Very informative, thank you so much 😊. Planning some spring toy photography soon with a buddy, help fight Covid isolation too 😉. À few items I would add to that incredible kit: - torch lighter, smaller and can be found at dollar stores. - Small gardening Trowel for digging or building dirt... -Screw on lens protector in case of flying debris or Wind blowing. particles. -make a DIY smoke machine with a Vape machine... Small, recheargeble batteries, 100% glicerine used, does a lot of smoke too 😉 - Fishing Wire could be used too to hang stuff... Really looking forward to starting this hobby, been collecting for years. Thank you so much! Peace Brother ✌️

Thank you so much for this video ! My bf is a toy photographer and I wanna update his essentials..will be making a Christmas bag with all these items 😃
Hello, I realize that this video is 2yrs old and I've watched it a few times , just taking baby steps and taking so pics with my phone , but wanting to step up to an mirrorless canon , price range from $600.00 to $1000.00 , that also has great video capability, not trying to put you on the spot it's just that you've been doing toy photography for awhile and have been were I'm at which is the beginning , thanks Ray.
Brilliant video Jared m8. Invaluable info for all toy photography lovers. Well done for taking the time out to deliver this m8. That was a giant bag as well 🤣🤘🏼 Great stuff bro
I’m a photographer and filmmaker and lately I’ve been in a funk and not knowing what to shoot. You’ve just inspired me. I can’t open my Batman collection or He Man action figures but I will be buying some to open and use in this new awesomeness you showed me. Thanks man!! I’ll find you on Instagram and tag you on some I’ll take. Behind my job is an awesome wooded area so that’ll be fun.
Dude this honestly was an incredible video! A lot of great info to apply to our own photography and channels! Was mental watching along and then a screenshot of me popped up!! One of my fav TH-cam moments haha!! Keep killing it man!! Hope to catch up with you soon dude :)
@@sirdork730 Your welcome! I have a question for you about toy photography. How often do you do a photoshoot? Is it like once a week or something like that.
I had no idea that the little smokers could stain, so I'm glad I saw this before trying it out. Living here in Texas, it's hard to get fireworks. They're only available twice a year - Fourth of July and New Years.
Thanks Jared, I am getting more into toy photography. Currently I use a Godox R1 RGB mini light and will get some more or Lume Cubes. I have been looking for a light stand/mini tripod to support my light, so the Manfrotto should do the job. The only thing I don't like with Lume Cube though you have to pay extra for the gels, where as with Godox R1 all in one kit.
Hi Jared, vielen Dank für die tollen Tipps 👍👍 das war sehr inspirierend. Du hast ein gutes Auge für die richtigen Proportionen, ich folge dir erst ein paar Wochen habe aber schon eine Menge gelernt. Mach weiter so coolen Kontent. 🤩
Great video, really informative, great way to give ideas, over all, like you mentioned you don't need a expensive or experience, just do it, and have fun doing it
Holy Crap! I think at this point, I have just about everything on this list, and I do mean everything! (Even the bag) I hope you get credit for all of it, I used your links for everything. The only thing left on the list is the air-gun, which I think I'm gonna grab from my local Lowes. Also, my wife says I need to get a "SirDork" shirt, so I can wear a shirt that says "SirDork" on it..... Yeah, You did that. LOL! Keep on, keepin on!
Wow!! No way dude! That is so crazy! Thanks so much for using all of the links! I do get credit, so i appreciate it! Your wife is awesome 😂 you know where to get the shirts 😂😜 Thanks again for all your support dude!!!
I have a challenge for you. The idea is creating a huge battalion with troops, heros and viechles. Something in all locations, from urban to snow. You can challenge others, if you want.
Have you thought of using a shutter/cable release for your camera? This will allow you to move further away from the camera and still operate it via the "extended" cord (they have wireless or cable).
My thing isn’t gear so much I mean like u said if u got the figure and a good camera phone should be good. My thing is tryna find a good spot to take the picture. Tryin to find a good setting and background where everything looks proportionally right to scale. Not jus in the yard where grass will be as tall or taller than the figure. So it’s stuff like that if u got any tips that would be great.. also I have horror figures so I’m goin for pictures with those not so much storm troopers and stuff that I mostly see when lookin up toy photography
Great work brother. I started following you on TikTok and love your video BTS. My Instagram shots have become enhanced since following you. I have a lot of fancy gear for my cosplay pro work but found you just need to pick your gear to what suits you as a photographer and you target “talent”. Extremely good points in this and keep up the good work
I do! Currently the video can quickly be found on my Instagram or on my Tiktok. I will be adding it to my next BTS compilation video on TH-cam as well!
Great video Jared. I really admire your work. I wanted to ask, what's the name of the fireworks shop you go to in Pennsilvania? I live like a few hours from PA, so I'd like to know where it is, if you don't mind sharing. Good video, once again.
Oh that’s awesome dude! There are two I go to actually. They’re right next door to each other. They’re off of exit 219 on route 81. They are called “Black Cat Fireworks” and Big Daddy’s Fireworks. Once you g it off the exit, they are right in your face and impossible to miss!
I actually thought you used an expensive camera 😂 and here i thought my photos were terrible cause i have a rebel t7 but after seeing you use a t6 I realized im just a terrible photographer 😭
No way dude! That’s not the case at all! It just takes some practice! Gotta get used to your camera and the settings. Once you’re used to it more, you’ll start liking your photos more!
Hey man! Yes you’re absolutely right actually, until Black Friday is all done, my discount code is temporarily disabled. The Black Friday deals are pretty sweet though!
Hey all! My new Instagram account is up! Thanks so much for the support!

