There is creative genius and effort behind every toy photograph… and most of us gain very little from it, apart from the self-satisfaction. We all just do it for fun, that’s the point.
David CuberoWonderfactory Artist, Barcelona, SpainDavid Cubero Pascual (b. 1976), lives in Barcelona, and is a compositing artist for movies and animation. He was involved in several critically acclaimed animations that have clinched film awards in the United States, Europe and Canada. He also draws comics as a hobby. |
David collects all kinds of action figures, and started shooting pictures of them with his iPhone in order to create a library of action poses for reference when he draws his comic books. He soon realised that photography breathed life into his toys, and with some captioning, he could tell toy stories the way comic books do. David has held exhibitions of his toy photography in Spain, Shanghai and Singapore, published a book in limited-print, gave talks at Barcelona University, and had his own weekly column in a magazine. He was also featured as a photographer to watch, in the book ‘Impossible Photography’ published in October 2017. David’a influence in the toy photography community is recognised by several toy companies, which collaborate with him quite regularly. David owns a video and visuals production company, and spends his time creating beautiful solutions to his clients’ needs. When he’s not working, David spends time with his 3 children deciding what to do with their toys. |
