(Not Quite) Third Day of Shooting

Sep 04, 2010 01:38

This isn't quite a phototshoot, per say - it's more of a test to explore posing possiblities and concept development.

Enjoy~

Mm, all of the pics look good! <3

I can't wait to see what else you're going to do~

Haha, thanks~ I love Elis' waterfall of straight blonde hair. XD

Hint: Dreamy fairytale.

KYAAAAAA!!! Your photography is damn good. How do you get such lighting?! :OOO

I think I'm starting to fall in love with the wig you put on Sophie. <333 Lëor looks good with the purple eyes! KYAAAAAAA~ So sweet and cute~ The headdress is definitely her thing! (LOL Poor Fëor and Dëor.) Elis looks elegant, like a queen. :D (Beautiful dress!)

LOL the "family photo" is so cute!! Reiko and Lëor look sweet and loving together (*pats Lëor too*). (I send my regards to my girls~) (Whatever will your mum say if she finds out about this mini congregation of dollies? XD Hope they haven't been scaring her. XDD)

I like how Reiko's dress is classified as "Miroir (private collection)". XD

In the last photo, I think Lëor is thinking something to the likes of "Oops, candid photograph! :O" xD I see that she's wearing Fëor's wiggy too~ Her sister must be right mad at her. XD

Most of the photos are taken late evening or at night, and using the (dreaded) flash. XD I use flash almost everywhere though, even outdoors, so I can bring out the colour of their eyes. I tilt the hotshoe-mounted flash to the side, so when it flashes their faces are sidelit to reduce harsh shadows. The light is further softened by reducing the flash intensity and a softbox over it (y'know, the white cap?). I also try to position the dolls such that the light hits them at a nice angle - this takes trail and error.

Sophie looks good with curls framing her face! <3 But that wig falls off at the slightest touch (it fell off at least ten times during the shoot...) since it's technically resting on her ears. =A= The fringe can reach her chin if I let it sit normally. Elis is a queen in her story!

The girls accept your regards lovingly, heh. Methinks they miss Yuuhi and Ichigo. I put Toby beside them too, but he looks quite odd beside them! >_< My mom doesn't go into my room, so I'm not sure if she knows. My dad likes to watch ( ... )

I dread using flash as well, but we use it all the time too, because that's the only way to not make the picture look very dark... But our camera's flash is very strong. >.< (LOL so we use tissue paper as the softbox!) I think I need to fold the tissue paper over more times to make the lighting less harsh, and more dreamlike and soft, like yours. *takes out notebook and scribbles Rene's wise words down* XD ( ... )

Hah, I'll post a diagram of the setup to be clearer.

Yup. It fits Reiko, but the colour in real life doesn't suit her.

I'm glad my parents leave my stuff alone (well, most of the time, anyway). My mum did ask why there were so many wigs lying around the house! >_<

Hahahaha, a new acronym~

I took away her fist hand, so she can't do it anymore. :DDDDDDDD
