How to Make Your LEGO Come to Life!

In today's new video I'm again trying something new: LEGO Photography. On Instagram I see countless of these photo (manipulations) of LEGO figures in different environments, and I had become quite anxious to try this out for myself! For this experiment I decided to buy LEGO Rivendell to use as my primary set, but ended up being much happier with the minifig-only images. Using artificial snow I tried making a bed of snow for the figures to walk on, and those turned out great in my opinion. If you liked this video, let me know in the comments below!

Got any fun original ideas for future videos? Let me know down below!

As a big LEGO Fan and Photoshop Fan, this video was epic! Thank You!

Benny you've inspired me in artistic ways, I started watching ur channel when I was 10 and I've watched it ever since, thanks for the inspiration

[BrandonShep]

Epic vid Benny! Very cool to see you make your own assets through photography

I key to photography like this, when you have the camera in a static position on a tripod, is to take many different exposures that you can blend together later in Photoshop. For example, the red light being cast onto the figures/environment, can be done in camera with a small red light, then you can blend that exposure later with neutral exposures. It will give a more authentic feel.

Mr. Benny, I’m absolutely blown away by your Lego photoshoot and the incredible Photoshop magic you’ve applied! It reminds me of the days when Lego used to create stunning artwork for their boxes and instruction books, even including mini posters in special editions. Lately, it feels like Lego’s creative spark in their artwork has dimmed a bit.

I really hope someone from Lego sees your fantastic video and gets in touch with you. Your talent could truly revitalize the art on their boxes and instructions. Amazing work, Mr. Benny! Bravo! 🌟🎨 #LegoArt #PhotoshopMagic

Benny your content is always in another level, thanks for the inspiration

I really like his sense of aesthetics when making photomontages.

Love this, as I do all your videos! When shooting photos on a tripod, you’d benefit from slowing the shutter speed. If everything is stationary, everything will be just as sharp. It will allow you to lower the ISO and decrease the noise in the initial shot, which looks cleaner than a de-noised version of a grainy image.

Love this newer style of video bro! Seeing a bit more photography and the legos was a cool idea. Keep it up man💪🏼

[Maumau_mauri]

It’s great to see a vid from you again

[PhantoomWriter]

Insane timing, I'm just beginning to rewatch the LoTR series. Nice

[rawchocolatier]

As a graphic designer (been doing it for ever) and a Lego fan, I absolutely love your work. ❤ Could you please try to make pictures where everything is made of Lego (even if you just create the background so it looks like Lego, it would be amazing). 😍🎶❤️

I love Lego myself and I have to say. This was extremely fun to watch. My favourite Lego model I would have to go with is either the Venator Class Cruiser or one of the AT-TE sets from the Clone Wars or the new Avengers Tower that was recently released.

Really enjoyed your photography process in this video, Benny. Would love to see more of it.

[DBZnetwork]

Hey Benny you should look into focus stacking photo techniques. That way you can get all those Lego characters in focus 👍🏽

[HakunaHisTatas]

Hey Benny!

You have been THE BIGGEST Inspiration to me since I’ve found you Years Ago when you were just a small channel!

Because of you, I have mastered photoshop and now am a padawan VFX artist in Blender!

Just truly thank you for the bottom of my heart and NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS EVERRR🙌🙌🙌

In 2021 i bought my first PC at the age of 17 and tried to learn Photoshop, at first I watched Piximperfect (I still watch) to learn basics and sone advanced stuffs, then I found your channel and I cant say how much you inspired me in creative way and in daily life also. Thanks a lot sir. I respect you a lot. Love from India.

[Steven-edsc]

Always look forward to watching you every Saturday

[micahnike]

I'm gonna take some LEGO photos then edit them in photoshop brb



Seriously Benny, you've inspired me to learn photoshop and the fact that you love LEGO makes me enjoy these videos even more!

[XxHeManWomenHaterxX]

Hey Benny! Some camera tips: generally a better photo will be at “eye-level” of the minifigs. It gives a more immersive feeling rather than high angle like the first picture. It’s probably why you liked the last picture best, plus Darth Vader is just awesome. Great job!
