This is my ( Mitchel Wu) journey to the incredibly niche genre of photography known as toy photography. As you’ll see below, this isn’t the photography of static toys against a white background. My toy photography revolves around storytelling and the creation or utilization of found environments and/or sets. It also often involves the use of dynamic practical effects to support the stories being told.It’s been a journey with incredible peaks and valleys, and unexpected turns. Like many photographers working today, I am completely self-taught. Decades ago I attended the California College Of The Arts in Northern California and graduated with a degree in illustration. Although the tools I used back then were pencils and paint brushes, what I learned about composition, color and storytelling has undoubtedly helped shape the look and feel of the photographic images I create today.

The BeginningIn 2015, I found myself at a crossroads in my wedding photography career. My daughter was entering high school and I was missing all of her weekend sports competitions because weddings happen primarily during weekends.

How I Came Across Toy Photography? It was during this uncertainty that my nephew introduced me to toy photography, at the time a relatively

Could support legs or arms. He also came with a double-sided laser rifle that could be split into two pistols.Modulok has one of the more clever names in the MOTU toyline. It’s a marriage between the words “modular” and “lock”. His construction is modular, his pieces lock together, and the hybrid word certainly sounds like a credible name for a villain.The artwork on the box Modulok came in was very true to the overall design of the toy. However, where the action figure featured dark blue paint on some of his arms and legs, those parts were colored light purple in the box art.Image courtesy of Jukka IssakainenThe front and back of the packaging featured illustrations of Modulok in dozens of different configuration. The idea, I’m sure, was to help kids engage with the toy more by giving them many different ideas for play. I think I eventually tried out all of them.The scene on the back of the packaging shows Modulok transforming into various configurations mid-combat as he confounds Skeletor’s Evil Warriors:The instruction manual that came with Modulok provided even more ideas for putting him together in bizarre new ways, including some ideas that would require purchasing multiple copies of the toy. It was a bold attempt by Mattel’s marketing department to move more units, I’m sure, but I don’t know that many parents would have been convinced to buy the same toy two or three times over.Update: Early versions of Modulok required quite a bit of force to take apart and put together. In a December 6, 1985 Los Angeles Times article about best and worst toys, Modulok was given a “Trash Box” rating because of that problem. Dave Capper, the Director of Marketing for boy’s toys at the time, told the paper that the problem had been
