Doll Photography Tip #6: Believable Surroundings for #PicturePerfect #DollPhotography

Where do you take photos of your doll? Is it indoors? Outdoors? In a studio? On the kitchen table?

In this video, we’ll compare shots of dolls that lack that believability factor. Some additional things to think about when creating a … Continue reading Doll Photography Tip #6: Believable Surroundings for #PicturePerfect #DollPhotography

Here we see a Mattel Skipper doll looking to her right. She is posed with arms slightly extended. She wears a handmade set of under garments or possibly a swimsuit. The bra is a sporty sports bra style garment with white cotton jersey fabric for the top half of the sports bra and blue elastic for the bottom half of the sports bra. The straps are made of the same turquoise blue elastic as the bottom half of the sports bra. The underpants (or swimsuit bottoms) are made of white cotton jersey fabric with the same turquoise blue elastic waistband that we see in the straps and bottom half of the sports bra. The underpants elastic just barely covers the doll's belly button. These would be considered briefs in terms of under clothing styles.

Doll Photography Tip #5: Shoot Dolls in Motion #DollPhotography #FabricLove

A lot of you know that between times when I’m creating free patterns and YouTube tutorials, I’m also filming a stop-motion version of Romeo and Juliet with dolls. In filming stop-motion, I’ve come to realize that certain doll poses are more active than others. For example, look at the Ever After High doll in the photo above.

Doll Photography Tip #4 @ ChellyWood.com: Perspective #DollCollector #Dolls

What makes a doll look human-sized? That’s what I mean by “perspective” in this doll photography video. Whether you’re in a studio or outdoors, one of the best things you can do to make the doll seem larger is to get down on the ground and take photos from the doll’s eye-level (or even below the doll’s level). Another trick is to bring the doll … Continue reading Doll Photography Tip #4 @ ChellyWood.com: Perspective #DollCollector #Dolls
