Today I finally got around to one of the items that has been long on my list. That is to start photographing my figurine collection.

With Horo, I started simple using a simple tan background. I experimented with a number of angles, lighting options and camera settings until I cam up with what I have below. I’m not completely satisfied but these 2 are the best of the lot (in my opinion). I’m a little bugged by the reflection of the lighting from her dress. I need to find something to cut back on the harsh lighting.

For Yui, I started with the same tan background as Horo. My daughter suggested using the box interior as a background and I was very pleased with the result! I know that Yui is not quite in focus but I was running short on time by then. I’d love to have a Figma Yui to compare with the Mobip version side-by-side. Just not in my budget at the moment. I wonder if I can compare with my Nendo Yui…

Anyway, there you have it. I plan to take more since this round turned out so well. Let me know which of the 4 photos you like the best. Here’s a poll for you…

I plan to do some more photo shoots since this seem to go quite well. I am using a Canon Powershot SD 800 IS for my sessions. Some day I’ll get that dream DSLR. I hope to raid the local hobby shop some day and see what kind of small decorative items they have that would be suited for using in my shoots.
