I asked Laura if she had any suggestions to offer doll photography beginners and this is what she said:
"Spend lots of time looking at the doll pictures on Flickr, the doll boards and in magazines. After looking at hundreds of doll photos you will start to have a sense of what is possible, what you like and what has already been done. Pros like Terri [Thank you, Darlin'] will show you what a perfectly lit shot should look like as well as how to use a few props or many props to create an interesting composition. My second bit of advice would be to go ahead and experiment. Now that digital cameras have made each picture more or less "free" try every angle you can think of. Experiment, have fun and play with those dolls!"

@Laura: You are definitely the more enabling enabler. I deny everything.

Congrats Laura!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful image that you made.
In an odd case of "it's a small world", I have the traded Dania on my desk wearing a wonderful white gown from Terri and I think I'm not going to reroot her, but instead style her hair like TR, but with the nape in curls.....
it's a small world after all...
