Creating Blast Effects in Toy Photography!

3/05/2019 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

Toy photographer Johnny Wu stops by Adam Savage’s studio to demonstrate another of his practical effects for miniature photos. This time, he shows how he uses sparklers to create fiery action behind his subjects, evoking battle scenes to dramatic effect!

Please note: Sparklers and fireworks are inherently dangerous and we do not recommend attempting this at home. Flour is also extremely flammable!
