Duane Shoots Toys: Fusing Toy Photography with Sneakers and More



Duane Perera, or @Duaneshootstoys, is a Canadian photography who’s gained serious popularity online for creating amazingly detailed scenes with toys. His recent viral scene with Woody holding a pair of Jordan 6s has really boosted Duane’s popularity. 

The photography fuses pop culture characters with sneakers, video games and general 80s/90s nostalgia to create scenes that look unbelievably life-like. Duane uses a combination of figurines and a lot DIY to create scenes like you've never seen before! You can expect the likes of Goku shopping at Stadium Goods (with a black card in hand), Tyrion and Jordan checking out their new kicks, Mario dunking on Luigi, 2Pac on The Iron Throne and so much more!

 

Check out some of Duane Shoots Toys’ work below and be sure to give him a follow! Swipe right on each post to see a behind the scenes video too! His Instagram highlight stories also document the whole creation process and give amazing insight.
