Star Wars Figures - Mike Maez

More themes for Tweety Got Back.  This series was an experiment and an homage to David Levinthal that I shot a few years ago.   Mr. Levinthal used images that spoke to his childhood and generation, so I choose items that spoke to a modern generation, they are 1-2 inch Star Wars the Series figurines.  I set them up in a metal storage box and lite them solely with glow sticks which I also included in the shot and they add an interesting neon effect.

Action Figure Studies - Mike Maez

These backgrounds were designed specifically for Tweety Got Back from an early series I shot.  The Action Figure Study Series, came about because I had a model not show up for a photo assignment that was due the next day.  Not having time to reschedule or recast, I ran down to Wal-Mart and bought some WWE action figures that acted as stand-ins for my model.  The first shoot turned out so well and became such a hit that I continued to shoot them for several shoots.


I think it might be time to dig them out and have another go at it.  What do you think?
