Los Angeles-based toy photographer Mitchel Wu stages action figures like characters in a film crew with a sense of humor. In his world, General Grievous might be enjoying a few beers at a backyard barbecue while Stormtroopers take over the grill, and Darth Vader's idea of a day off could involve a swing set, a helmet off, and absolutely no galactic domination.
"I find myself in the same thought process I had as a child when I played with toys," Wu says. "I'm rediscovering the joy, reconnecting with my 10-year-old self, while enjoying the creative freedom of writing my own stories."
