Apocalyptic LEGO photography

I just found another talented LEGO builder on Flickr, angelo_s. I was immediately drawn to some of his outstanding apocalyptic LEGO photography.

This picture is everything I want from my LEGO photography and more.  Shot by Angelo_s, this is the sort of image I will aspire to create.  First and foremost, this is a fantastic LEGO model.  From the curved ceiling, to the debris on the floor, everything is perfectly done.  Next, the lighting is excellent.  The harsh white light from a spotlight somewhere and the orange glow from behind create the perfect atmosphere.  And then the shot itself is composed very well.  The depth of field is wonderful, the slightly off-center perspective creates tension, and the focus on the out-of-place teddy bear is inspired.  Along with the torpedo boat shot I featured recently, this is one of my favorite examples of LEGO photography.

I have no clue why I am so into all things apocalyptic.  I love apocalypse movies, books, TV shows, etc.  Apocalyptic LEGO photography fits perfectly into that list.  I love the mood created by the lighting in the next shot.  It feels so isolated.  So alone.

I really like the glowing fires in this shot.  They really add to the sense of cold, and desperation. Are you into the whole apocalyptic genre?  I can’t be the only one, right?
