The Stunning Work of Chris McVeigh
June 11, 2009
Chris McVeigh is an author, illustrator and photographer that lives in Halifax, NS. He started with photography in 2007 when a friend insisted that he should purchase a digital SRL. Chris is a natural talent! He now excels at creating clever, quirky and often comical pictures that employ everything from action figures to backyard wildlife. (In fact, a combination of the two garnered the attention of Lucasfilm, who featured his picture on the front page of starwars.com!)
I bumped into his work when I was doing my regular research for our Daily Inspiration post. Let me say that I was not only inspired by his work but I also got stunned by it. He has soooo many great works that I would like to show here that I decided to split his material into 2 posts. This first one will be about his excellent "toys photos". Chris captures the characters in a very interesting, comical, expressive and creative way. I'm pretty sure you will like all these images... I loved it!! :)

Super post! its amazing how he can make the action figures look alive :)
Awesome squirrels for the win!
Nice work. I wonder how he got the squirrel to pose for him?
An absolute joy to browse 5*!
Sorry! I meant Chipmunk, not Squirrel.
Really dug his work and it's a big surprise to learn that he's from Halifax. It's really nice to see someone from a small city like Halifax be featured here! Haligonians for Life!
haha! i likey!
Great set of pics! This may be a stupid question, but is the fifth pic (with the chipmunk) photshopped, or did you wait for that pose?
This is a lovely and extremely creative way to use macro photography. I LOVE IT!

Students have been known to try to fake a doctor's note to get out of school. A South Carolina woman has now been arrested and accused of writing fake doctor's notes for four students. The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reported Wednesday that 45-year-old Naomi Antoinette Aranda was charged with forgery. Horry County police said she wrote notes for four students at Socastee High School, including her own child.
jajajaja great work
Great work!!! This guy is brilliant!!!
good lighting technique, stunning ? not really.

Ummm. Im not sure... But keep walking...
It is great to know that I am not the only one who sees the world like this. Wonderful work by a creative artist and fellow child at heart.
i dont get why these are stunning, interesting sure, not stunning
What the hell is wrong with you guys. These are pictures of fucking legos. How is a loser with a huge star wars lego collection and a camera deserving of the title "artist"?
This isnt original, funny or good at all. You suck chris McGavisk
Great shots!! This made my day!
of all the people who visited this page, why am I the first to say you probably meant SLR, not SRL (in the subtitle)
otherwise the photos are nice.
a "little" funny... no pun intended
Original, funny and verry verry good indeed, you are awesome Chris McGavisk.
these are really nice!
Dude. That one with Batman leading the storm troopers and holding the light saber is totally bad ass. I want to blow it up and put it over my bed knowing that the dark side and dark knight are watching me sleep.
