Fujifilm has introduced Instax Pal, its latest instant-digital camera hybrid. It’s as tiny as a keychain, it looks adorable and offers tons of options to play with. However, it’s separated it from the printer, making everything unnecessarily complicated. You need your phone and a dedicated Instax printer to get a tangible batch of your favorite snaps.
Photographer creates miniature desert scene from scratch. Yes, even the elephants!
Even though AI can let you create virtually any scene you can imagine – it can’t replace building and photographing it yourself. I’m sure that the feeling of child’s play and creativity is still best expressed through actual photography, and for now, no one can convince me otherwise. Marcin Dobrzyniecki is the perfect example. This talented artist creates miniature scenes from scratch and photographs them, so it’s hard to tell whether they’re dioramas or life-sized objects.
His recent photo of elephants in the desert particularly drew my attention and led me to discover his work. He kindly shared some photos with us and revealed how he made the final image.
How this photographer shot a toy F1 car to make it look like a real thing
Over the last few years, I started watching Formula 1 races again, over a decade after I last saw it with dad. I started following several F1 photographers and drivers, and I truly enjoy the content related to this sport.
So, when I saw a photo from Dutch photographer Ruud Van Vught, it naturally caught my eye. It shows Max Verstappen’s Red Bull car in a sunset over Spa Francorchamps track. But then I read the description: it was actually a model car. I just had to reach out to Ruud and ask him how he did it, and he gladly shared it with DIYP.

This photographer creates a tiny “egg planet” with practical effects only
We’ve already met photographer Udi Mozni through his creative miniature images. He shoots everyday objects and turns them into something completely new. So, it’s no wonder that he reimagined an egg as a little planet. I asked Udi a bit about his process, and he kindly shared it with DIYP.

Here’s how to shoot action figure photography on a budget
My name is Anindo Rudro from Chittagong, Bangladesh. I’ve been doing miniature photography for about 5 years now. I’ve seen so many miniature photographs which are done by high-end light setups and cameras. People always think about buying them but can’t afford them. They think it’s impossible to gain the same output without this high-end equipment. And from the very beginning, I tried to create the same output with low budget gear.
So in this new series, I’m going to show you guys how to get those amazing photographs only using mobile LED lights and a slow shutter. Which we may call light panning or light painting.
Everything you need to know before you start miniature photography
I’ve seen so many great examples of miniature photography that I wouldn’t even know where to start with examples. I’m very inspired by it, and I’ve wanted to start shooting my own miniature photography for a while now. If you’ve wanted the same, Mathieu Stern has a video just for you. If you’re still new to miniature photography, here’s everything you need to know before you start shooting.
