Nice!

Love your photos' colour

May i ask how u do up your background? Almost like shooting in the studio. Coloured paper? Of course, in your case, it'd be black.

Place the paper near the wall and a table perhaps, fold half?

Please correct me if i'm wrong

THanks! My setup keeps changing for the first 2, the setup was really cheapo. The figurines are on a low table and the backing is the back of a chair that explains the "dot dot"
No flash but use long exposure instead.

Then the Kenshin series, i use 2 A3 black paper, with the table against the wall. So 1 piece as the base and 1 as the background. This time round i just use bounce flash off the ceiling.

Now i use DIY Light tent to take photo of my figurines, will post when i reach the more recent photos of the figurines

Hope i answered your queries

[berriess]

U sure did. Thanks!

Love the shots.
Maybe I shoot some of my toys too.

Just a suggestion. It is typical for product photography to use a continuous
background to show seamless transition from ground level to the back. Get
a longer paper and let curl at the edge.

Your edge on the background appeared to be slanted. This may be
considered as a distraction to some.

Looking forward to the DIY light box shots.

Nice figurines shots..
..maybe need to place the figurine a bit on the left(like rules of third) to balance out with the names? (just one cent from me though this is already nice)

Yeah, upcoming figurines will observe the rule of third All these shots were taken when i first got my DSLR, so i am learning and trying to improve as i take more pictures XD.
