One year ago today I posted this miniature Wallace and Gromit photo I created using real lighting, figures, miniature sets and a hand crafted, hand painted Norbot that I created.

Gromit tries to read a book in bed but is unable too as Norbot is charging loudly at the bedside

There are some people taking my photography and re posting it out of context to push their own agendas to their social media pages be it political or something else, this is not acceptable. I spend a lot of time creating these shots to entertain people and would ask that you respect my work.

"Aunt Maggie, Chucky wants to watch the nine o'clock news..."

All shot using real lighting figures & miniature sets.

This is two photos in one. I created the initial shot with Chucky then created a whole new scene for the news, digitally created graphics for it then added it into the final scene.

"Your strength has returned. But the weakness still remains. And that is why you will always lose."

All shot practically (except the lightsaber which I had to digitally add a glow too) cotton wool for the fire lit with an orange light & cotton wool for the sky. An old piece of log for the mountains
