How to create an action figure still life photo setup this Halloween


Is there something strange in your neighbourhood? No need to cower behind the sofa. You have the tools and the talent to bust some ghosts right in your own living room!


Here is a Ghostbusters toy photography scene I made with action figures to get you into the spirit of Halloween. If you aint afraid of no ghosts, take a look at the props below.


Props needed to create a Ghostbusters toy photography image


If you're looking to create something similar, you might want to consider the following props that I used:


  • Ghostbusters toy action figures

  • Model gravel

  • Novelty Halloween ghost torch

  • Coloured card for the backdrop

  • Mini fog machine


The figures I used were from the Hasbro Ghostbusters Fright Features range.
