I am looking for good pictures of loose complete figures, vehicles, creatures, playsets & carry cases from many 1980s lines for the main website www.action-figures.ca.
I would need them to have a black background. The black backround doesn't have to be perfect as I will touch it up later in Photoshop. The pics should be clear, have minimal glare, be large in size, not be cut off and be straight on shots. Here is a perfect example.
IIt is best to use a backround made of black cloth as black paper shows up grey and gives off a glare (even a black article of clothing works good). To reduce camera flash glare, take a picture of the figure with a white piece of paper beside it (it seems to absorb any extra light) and I will edit it out later. Weapons, helmets and accessories should be laid out beside the figure. If the figure has clothing, armour, a belt, harness or cape it should be left on the figure for the picture.
For most of the lines I currently have on the main site, you will know which photos I need, when you click on the name either no pic or the "Coming Soon" pic will show.
There are also pics in various sections that I want to upgrade. I would like to eliminate any of the ones that I have just taken off of Ebay years ago (they usually have some crappy looking background - not black).
For lines I don't have active on the site, drop me a PM or email me and I'll LYK what I need. Eventually I would like to get material for most of the 70s & 80s figure lines that were released. I will leave the big 4 - Star Wars, MOTU, GI Joe & Transformers to the very last as the more obscure stuff is a higher priority.
Well, thats it (whew), I realize its allot to ask for but I want the site to look top notch. Anyone with pics can post them here or email me directly. I would suggest taking a few shots at first so I can look at them and LYK if it is the style and quality I am looking for. Feel free to ask me any questions.
