

Here's a few new photos from over the last few weeks. All done with creative lighting and camera tricks. An example would be the Shin Godzilla photo using a projector to create the background image, with the figure silhouetted in the foreground. You can see more at www.instagram.com/mikes.monsters!

Get ready for a photo dump!

*a wild Mikey appeared* I'm loving the psychedelicness of those IR Predator pictures!
