Is everyone enjoying their Valentine’s day? I myself have been working overtime instead, not by choice though. But I have managed to unbox some new figures and take, er, one photo of them!

Rin Tohsaka is showing how it’s done properly! If you really want your loved one(s) to know your feelings then there’s 1) make sure you let them know (don’t keep it to yourself), 2) don’t lie about how much you love them (notice Rin made a lot of hearts) and 3) tell them sooner than later (they’re still in school but Rin waited till it was evening). I’m not sure if Emiya Shirou is overwhelmed or just surprised cause Rin slammed the basket onto the table.

In any case, I for one think Rin is really cute like this, she’s one of my favorite characters after all!

From the other side of the portal in the anime series Gate comes Rory “The Reaper” Mercury, a demi-goddess, an apostle of Emroy, the god of war, violence and death. But despite the rather terrible sounding job description Rory is very friendly and adventurous, though not if you happen to be a bad guy.

I figured a rocky setting, with a red sky to match her dress, would suit this figure best as it’s one of the settings used in the series.

I was reminded (but don’t remember by what) of an old photoshoot I did with Kuroyukihime three years ago in the summer. I was driving home from work one day and found the sunset behind my house could be a perfect backdrop for a photoshoot. I quickly grabbed the camera and the best fitting figure I could think of and headed into the forest behind the house. It’s been fun to compare my new post-processing with the first release of the photos I did on figure.fm back in 2013. Interesting to also find discarded photos for my first release that just needed more attention and skill to make them work. Enjoy!

Waking up this morning and noticing the first snow this winter outside I knew I had to break out my unopened Snow Miku figma and do a photoshoot. Sadly, it was more ice than actual snow but I still managed to get some snowy looking shots.

I’ve had a bunch of people ask me what camera I use and how I can get such clear and sharp photos. I didn’t choose my camera and equipment myself when I started out as I’ve mostly borrowed whatever my family already owned, but in hindsight, analyzing my style and what I like, I think the cameras has suited me very well. Let me show you what equipment I frequently use for my photoshoots and what I’ve recently bought!

Time again for some older photos, these ones taken in the summer of 2013.

I’d like to say that one of the best types of pictures are those with some sort of conflict within the frame. So naturally Kirino Kousaka and Ruri Gokou from Oreimo (My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute) suited well for an idea of a Weiβ Schwarz game picture. Since my Kirino figma, with her short temper, also has a shouting face she was pretty much a natural choice anyway.

I’ve redone the processing on these since I wasn’t all that happy with them from the first time released.
