Images of a Star Wars action figure posed on a mossy wall in the Cairngorms and taking in a view of Inverness from a hotel window have helped South African photographer Darryll Jones gain a big following online.
With almost 90,000 followers on Instagram, Jones’ work has also been featured in the Guardian and digital photography magazine Retouched.
But the rise in popularity of the photographic adventures of toy stormtrooper “Eric” and the poems that accompany him started almost by accident.
“I moved to the UK from South Africa six years ago, and didn’t realise how dark and cold the winters are here,” says Jones.
“So instead of the normal landscape photography I was doing, I found myself confined to the indoors, with only a few Lego stormtroopers as friends. So I started shooting them.”
After getting positive comments to his set ups using Lego Star Wars figures such as Chewbacca and Speeder Bike riders, the photographer and graphic artist moved on to action figures and the character Eric emerged.
Other Star Wars mini figures, including bounty hunter Boba Fett, also appear in some of Jones’ scenes.
“I just enjoy making people smile,” says Jones, whose day job is creating marketing images for a supermarket giant.
