In reply to Larelle. Лара, спасибо! Очень рада, что тебе понравилось! А тоннеров да, надо почаще показывать. Я-то их вижу каждый день, они у меня все на виду стоят, но что-то на них шить или просто фотографировать их руки просто не доходят сейчас (даже на БЖД некогда, шью на заказ на кукол-детей).

Закулисная часть фотосессий выглядит не менее впечатляюще, чем конечный результат)))Оборудование такое солидное и обстоятельное. Приятно видеть кадры с тоннерами)))Особенно с королевским семейством

In reply to Sharon in Spain.

Sharon, thank you so much! I am glad you like it. I totally agree that taking photos of dolls in the open air / garden is tricky and is not always pleasing. When I take photos outdoors I always make sure it is in the shade, but not too shady because dolls loose sparkles in their eyes in the shade. Here I always take outdoor pictures at 8 am when the sun is not quite up yet (in Singapore the sun always rises at 7am and sets at 7pm) and the shade in the place I like for photographing is very light. In addition I use a small reflector to bring light to dolls’ eyes (I should really do another article on that!). Later that place becomes too sunny and totally unsuitable for photography. By the way, I find I don’t like most photographs I take while travelling because I cannot control the lighting conditions (it’s either too bright or too shady).
That background with a wall is one of my favourite, too!

It was lovely to get an insight into how you take your photos and set up your shots, I really enjoyed seening this post. I have to admit that I particularly liked your photos of the outside photos on your terrace, but I know that with a garden there is a lot of work involved with photographing dolls outside and they can be a bit hit and miss. My problem is usually too much sunlight (not that I’m complaining for myself, I love the sunlight!) but it can make photos either too bright or too shaded, depending on the angle and time of day. I do like your photograph backdrops though, I keep meaning to invest in some of those….I particularly like the one you’ve used with the 18 inch girls with the wall of a house in the background.
Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Chris Lucas. Chris, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I love this studio set, even though it usually takes quite some time to set up (and later tidy up) and therefore I don't take photos of just one doll / outfit. I have to wait for at least a few to make it worthwhile. If I desperately want to take photos of a particular outfit I simply go out and take pictures outside the front door, with a reflector in my other hand (if I can't find a second person to help me hold it!).

In reply to kuma. Марина, спасибо! Я сама люблю у других разглядывать фотографии рабочих процессов. Очень увлекательно. Белый фон никак не повернуть, тогда он низкий слишком будет. И вообще он очень плотный и прямо висеть не будет. Чего уж там, придется нормальный большой фон искать. Жалко, что они не вечные. Говорю же, этот фон куклы истоптали уже жутко!
