Photographing miniatures is not an art. Painting the miniature is the art. The photographs should show the miniature the most
« honest » and real as possible without any interpretation.
THE ART OF NEUTRALITY
What makes a miniatures photograph great?
- Right exposure - Sharp deep of field - Global, neutral & soft light - A great miniature :-)
The whole miniature is in focus
The focus is on the gun, not interesting
The focus is on the face, better but not yet there

THE VALUES ARE UNIVERSAL BUT THE CROPPING DEPEND ON THE SIZE OF YOUR SENSOR
YOUR CAMERA HAS 85% OF CHANCE TO BE IN THIS RANGE
Light… we experience it everyday. When there is any light there is nothing. We observe it since we are kids but it’s still so hard to understand and master.
The inverse square law
INTENSITY OF LIGHT IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE
DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE OF THE LIGHT
The light intensity decreases slower than the distance between the subject
of the light source
Me to physics and mathematics
RAW or JPEG?
RAW JPEG- flat but neutral - more flexible
- more contrasty and good looking straight from camera
- less flexible in photo manipulations
Good for mini pictures Good for holidays pictures
ExportsWEB - Max 1280 px large - 72 dpi - Small sharping
PRINT - Same size as the original picture - 300 dpi - No or subtle sharping
