Most toy photographers have a place in their hearts for Star Wars. It doesn't matter if that toy photographer is in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the Philippines or Malaysia - Star Wars is the common thread that runs through most of them. I use the toys as a jumping off point to other stories, adventures and humor. The Star Wars toys have been a way for me to tell a variety of stories by combining them with toys totally unrelated to Star Wars (also known as "mashups.''). A blood thirsty Rancor with Simba from The Lion King? Yes please (and sorry, Simba)! I love presenting iconic characters in unexpected ways, so a hardcore Star Wars fan would do well not to expect images from me that are accurate and faithful to the original movies and characters. With that said, my images are absolutely a celebration of one of the greatest adventures ever told in film. And one thing I think we can all agree on, it's dangerous being a Stormtrooper!
I use mostly practical effects in my images, but ultimately I'm open to using any technique - practical or digital - to tell my stories and to get me to my desired visual results. Link to my Instagram to see tons more toy photography!

"Eat some s'mores I will, mmmm?" Considering that this Yoda toy is just a few inches tall, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is one of the smallest campfires ever intentionally made.

"Dang, gravity really brings me down!" (Get it??) Yet more proof of the hazards of being a stormtrooper.

Would you consider Commander Cody a good guy or a villain?

"Run, Melvin, runnnnnn!!" A frequent guest star in my images is this T-Rex. I've featured him in my Toy Story images as well, doubling as the Toy Story dino, Rex. And the peril to my stormtroopers continues...

A moment of silence please for yet another stormtrooper who met his demise in one of my images.

This is one of the only times you'll see a stormtrooper hit his mark. This image might actually be too preposterous to believe because of that.

My stormtroopers often meet their demise at a nearby park which bears an incredible likeness to the planet Tatooine. In fact, an old episode of Star Trek was filmed there, as was numerous other movies and tv shows.

Small, old, wise and mighty. Yoda is arguably the most iconic character of Star Wars. Definitely top 3.

Pound for pound (get it?) the most lethal Jedi ever! Now that Disney owns both Marvel and Star Wars this scene may not be as farfetched as it seems.

From acorns to evil, murderous oak trees. Everything about this iconic character is perfect - down to his name. Could George Lucas have come up with a more iconic name to match this character? Would Darth Vader be as scary and villainous if his name was really Ernest Binkelton?
