My 2019 travelling toy box
Like so many toy photographers, I carry a pretty much permanent selection of toys in a toy box in my bag for quick photo sessions.

Tiny toys
Who would have thought that teeny tiny rubber toys would bring such fun for toy photographers? And yet, the good luck minis from Safari Ltd do just that!
Out of town, out of focus
I headed out on the Cambridge toy safari last week.
Borrowed fun (or, what does this button do?)
As a toy photographer, I’ve borrowed a lot of things before in the name of photography. One thing I hadn’t borrowed before was a camera.
Thank you for loving a toy photographer
Happy Valentine’s Day fellow toy photographers!
Taking flight
Taking flight – a six image narrative
A little experimentation with bokeh
A few weeks ago I shared a link in the email newsletter (have you signed up yet?) to an article called Bokeh Photography: Everything you ever wanted to know.
New year, new project
Last year I didn’t start a single photo project. This year, I’m going back to project based photography.
2018 blog report
Whilst 2019 is officially here, I’m still looking back at 2018. Here at Toy Photographers we love to do some analysis on our photos, so as part of that this year, I thought I would take a look back at the blog as a whole for 2018. The following is …
Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express (a toy photographers review)
After three months of procrastinating, it’s finally time for my review of the Hogwarts Express (Set 75955). This is the final review of the 2018 wave of Harry Potter sets. Why not take a look back at the earlier reviews as well? Hogwarts Great Hall (Set 75954) Hogwarts Whomping Willow …
Countdown to Christmas 2018
I honestly can’t believe it’s already almost a week into December. This year has absolutely flown by for me. This time last year I was buried in a full house clean out as we tackled carpet moths. It’s felt a little non-stop since then! It’s not been the best year, …
Too many new toys, not enough photography
Warning: this post contains self-indulgent meandering thoughts around the lack of photography in my life right now. Feel free to skip over this post and go explore the new MeWe community or the new Flickr group instead if you don’t feel like reading!
This is Halloween
Happy Halloween folks! Make sure you eat lots of sweets and watch scary movies!
Harry Potter and the Quidditch Match (a toy photographers review)
It’s time to continue with our Harry Potter reviews! If you missed the previous ones, you can check out my reviews of the Great Hall and the Whomping Willow set before this one, which is taking a look at the Quidditch Match set. As before, this isn’t a ‘bits and …
Unexpected locations
At the toy safari last week we spent a surprising amount of time around water, especially considering we were in the middle of a city.
London Toy Safari wrap up
The London Toy Safari took place last weekend. We had 12 toy photographers in all, and it was pretty epic.
Heading to the big city
The London Toy Safari starts tomorrow, and I’ll be hosting 11 Toy Photographers over the weekend, showing them the sights of the city!
An hour in the woods
After over six years of living in my area, I finally decided to make a little effort to go find some woodland to play in.
Harry Potter and the Whomping Willow (a toy photographers review)
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the LEGO Harry Potter Great Hall (set 75954). This week I want to take a look at a set that expands on that and provides additional opportunities for the toy photographer – the Hogwarts Whomping Willow (set 75953).
New figures, new stories
With the London meet-up in less than a month, I’ve been preparing madly. Part of this preparation involved getting a set of custom TV Heads (from @krash_override) for the paid participants! If you’ve been following Toy Photographers for a while, you will almost certainly have seen these guys around. Since they …
