Los Angeles-based photographer Mitchel Wu has made a name for himself by creating action-packed photos featuring plastic toys. 60 Second Docs caught up with Wu and made this 60-second mini-documentary that offers a look into his work.
As a toy photographer I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and effects -- primarily practical effects, but I won't hesitate to dive into some digital effects if it helps me tell a story and create the strongest image possible. Some of my more popular images include real liquid splashes, so I thought I'd share some of those images here.
Mitchel Wu is a professional toy photographer. He combines toys, photography skills, practical effects, and imagination to create "alternative universes" in which toy characters come to life.
