If you’re a fan of Star Wars, Lego, or both, you might want to clear a few minutes right now. Photographer Hue Hughes has generously shared with io9 some of his stunning photographs of Lego Star Wars pieces and we are completely obsessed.
According to Hughes, who resides in Bluffton, SC, all the photos you’re about to see were captured for real. All the different effects? Created practically. “The only digital manipulation was color grading, the addition of lightsabers, glowing eyes, and the sun and moon,” Hughes said.
“I like using matches and a fog machine when I shoot,” he continued. “The match creates a warm light source, while the fog machine creates an atmosphere. I create all of my own environments using common materials. Backing powder, sand, and construction paper make up the bulk of my building materials. I shoot many of my images at high speed to capture the particles of sand and baking powder flying through the air.”
