Meet Johnny Wu, Professional Toy Photographer
We spend a day with toy photographer Johnny Wu (aka SgtBananas), whose beautiful photos bring toys to life and have gathered a big following on Instagram. Johnny shows us how he stages scenes in his miniature studio, lights his figures, and uses practical effects to add weather to his photos!

Really dig this feature. Johnny Wu is imaginative and loves what he does.
Very cool! Super interesting.
Absolutely beautiful work! Obviously a lot of talent.
Awesome! Thanks for this awesome video. I wonder to what extent the figure portraits direct his work. Does the facial expression limit him and how he chooses to pose them, etc? Obviously a super talented guy!
Wow! I like those small lights he is using. What brand are those?
I love your artwork Johnny – I can see the passion and care applied to each image. Cool to see a breakdown of your process!
i believe those are lumecube lights!
Great, thanks Norm! 🙂
that was as cool a video as you implied on twitter.
i really like his narrative-first approach to effects. he treats them basically like dessert – a worthy addition to a meal, but something you add as a sweet treat at the end. many a hollywood person would do well to take a page out of his book there.
