Vader’s funeral pyre is a shot from Return of the Jedi that I’ve wanted to recreate for a long time. For the close up I used a lot of trans-orange flame pieces and shone a light through them in order to illuminate them. I placed a dark green plate in the background just to add a hint of colour.

For the wider shot I removed the dark green plate and used a black backdrop and reflective floor – I think they both came out pretty well.

I have more than 20 years in television production and photography and can finally put all that experience to good use by combining it with my number one passion in life, LEGO! I love all things brick-related, but the theme that really floats my boat is the original LEGO Pirates range. I currently have a LEGO wishlist that far outstretches my shelf space... and bank balance!
