With the Movement Control Order (MCO) ongoing, there are many limitations to what we can shoot daily. Like architecture, sports or even events. Thus, I started looking indoors on what I can use as my subject to shoot. I found a few Tomica toy cars I bought as a souvenirs when I was in Japan.
First, I started visualising on what settings looks best for each Tomica car. I started sketching it to check what material would be needed for the shoot.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class in a rainy jungle backdrop
I imagine it is a 4-wheel drive and able to run on different terrain. Maybe with some rock beneath the wheels, with heavy jungle setting in the back. Plus, the doors of the toy car is able to open. Therefore I decided to add some drama to it, using a sprayer to create a rainy back drop.
And here’s my best shot
Nissan X-trail Fire Chief Car rushing to scene
Nissan X-trail Fire Chief Car suites more to an urban backdrop. With this in mind, I designed it to be rushing to a scene in a highway road. To add more action to it, I try to capture some water splash. P.s. it rained a while earlier so I decided to use that rainy backdrop.
Final result.
Hummer H2 on the road in a winter night
My dream car is a Hummer and that is why I bought it at the first place. I wanted a really cool look for this car. Finally, I decided on using some lighting to give it a dystopian feel. By using my phone and laptop, I looked up for some full colour images and turn up the brightness.
