About the Photographer

Supersoul's interest in photography began in his last two years of school when he studied it as a subject.   He also learned film processing, which lead to a 'Work Experience' job developing film at the local printing company, an apprenticeship in their photo-lithography dept and a 17 year career.

Soon after discovering the Doll Forum, and viewing member doll photos Supersoul noticed the Laila photo set by Stacey Leigh on the Realdoll website. This sealed his fate and he soon was the owner of a beautiful Body A he named Jade.

His shoots can span 2 days and he feels the time is well spent and reflected in his photos.

"For my photography I use a Canon EOS 600D with a 18-55mm and a 55-250mm lens. I also sometimes use the trusty old Nokia cell phone because sometimes the best camera is the one you have on you.

I am still building my Photographic hardware and my photographic skills and understanding, slowly but surely, in the mean time I have to do what Kiwis are renowned the world over for, improvise. For  example for additional lighting indoors I am using an old darkroom safe light with the red lens removed and baking paper added in place, this is ok for limited use as a soft box, better than nothing.

New Zealand has very harsh sunlight so I have learned from recent mistakes and have to be very careful using natural light down here."


His photo-lithography background has given him a good eye for colour correction, cleanup, and airbrushing out unwanted distractions such as carpet stains, dust, marks etc.  His final images are always accurately representative of the original, but cleaner, sharper and have a more professional look than the original.

Lots of practice, much trial and error and investing in better quality equipment, has all paid off for Supersoul...and for us too as we now have another great photographer of the month sharing a really great shoot.

Thanks Supersoul.

G'day everyone,...

I know I need to lift my game so I can do better because I know I can and have in the past with 35mm.

So this will be a good goal for me to reach for, and as a result my fellow members will benifit from a hight quality set from me.

My girlls are as always Perfect!

Playtime.

Playing with Dolls is a Joy!

WARNING: The Dolls are starting to play Back!

Very nice set of photos SuperSoul. I loved the circular bed detail you used to frame your Jade Summers. The bed itselt is perfect. So is the doll. The lighting seemed perfect too, just the right amount of illumination in all the right places.
