Thx, thanks for the superb pictures. I wish I had the skill to photograph subjects behind glass, without the picture just turning out to be a reflection of me and my camera! My favorites from your set are the SS Vampirella and the Gentle Giant Artemisia, both of which look a lot better in your pictures, than any of the promo shots I've seen. You've really captured the beauty of the sculpts.

Thanks again,

Dave.

Thanks, Dave, I struggled like everyone else trying to take pictures through the glass or acrylics cases. I uses my hand as lens hood quite a bit to block out some reflections or moving the camera around to find a spot with the least reflection to take a shot. It's part of the reasons why it takes time to go through all the shots and pick out the ones that has the least reflection in it so that you guys can see better, lol.

hey bro thanks for all the amazing pictures, your pics have convinced me to order 2-3 pieces that I was on the fence about. so actually maybe I shouldn't be thanking you... in all serious I think we all appreciate your time and the effort you put into this, sideshow should seriously hire you

THX thanks for the great pics. Year after year you come through for us, taking not only great pictures but many images of the same statue, giving us a better idea of how they look.

You should try using a polarizing filter. It gets rid of reflections in glass.
