Toy Lovers is an online magazine that showcases interviews with some of the best toy photographers out there. Whether you are an aficionado or just starting out, its goal is to provide a source of inspiration for anyone interested in toy photography.

How it started

I discovered the world of toy photography back in 2016 while listening to a french podcast called "C'est cool ! C'est quoi ?". I was immediately captivated by the concept of using toys as subjects in photography.

I had never considered toy photography as a legitimate form of art and always thought of toys as collectibles or relics from my childhood. However, the podcast opened my eyes to a whole new world of creativity and possibility.

As soon as the episode ended, I began to research the topic more thoroughly. I was amazed at the level of skill and dedication that went into creating these miniature scenes and capturing them on camera. I was also inspired by the incredible community of toy photographers who shared their work on Instagram.

Since that day, toy photography has been a passion of mine, and I'm always amazed at the incredible creativity and skill of the photographers who specialize in this niche. And as a toy photography enthusiast, I wanted to create a place for toy photographers to share their expertise and experiences.
