Toys In Love

February, love month. Ha! Here are some of my images I made these past few years on some of the most famous couples from movies, TV and games. Love is in the air indeed. <3

Come Away With Me

I have always been fascinated with stop-motion animation films. The Corpse Bride, ParaNorman and Nightmare Before Christmas are some of the favorite films in that category. Got this commemorative box set last October and I have created a diorama using styrofoam, old dailies, acrylic paint and plaster of Paris (for the snow).

This is my simple set-up for the shoot. I'm only using a lampshade covered with a Japanese paper. To achieve the 'bluish' feel, I adjusted the camera's white balance. :)
