Otakuthon 2022 Special: Getting Started with Photographing Anime Figures | Panel Session
48This is an upload of a virtual panel session on "Getting Started with Figure Photography" which premieres in Otakuthon 2022, Montreal, Canada, on the 6th of August 2022, 10.30am local time in Montreal (GMT -4, featuring a compilation of tips on getting started with toy & figure photography that is more focused towards newbies and beginners in this hobby.
If you could not remember everything you heard in the event, you can watch this as many times as you wish, and ask your questions in the comments below! I would be more than willing to help you with your questions on figure photography.
As a scale anime figure photographer, naturally I would be using these figures as examples. However, the methods taught in this tutorial are also applicable for many other types of figurines.
With a limited time frame and video length, i avoided anything that is too technical, such as camera settings or what optional lenses to buy (in addition to the kit lens). However, I do have more resources and guides below on how to pick camera lenses for toy and figure photography. Do check them out in the links below!
