One of the joys of doing this podcast is connecting with artists whose work I admire. Alan Rappa is one such photographer.
I’m a big fan of Alan’s cinematic style and crisp macro work that brings you right into the scene. I love the way he can recreate scenes from films like The LEGO Movie 2 or Avengers: Infinity War, without losing his own artistic voice in the process.
As a fellow indoor studio photographer, I wanted to ask about his studio setup and creative process, particularly when it comes to experimenting with lighting and practical effects. We also chat about how he went from photographing Disney parks to toys, collecting, and more!
Thanks to Alan for the great conversation. Make sure you follow him on Instagram and Flickr, and check out his blog posts here!

Great interview, Alan! I totally agree on the need for control over light, the same reason I don’t shoot outdoors much.
Great listening James and Alan ❤️??❤️
A fantastic listen. Thanks for making my day at work a little brighter Alan and James.
