About Dadnology
Work with us
Dadnology is a tech, gaming and LEGO site for dads, written by a dad who photographs and films everything he reviews himself. If you make something that belongs on our shelf, in our studio or under our TV, we would like to hear about it.
What we make
- Hands-on reviews of LEGO sets, toys, camera and lighting gear, family tech, games, movies and books, with our own photos and a rating from 0 to 5.
- LEGO and toy photography from our own studio: a slag stage, fog, cross-lighting and accent lights. See the studio setup and the gear we use.
- Behind-the-scenes videos and Shorts on YouTube, showing how a set is staged, lit and filmed.
- Instagram carousels and the weekly Dadnology newsletter.
What fits
LEGO sets and accessories, LEGO lighting, toy photography gear (continuous lights, spotlights, RGB tubes, fog and haze machines, tripods and heads), cameras and lenses, and tech that makes family life easier. We cover products that are available in the US, because that is where most of our readers are.
How we work with brands
- The verdict is ours. We review what we actually use, and the rating is not negotiable. A review without a weak point does not leave this site.
- Disclosure, always. If a brand provides a product or supports us in any way, the article says so at the top, in plain words. Details are in how we review.
- Real photos only. Every image of a product we review is our own photo or video. We never use AI-generated images.
- Affiliate links stay separate. We earn from some links on this site, but a link never decides what we write.

The best overview is our LEGO toy photography studio setup: the stage, the cross-lighting, the fog and the cameras behind every photo on this site.
How a shoot like this comes together, from the empty stage to the final frame, is in our behind-the-scenes video on YouTube:
