Imagine your favorite superhero, lightsaber ignited, ready to take down a villain. But instead of a blaster firefight, they’re locked in an epic duel… with a spilled soda! That’s the delightful world of Andrea Toyphotography, where action figures from Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and beyond come to life in hilarious poses mid-drink.
Andrea Toyphotography’s photos are more than just cute pictures of toys. With clever camera angles, lighting, and the addition of realistic splash effects, these miniature scenes burst with dynamism. Each photo tells a story, capturing the playful chaos of a lightsaber duel interrupted by a misplaced beverage, or the dramatic tension of a superhero reaching for a refreshing drink just as a villain attacks.
Over the years, I tried many genres, from nature and astro, to landscape and city photography. Around May 2020, I realized that I hadn’t picked up my camera for months. During that time, to keep myself busy, I reignited my childhood love for Lego. After building a couple of sets, I thought I’d take some photos of them. I have always been a huge Star Wars fan, and I owned a few figures, so eventually, I started to use them as my models too. Little did I know that there is a growing toy photography community on Instagram, and almost 4 years down the line, toy photography will be my main hobby. Over the years, I tried different ideas, one of them was to combine toys with drinks, be it a cup of tea, a can of beer, etc. All the splash effects were created practically.
