Proof that Great Photography has Little to do with your Wallet

fsnewslogo Proof that Great Photography has Little to do with your Wallet

Avanaut (aka Vesa Lehtimäki) is proof that creativity, ingenuity and photography know how, are the qualities that make an intriguing photo. With out a camera worth thousands of dollars or pencil thin models, Avanaut has turned out some dynamic shots, using primarily, Star Wars lego figures. His use of light, perspective and inexpensive props, produced some very cool dramatic scenes full of motion. See the results for yourself and check out Avanaut’s Flickr Stream for more wonderful shots.

  • Jonathan Lapointe

    Sorry but you don’t tell us what he uses for camera and I can’t seem to find info about that on any of his flickr photos. Misleading title ?

  • http://twitter.com/JamesRphoto James Robertson

    this needs a BTS video

  • http://twitter.com/infinityphotogr Infinity Photo

    Brilliant stuff. Kudos to him!
    (Exif says is a Canon 400D, but really who cares about the camera this guy understands light & composition in an unique way!)

    amazing stuff, love this!

  • Chris Helton

    agreed BRILLIANT stuff and he understands lighting and composition in a unique way. But I have to say it was a bit misleading too. Should include what you shot with and how you accomplished it.

    Thanks fstoppers for for a great post. But when you say ‘see.. amazing shots and it doesnt take awesome gear’ well, tell us what gear it was lol

    he showed how he did these shots a while back. He shoots them while they are in a fish tank so he can get the snow to float. There are some really great toy photographers out there and he is one of them.

    Been following avanaut since a while on Flickr, his work is just impressive and stunning. Not quite sure at all on how he does it, but whatever it is, secret recipe or public.. he’s got a talent. Surfing his flickr stream can become highly addictive :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1527649829 Johannes Reitter

    Brilliant!!!!!

  • http://www.rlmorris.com Lee Morris

    killer post!

  • http://www.facebook.com/FirkinMichael Michael Battenberg

    Wow…. note to self: The most important elements in a great shot are imagination, play and a cinematic vision. Who needs TTL?

    Wow !!! This is guy is amazing !!! just love it.  Thanks for the inspiration.

  • Ettore Toma

    lovey dovey

    Post higher resolution versions, some of these would make awesome wallpapers

  • Jen Johnston

    Really great collection from a very talented artist, but the article is very misleading with its title. After cruising his photostream you can plainly see that among other cameras he uses a Canon 5DMKII for some of his shooting. If that isn’t thousands of dollars worth of gear in your eyes, I’d like to know where you definitions of wealth lie…

    very good job

  • http://abstractartist.org Cris Ronk

     Great hobby. It looks like it was a lot of fun working on these shot. Kudos to the photographer.
