Next to posting pictures of figures what I still do from time to time, I sometimes choose another subject for photography, BJD’s. I really like the challenge behind it, it’s always giving me a hard time to pay attention to all the important factors, like posing, styling, backdrop, lighting and yeah the hair, the damn hair ahaha.
I actually think I made a little progress so far (I try not to remember the embarrassing beginning lol).
Of course I’m still not where I want to be, but I think soon I will be more confident in doll photography.
Today I will show you pictures of my favorite mature looking doll Chiyoda, *cough* I had these pictures ready since some weeks, but sorting and choosing the ones for this post took like forever.
Even though Chiyoda is an attractive DDdy girl, I really like to dress her in cute girly outfits, aren’t that nice earrings ^^ Of course I also like cute ribbons and such stuff.
Furthermore she is wearing the top from the Volks – Tenshi-no-Koromo – Lace-up Tops Set and the skirt from the Volks – Tenshi-no-Koromo – Sweet Knit Top Set.
Well, I think a garter belt is still something is very pretty
Taking full body shots of a standing doll is so difficult, it’s not really difficult to make them stand, but the problem for me is to get everything in the frame, it’s beyond me XD At least I can make a portray from a little far away :p
I hope you liked a few of my pictures today, see you

They are not bad photos. The poses were pretty good. But I think you had a problem with the lighting, if I figured out your tastes correctly. However, I agree that your newer pictures look better. They look more…dynamic, natural, better framed and…seem to tell little stories that you can interpret anyway you want to.
Yeah, I’d say you have improved…but I’m NOT an expert so I take what I say with a grain of salt.

Thx, was not that easy to get this underwear from the Japanese seller, so I’m a little proud of these neat clothes.
The third party doll clothes are as nice as they are hard to get, especially when you can’t be at the Japanese exhibitions.

Why don’t you order tailored made clothes for your dolls? You must still have small tailor shops in Germany, right? I mean tailors for humans haha. But they could still make miniature clothes. I have a few in my town, and most of the cities and towns in my country do too. I think it would be cheaper. And you could find the kinds of materials you would want.
Just a suggestion.

Yeah, that is a good idea, I will look into that maybe I can dig out some skilled person who would do the task.
