Yet another mashup of mine: combining Star Wars and Transformers!
Outdoor toy photo shot taken in Jones Beach, Long Island on a sunny and windy afternoon in March 2016. I was debating driving to Coney Island to take the photo, but I chose a location a little more desolate to avoid tourists. For this shot in particular, I traveled to a small sand dune and used a mini tripod with my camera a few inches away from the subjects. The three Jawas are original Kenner figures that I had since I was a pre-teen in the ’90s, and the Megatron is in fact an authentic G1 figure with his true Walther P-38 as an alternate mode. The Megatron was already in bad shape with missing parts, peeled stickers, and cracked paint – hence I didn’t mind getting it covered in some sand. I used a flash to fill the shot, since the sun backlit the Jawas.
