LEGO CD Cover Photo

reached #1 in Explore - July 25, 2007

This is a photo i shot for a cd cover for a ska band.
first i thought the whole lego idea would come out really nice, then it got to a point it sucked so bad, but just in time i tried someting with the grid in the background and it all seemed to go right from that moment on. I made this in 1 day. Including the concept and the search for the right bricks and stuff. Now I have to make a 4 page cd book (this is the first page, the cover)

bandname: life against us

strobist info:
canon 430x pointed at a white paper behind the background grid. 1/1 power, 24mm, ebay trigger.
sunpak pz4000af slightely behind and left of the camera. 1/16 power, 28mm, ebay trigger, homemade minisoftbox.

    Neat idea! What's the band name?

  4. jere-me (71 months ago | reply)

    haha the axe should refere to a guitar ;-)
    the band is called 'life against us' , not such a good name if u ask me and the members, but they came up with the name within a minuten or so. the logo is really bad, but maybe i get to change it :)

    I think pictures that show something not seen before should be "interesting"-- and I have to admit I've never seen a lego dude crowd surf before. Nice.