Thank you so much. After I got my first camera for Christmas I wanted to do toy photography and you also espired me to do it.

It’s the best one dude!!!!
I am VERY new to toy photography so this helped thanks you have the same names as me spelled the same way
Great content man! You inspired me so much!
That golden joke got me dying laughing 😂😂😂
As a photographer to another that silicon cover on your camera may being doing long term damage by keeping dust debris trapped in.. just a thought.
Agumon right next to Sylveon? :D
Or is that Charmander? Hard to distinguish that plushy
It’s a super old charmander pushy keychain!
I also do toy photography! just not on my channel also what are your favorite action figures to use during toy photography?
That’s awesome dude!! I use many different figures but my favorite are Star Wars black series figures!
@@sirdork730 my favorite figures to use are also starters figures

My cat died
Awsome dude
Thx that helped me l am still learning
Thanks for watching 👊
Great vid mate!!!
bring those fire works to cali right hahaha. We are on fire ahah. Once the snow hits I can bust out the sparklers haha.
Another great place to pick up cheap figures is car boot sales and charity shops
Cool !
I'm thinking there might also be some editing software (to hide support wires etc)
And it made my work cool
👌🏻
Ur literally a god to me been a fan for a long time🤣🤣
Awesome dude 😎👊
Helped a lot thank you
You influenced me to be a toy photographer
That is so awesome dude, thanks so much for all the support!
Does the bendy tripod work with Polaroid iS048?
Most likely! It has a basic universal camera mount, so I imagine it’d fit all cameras!
@@sirdork730 good to know!
Jared, do you have a current promo code for Lume Cube? Of course I will use your affiliate link as well..
Hello sir! Thanks so much for using my link!
Yes! My code is SIRDORK10 ☺️ get yourself some awesome stuff!!
I actually thought you used an expensive camera 😂 and here i thought my photos were terrible cause i have a rebel t7 but after seeing you use a t6 I realized im just a terrible photographer 😭
No way dude! That’s not the case at all! It just takes some practice! Gotta get used to your camera and the settings. Once you’re used to it more, you’ll start liking your photos more!
Do you use a micro fog machine ? I bought the cans of aerosol fog, but been trying to find one if you do can you send a link ?
I’ve never used one! I usually only use atmosphere aerosol! I know @workmoreorless on Instagram uses one, try asking him! Good luck!
Cool vid
how long does a can of atmosphere aerosol last you?
Great vids
Thanks a lot! They actually last a long time, it takes me a few months to go through one can!
Discount code isn't working on LumeCube right now. Maybe just because of Black Friday deals?
Hey man! Yes you’re absolutely right actually, until Black Friday is all done, my discount code is temporarily disabled. The Black Friday deals are pretty sweet though!
