Don’t forget to shine every light on it you have available while you photograph it with a 15 year old phone.

To this day I keep on saying I will just buy a $200 standalone camera and I still haven’t.

I always rely on my current or 2 year old phone which I still have trouble taking reliable photos with. They’re great for social photos and landscapes, but I find them a bit troublesome for a single subject like a figure or statue.

Same here. I'm not buying an expensive camera and light set up for statue pics. Then adding professional photograph editing. That's like a whole different hobby on its own lol. Cell phone pics with daylight get the job done.

You're so right, no one knows how to use a camera or flash in 2020. Oh and everyone who can afford $1000+ statues has a 15 year old phone. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the manufacturer.

Let me know if there's anything in particular that you'd like to see as far as photos are concerned.

Relax. It was hyperbole. Generally every time the first photos of a statue pop up they’re very low quality images.

I’m dubious that Prime 1 delivered on this piece but happy to be proven wrong with some higher quality images/video. Hard to tell with what we’ve seen so far.

I paid $205 CDN in duties and taxes. How did you pay less?

I just got mine a few days ago. I will be opening him up in the next day or two. I cannot believe how big the boxes are.
