Mike's Monsters is a colossal creative adventure, showcasing the creatures from my beloved films that ignited my passion for photography during my formative years featuring the terrifying Xenomorph from ALIEN, the trophy hunting PREDATOR, and King of the Monsters, Godzilla.

A combination of photography mastery, education, and entertainment. Join me on my YouTube channel, where I unravel occasional photography insights, review iconic monster media and collectibles, and showcase my evolving skills since 2006, starting all with toy photography.

My artistic journey extends to Hollywood's special effect houses, including collaborations with studioADI, leading to working with industry giants like Studio Ghibli & Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America. From 2022 to 2023, I proudly served as their Media Producer.

Mike's Monsters not only offers exclusive event experiences, from the world premiere of 'PREY' to the Hollywood premiere of TOHO's critically acclaimed 'Godzilla: Minus One' in 2023 but also invites you to explore my specialized Instagram, where I share the final photographic results of my productions.

My first subjects in front of the camera were the pieces in my collection. This passion project is a nostalgic nod to my childhood inspirations, allowing me to experiment with techniques on monster figures while seamlessly integrating them into my professional career.

Whoever wins… we lose. With all the buzz about a potential new ALIEN vs PREDATOR film in our future, I couldn’t resist creating my own version featuring the stars of their latest adventures. Here is my toy photography of @necaofficial’s Scorched Xenomorph from ALIEN ROMULUS and the Feral Predator from PREY.

XX121 XENOMORPH. Check out my review of the @necaofficial ALIEN ROMULUS Scorched Xenomorph figure and accessory set on my YouTube channel. Along with the review I take a few photos of the figure and sleeping Big Chap accessory. I think this may be one of the best Xenomorph figures NECA has put out in the ALIEN line. You’ll find the review on my Youtube channel with the link in my bio. This toy photo recreation of the scene where Scorched exits the cocoon was lit with @ulanzi_official lights along with @lumecube, with fog made by the Ulanzi Filmfog Ace. All done with practical effects. #necafanfoto @alienanthology #alienromulus #xenomorph #toyphotography @iamfedealvarez

One year ago today we attended the Hollywood red carpet premiere of #GodzillaMinusOne and it was a night I’ll never forget! The energy was incredible with so many friends and familiar faces at the event. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since Minus One was unleashed and took the world by storm!
