I am curious with cinematic photography and I think it would look cool to some of my figure shoots.
I’ve tried it before with Little Yotsuba and Mini-Danboard, but I think it is most appropriate with scale figures and action figures, or something with dynamic and candid pose.
I looked for my old raw shoots and stumbled with Kenshin Himura of Samurai X. These photos are the ones I thought I would never share to anyone. I remember one of my friends told me long ago that I should keep my raw photos and discard only the blurry ones because you can use them one day.
In this set, I used Lightroom 5 and adjusted a little in Split Toning section, less exposure and highlight, black, contrast and saturation. Just like any other newb would do in Lightroom. 😛
Kenshin’s cinematic toy photography reminded me of the live-action. Now, it makes me want to watch it again.
I know I still have a lot to learn and I welcome any tutorial video link for such effects.
I might try this out to Jinouga Hunter as well.
Thanks for checking out! ^^

I assume these pictures were already that nice from the start ^_^
These little postprocessing adjustments nevertheless create a nice cineativ flair, like a samurai on patrol early in the foggy morning. It are really good pictures, but forgive me that I don’t know the origin of this character.
You don’t know Kenshin yet? Oh no, you’re missing one great series. Check out Samurai X “Rurouni Kenshin” (or if you prefer the manga) then watch the OVA. The series was shown in late 90s I think.
Thanks for the feedback buddy! ❤ ^_^
Nice cinematic photographs! One of the first Anime that I’ve watched when I was a kid. XD
“One of the first Anime that I’ve watched when I was a kid.” — that makes you my “kouhai” then. Haha. I was already HS in the late 90s. :))
haha looks so :p I still consider myself a kid when I was in HS hahaha! :p
Ohhh Kenshin! One of my childhood crush! ❤ Good job on your first try in split toning! The dark tones really suit the photo, and it did gave justice on Kenshin's "almost-ready-to-slash" atmosphere here.
..and your friend is right, ditch the "nyarp" photos, and keep the RAW ones! Have fun with Lightroom and you'll discover more! 😀
I will. Thanks Scher! ^_^
Lovely and very inspiring >///< The dynamic framing of the third photo actually reminds me of Momohime!
And is that dew around him or small flowers? I can't quite tell. ^^'
Those are grass flowers I think. I am glad you liked this set. Thank you ^_^
fantastic shots, i thought it was revoltech since kenshin is more popular on that toyline… but Figuarts ZERO is not to shabby itself~
Oh, the Revoltech Kenshin disappoints me but this Figuarts is way more cooler and Kenshin looks handsome too. haha. Thanks bro!
