\nAnother week, another challenge. This time around, we want you to tackle a genre of photography you may have never even considered trying out: toy photography. Instagram is chock full of Lego\u00a0\u201cminifig\u201d enthusiasts, My Little Pony portraitists, and Danbo addicts. This week, we want you to experiment with whatever toys or figurines you can find. Take a lot of photos, edit them in Pixlr using any effects you want (borders, poster effects, and vignetting are always good options), and tag them #pixlr #toyphotography so we can find and feature them.
\nTo make our own #pixlr #toyphotography example, we trolled around our Pier 9 office looking for co-workers who had toys on their desks. Our office is filled with carefree silly people, so we had a lot of toys to choose from. We grabbed Street Fighter Ryu and some plastic dinosaurs and wandered about to find a few scenic spots. We goofed around with a pack of gum in the kitchen, staged a fight on an ironing board, turned a dinosaur into a DJ, and pitted our two main heroes against each other in front of a 3D model of a cityscape. It was tons of fun!
\nNever done this before? Here are a few simple tips to get started:<\/p>\n
