The Photographer And Story Behind The 1990 TMNT Movie Poster

Have you ever wondered about the photographers and process behind iconic movie posters? Some of Azriel Knight's most vivid nostalgic memories are over the striking movie poster for the blockbuster film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Being born in 1992, I don't have as much of a connection to the TMNT franchise as this video's host, but this did not hinder my ability to enjoy it! Growing up I had an older brother who in the '90s was most certainly taken by these pizza-eating turtles, so I understand the significance of this movie for someone from that era, and this video's host is no exception. 

For Azriel Knight, seeing his beloved cartoon come to life was such a unique experience that now in 2022, when he learned the photographer's name by chance, he attempted to make contact. You can see the pure excitement Knight has when he shares with us the outcome of his interview, and you can’t help but share in his enthusiasm. Revealing the gear and process that went into creating this poster is a lot more interesting than how I imagine things are created now with so many technological advancements.
