Joliezac's Animal Figure Photography: South America *Updated November 18*

Here I will be posting photos of my South American models:

First off is a photo of one of my favorite figures, the Schleich Andean condor. I was taking a photography class for college and I had to take some pictures in my backyard so this was a very simple shot. I hope to capture him with some mountain backdrops when I go on future ski trips

My absolute favorite species of bird: The Harpy eagle, second being the prehistoric-looking lammergeier
I remember being so excited when this model came out from Safari, and I was very surprised at the excellent quality and detail of the TOOB harpy eagle this year. I would love for perhaps Papo or CollectA to make a harpy eagle in a flying or striking pose! I really need to get my hands on the Colorata figure

The CollectA brown-throated sloth, hopefully staying out of sight of the harpy eagle...

CollectA's beautiful maned wolf. I would have liked to take photos of Safari's but I was very disappointed in the model's size, paint job, and horribly twisted paw

Then Safari's beautiful jaguar facing off against a wary caiman

There will be more photos to come! I just don't want to overdo it, so I'll upload more later, enjoy!

Great shots again! I admit, the canid shots are my favorite this round.

Absolutely stunning shots again, I love the blue sky background for the condor! In every photo the animals look as though they could be alive! The sloth shots are so good, especially the way you have balanced him so well on that branch! And I love the first maned wolf shot, the background fits brilliantly with the model!

I love the toucan, the glowing colour of the leaves and light really goes well with his bright colouration. And that sloth is great, I really like the way he's sculpted so he can hang from one or more feet like that - you don't often see these models getting to be out 'in the wild', posing like they were intended. I want a sloth now

Nice pics

I was surprised and a little disappointed in the CollectA sloth's large size, but the detail on him and pose makes him one of my favorites. I always love when a model is posed more naturally

Excellent photos!

The last batch of South American animals I could find in my files:

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful- the last two are my favourites!

Had a very warm November day so I went out to take some photos while the leaves have mostly turned

Very little green left at the creek so I had to rely mostly on moss but I really wanted to get photos with the Beauty of Beasts jaguar and I really like how some turned out.

Then I also got some pictures of the Safari caiman and I couldn't resist adding some Schleich butterflies, I'll just have to pretend its a baby caiman

You are living near a warm and beautiful jungle 

The jaguar is stunning but I love the butterflies idea 

Stunning again. it's so clever the way you can focus on the right areas and blur out the right areas, so that it looks really professional!
