Chara Hobby 2010 - How To Photograph A Gundam Exhibition

The Chara Hobby 2010 event had an exhibition that focused on how to photograph gunplas.   Good stuff.
Here is an image I took in 2009 using the simple photo booth method covered in the first 6 photos above, but I used a dark grey background paper instead.  It came out alright...could use a better camera though.

  1. Any idea what those materials they're using are? I can see the tracing paper

  2. In the article all they mention about the photo booth is using desk lamp, tracing paper attached to aluminum frame, a papar board, and camera w/ tripod. Very simple photo setup.

    This is how I try to take photo of my toys too.

  4. @BB: Yeah is pretty useful stuff here. It definitely makes a big difference with image quality.

    @Tsukinari: The requirement for the setup is very minimal, I am already using this format to take my recent Kamen Rider figures photos. They turned out pretty good.
