I have been working on a series of Lego mini figure and candy photographic art prints for a while now. As new figures are released by Lego or as new ideas come to me for existing figures I add them to my running “idea list.” then when time permits or creativity inspires I add a new photo to the collection. I’ve posted on some of the vignettes I have done so far in the past. Lego Vignettes Part I, Lego Vignettes Part Two and Lego Vignettes Part Three.
The most recent addition to the collection involves one of the earlier Lego mini figures, the clown and some balloons made out of gumballs.
This print and most of the others from the past posts are available for sale on my Etsy store.
Head Shots
For this collage of images I took 64 individual head shots of the 4 Lego mini figure series. I used a Tamron Autofocus 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 
lens with a Kenko 25 mm extension tube in order to get the very close up shots. The back drop was just my black office desk and the lighting was the late afternoon sun filtered through the window shade. Then I used Photoshop to crop each head shot down to 1″ x 1″ and created a new 8″ x 8″ canvas to combine them all together into the collage. Hint, set up a grid of guide lines dividing the page up into 64 1″ squares (or whatever size you are working with) and then set the snap to for the guidelines. This will insure each image is properly aligned.
These are the first three in a series I am working on combining the new Lego Mini Figures and candy. I started with the surfer and bubble gum because I liked the vivid colors. Now I have challenged myself to match up each of the 32 Lego figures (with 16 more on the way) with a candy to create these vignettes.
