Hotkenobi’s Action Figures and Beer Photography

Hotkenobi is a photographer based in Osaka, Japan, who stages action figures and everyday objects, like beer cans, in some seriously cool and occasionally hilarious scenes. Have you ever wondered what the Hulk would look like punching through a giant can of malt beverage while preparing to hurdle another one at a bad guy? Look at Superman flying down to crush his can of Asahi in one fell swoop while Batman looks on in sheer amazement as he pounds away at his. You can practically hear the “snikt!” as you look at wolverine lunging towards the top of the bottle of Budweiser that Spider-Man just watched him open. Those types of situations are where Hotkenobi’s work truly shines, because there’s just something about the compositions and situations he creates that allows you to suspend disbelief long enough to feel like you’re there with the subjects.
