Danbo and LEGO series

Everyone knows I love Danbo. This little toy really is very cute and makes me wanting to learn more about toy photography. How come I am interested with toy photography? It all began after I watched Toy Story movie. Being an imaginative kid back then made me think what if toys really are alive when humans are not around or asleep. But it is actually interesting to see toy photography around the web. It all shows as if toys are really like humans, doing activities etc :)

Good thing is, I don't have to have toys on my own to support my ideas for toy photography. That is because I live together with my host family. One of the kids has so many LEGO series in his room. I began to think what kind of pictures I can take with all these LEGOs, together with Danbo :D.

Here are some of the results hehehe...

Danbo as Pirate Captain

I have some ideas in my head about more of Danbo's adventures. Since I mentioned before, that I live with a family that have kids, there are so many toys in the house to support my ideas. One of them is for Halloween purpose. As you know, on Halloween day people wear costumes. So suddenly I thought, why not making some costumes for Danbo as well? Well, it was not a clear idea, until I went to Søstrene Grene store last 2 weeks ago. I saw some funny stuff to buy and here are what I bought:



From those stuff, plus the toys I can find at home, I made pictures of Danbo like these:


Now Danbo is the Pirate Captain (notice the hook on its left hand? hehehe). You know I was using the Lego ship (I don't know which version of it) and well it is supposed to be not a pirate ship but well I just put the flag, that I bought from the store, on the top of the pole. (Looking sharp, Danbo!)



And btw, that is the quilt that's under the ship hehehe.. That was so right in time, that Caspar was using this type of quilt. I get to have sea-alike water effect :).





The last 3 pictures, I used the toys from the kids of a friend of mine. He has real pirate ship, so I tried to take pic of it with the hope to get better picture. But it turned out I could not take the whole of the ship as it was too big. I also used the floor mat that is blue colored, hoping that it would look like the sea, but well I could not take the whole picture with a sharp result. 



But well that's the best that I could do. More pictures to come!
