Jared Middleton, also known as SirDork730 on Instagram, dedicates hours to meticulously crafting action figure scenes with real-world environments and small firework effects to produce stunning action photographs.
Jared, 26 (as of the video published on March 22, 2019) from New York, began photographing action figures as a hobby in 2013. He admits that his early attempts “looked like complete garbage,” with basic poses of figures shooting at each other. However, through persistence and trial and error, he refined his skills and eventually produced stunning results.
Photo Gear He Uses:
“I use a Canon EOS Rebel with an 18-55mm lens. I don’t use any flash, but I use flashlights and natural lighting. I keep my shutter speed as fast as possible to capture the explosions. I bring a couple different tripods for filming as well as the photographing. That’s about it!”
