This technique changed our Toy Photography forever…

Join Ben from Adaptalux in this dark cinematic toy photography tutorial as he transforms an Alien (1979) Action Figure into a moody sci‑fi scene filled with smoke, shadows and colour.

Using the Adaptalux Studio lighting system and a compact fog machine, Ben shows how to turn a simple desk setup into a dramatic spaceship‑inspired environment.

With careful backlighting, coloured lighting arms and slow‑moving fog, this tutorial brings the iconic silhouette of the 1979 “Big Chap” Alien to life in a small‑scale scene that anyone can recreate at home.
