After doing articles on gunpla posing, I thought I need to improve my lighting and settings. I mean the gunpla photos look a bit dark and shady. And how about the background? Well I only used the gunpla box to provide a makeshift white background, resulting to this sad and somewhat dark photo effect.

The problem is I’m yet to set up a desktop toy photography. So, expect my photos to be as amateurish as ever. I mean I only got an EDC keychain light for the lighting, and a brick wall for the background. Nevertheless, I found something rather helpful while searching the deep reaches of the web. Why not improvise and use what you got?

And that’s exactly what I have done.

Currently I’m using images from my laptops to provide a rudimentary background for my toys and gunplas. You heard it right. The laptop screen will serve as an improvised photography background. I’m testing if the HD images from the web will be enough to make a form of photo diorama. At the same time, I like to know if the laptop screen images will be convincing enough. There are pros and cons when using your laptop for toy photography, and we will know them later. But firstly, let’s get playing and snapping.
