MAKING SNOWY SCENES
How do you make a snowy scene come to life? Watch how Benedek Lampert uses ordinary things around his house like flour, cardboard and garbage bags to build a snowy mountain-scape for his amazing brick photo. You can add even more details to your photos when you get creative. Make trees out of cardboard or position your minifigures doing cool moves by using paper clips!
USE THE ELEMENTS
Water, metal, smoke, light – Use the elements you have to your advantage to add texture and atmosphere to your brick photos. Benedek Lampert is an expert at finding new ways to use things like metal and wire to bring his photography to life. Try capturing mist or a lens flare from a reflection to bring your image to life.
MAKE IT MOVE
Simple movements can make big changes to photos. Try out different ways to make your scenery move around your models or find ways to make your models move on their own! Fishing line can be a great tool to make things look like they’re floating and moving on their own.
