TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
So today I photographed Gabe, a friend of a friend, and most of his collection of Transformers. Final count of those on display and not in box amount to 210ish (we didn’t move ALL that were on display) and there are still many more still in their original packaging. There were some gestalt types too (ones where 5 combine into one huge one) and various multi-parters. If we were to include the boxed along with separating the combined ones it would bring the number much, much higher.
Starting to get a hang of photographing large groups of things, spent 4 hours on the whole shoot. Much of the time though was dragged through transporting or arranging the collection. Glad to have Michael though as an assistant.
In the future, I would like to photograph the collection as a whole. For now, time constraints limited me to just stick to the necessary shots.

Hoping to be able to digitally color like this within the next few years.

When I was little, I remember believing that transformers permeated through every cartoon universe. I like this mash-up of transformers and ghostbusters for that nostalgic reason.
