It's a great series and available for Free on our YouTube Channel now! 

In the first of the videos in this six part series, Platypod Pro photographer, Kersten reviews his suggestions for achieving the most realistic quantity, quality, color, and direction of lighting. Which is the real secret to making your toy photography images look exactly how you want, jaw-dropping!

This is the first in a series about everything from lighting to camera settings and post processing. After watching today's training, light-bulb-moments are sure to happen in your photography. You'll be making store bought toys look like Hollywood masterwork in no time!
