🤩 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: konschmidt Hello everyone! It's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members, and today we will get to know better konschmidt!
"Hi, my name’s Konstantin. I have been passionate about Lego photography since 2013. Over the years, this hobby has grown with me and become an integral part of my life.
My photos capture the beauty of everyday moments where the characters enjoy life with their loved ones in various settings and seasons.
I especially cherish the annual Christmas scenes, where I portray the wonder of joy, warmth and coziness.
Most of my photos are taken inside, where I experiment with different lighting sources and natural objects. I also use water and baking soda to simulate precipitation.
My goal is to achieve a natural balance between these elements and the Lego bricks.
Each photo is a long project. I photograph my own builds, so the first thing I do is sketch future buildings or vehicles, then I assemble them using 4 thousand Lego bricks. Next I choose minifigures and accessories.
I prefer simple figures with classic or modern Lego smile. After all, my characters almost always experience joyful emotions.
I enjoy sharing my process through behind-the-scenes videos. So along the way while photographing, I also shoot BtS content. For my photos I currently use Nikon Z 50 with a Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm lens. I edit my photos after a break. This helps me to be more objective about my work. Lately, I add more movement to my scenes since I started making small stop-motion videos. But to summarize, I consider myself a perfectionist who values quality over quantity.
I’m very grateful to Brickcentral for giving me the opportunity to showcase my work!"
