TBLeague - My photographic portfolio

At the kind encouragement of some of the folks here, I wanted to share a small collection of my Phicen / TBLeague figure photography... I love capturing the beauty of these pieces, hopefully in a way that exemplifies their design and artistry... Forgive the number of photos, but it was actually hard to pick these few... I hope you enjoy them!

Nicely done. Some really great shots and posing. Thanks for sharing as many as you did.

Those are some gorgeous, professional grade photos! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful series of photos -- I'm sure they were indeed hard to pick, but you chose well. While I don't collect tbleague figures myself (my interest is moreso in the tbleague bodies, which I use for custom projects), I am familiar with most of these from seeing them here on the forum, and I must say you make them look the best I've ever seen them! The poses, the warm tones, and the almost chiaroscuro effect literally show them in a different light. Your custom figure with the bike is likewise extremely eye-catching. Once again, thank you so much for sharing! 

Excellent work. You really know your photography.

Thank you guys so much! One of the aspects of photographing at 1/6 scale I really love is that the lighting techniques I use here scale perfectly to 1/1, so this ends up being a great laboratory for lighting and composition...

Just a few more bonus shots...

Beautiful. The great thing about these TBL figures is they are a lot cheaper than hiring actual models to pose for you. Keep ‘me coming.

I think TBLeague should employ you to make their products look glorious.

All gorgeous.

Yes, they are actually fantastic models - completely agreeable to any wardrobe you like, and infinitely patient... and as I mentioned, the lighting setups I test out with them are totally useable with my 1/1 models

Holy crap thank you GubernatorFan - TBLeague are you listening?

OUTSTANDING!!! Simply OUTSTANDING my friend.

Thank you so much AFM2! I'm just happy to be able to share these here

Epic women with epic shots!!!!! 100 marks!!

I love TBLeague bodies too, they always give you full potential on posing and body gestures....

As the other ones said, very professional and Gubernator might be right about those promo shots.

From all those glamourous figures, I think your custom Kawasaki Ninja...I mean Honda Samurai might be the best. That little orange accent with the strings works really well with the bike, as does the overall look and style. I hope you have more customs on the line.

While your photography and posing is perfect, some of those oversexy Tbleague figure outfits are just ridiculously impractical by design. For example, the Galaxy Soldier looks very great. But those high heels are so impractical! Well maybe she preferred workplaces are in Zero Gravity, who knows. xD  
But they were not made for plausibility or realism, but to show off those bodies, I know.

That has often given me pause with these sets -- not that I don't appreciate the beautiful form. As for Galaxy Soldier, the outfit/armor (what little there is) appears to be actually a sexed-up and skimped-down version of the fuller outfit and armor worn by the female Kryptonian officers in Man of Steel, which highlights your point.

As a rule, TBLeague definitely goes for style over function, and I set my expectations accordingly... to be fair, they are great to photograph if nothing else

Thank you brassco! I definitely want to play around more with the lighting gels - I love it when I can get an effect like this

Thank you so much Ovy! I'm a complete novice at doing customs with these figures, but I always loved the idea of chicks and bikes, because, you know, chicks and bikes And I knew I wanted to add a Samurai element too... and as much as I'd like to say I had everything meticulously planned out, basically the whole thing fell together by pretty much dumb luck... But I really like how both she and the bike came out... I will definitely work on extending that theme. And the Honda Samurai needs to be a thing

Great Figures, poses and Photograpie

Thank you so much Ephiane! Here are a few more, because Tuesday...

Tuesdays tend to be uninspiring days, so your beautiful additional photos are perhaps very nicely placed to spice it up just a bit.

Lovely shots. Those are some curvy backsides.
