In reply to Tier.

Indeed it is fun, but I would only suggest to make such effort with figures you really like or the ones that deserve a better setting XD
I always try to put some effort into building these smaller things, but also not to invest too much time into it.
Even though some things had to be improvised, it is always interesting that a “messy” setup can turn out as convincing setup when the lens comes closer.

I think a lot before I put more elaborate setups like this into action, realizing certain difficulties before is better, at least the major parts should work ;D

Thank you, it has enough output for figure photography ^^
Yeah it fitted surprisingly well after I prevented her legs from sliding away.
Without wanting to sound conceited, I think the figure is more convincing in this setting than in her quarter cut bathtub.
A wooden barrel based tub like this would be a good and easy compromise between these things.

It’s always fun to build a special backdrop for a figure you really like. Okay, maybe it’s not; I’m not much of a diorama builder and that’s one reason why I don’t post as much as I used to. But it’s fun when the pictures turn out nicely, as they did here. It’s always funny how the pictures can turn out great and people say how much they like them, when the setup was really, really ghetto and the photographer spent a ton of time and effort trying to hide that. Though on the flipside, it’s and odd combination of satisfying and aggravating when you encounter one problem after another while trying to get everything set up and nobody knows how much of a hassle it was but you.

The fog machine worked out great! And her pose looks surprisingly natural sitting on a rock. I could hardly recall that she was standing in the bath tub before

In reply to Miette-chan. Thank you, I'm glad that it turned out like that and about the positive feedback all around. I thought it would be nice to mention how the things have been made and arranged, also my suffering ^o^, you are talking about this picture ? From afar it looks rather messy and unprofessional, but what counts is the outcome XD The figure is very fitting for this kind of setup, water in the house is somewhat limited, you can't splash around too much, obviously. I see, well I also rather focus on new ones, I see "a look back" as a way to feed my exploding creativity, when looking at my collection, I sometimes get an idea I want to try, it always takes more time and effort than a random review.

Oh man, this is great, I’m loving these pictures and set up. I love your description of how it was done, I should have saved that picture you posted some time ago so I could see it along side the description. Water and and figures is not something that really comes to mind to me for some reason, may be because I shot mostly indoors. If any figure besides the usual swimsuits fits a water themed set up I suppose this onsen Sonico does. Her wet hair really makes it seem like she is at an onsen.

A look at figures seems like a great plan, there are some figures I would love to reshoot with hopefully better ideas. Unluckily for me, a good deal of those figures got left behind at home. Which is good since rather than being stuck with old figures I already took pictures of I can shoot new ones.

Those photos looks great and it’s such a nice idea to create your own setting for the figures. Looking forward to other “A look back at” if they keep this quality. 😀
