March 2020 Featured Photographer

Meet Tatiana

When I was asked if I would be interested in being a "Featured Photographer" at "CoverDoll" I was completely shocked. At the time I had been a doll owner for a year and photos I posted at TDF never seemed to get much attention. A week after being asked, I agreed to do it, but for two weeks after that I considered backing down. I felt like I was in way over my head after looking at past "Featured Photographers". Obviously I ended up going through with it.

Now came the hard part. Deciding which doll to use, as I now had two, and to come up with a plan on were I would take the photos. The apartment I live in doesn't have what I would consider as nice backdrops for photos.

I decided to use my newest girl, Tatiana. She is a WM166C with head #266. I used two different wigs on her, both being WM wigs that I got with her, as they're my only options at the moment. Her eyes however are MF's EME's.

Equipment

The camera I used was a Nikon D7500. For the photos of Tatiana in the dress and the ones in the Bikini I used a Nikkor 35mm 1.8 lens. With some good light shinning in and the use of a tripod, it was all I needed. For the photos of her wearing the blue bra and panties I used a Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5-5.6 as my bedroom is to small to be able to use the 35mm with ease. I also used a Neewer 176 LED light with a soft box attached, plus I used the translucent part of a 80cm Neewer 5 in 1 reflector. The camera was set to Aperture Priority with the ISO at 100. The photos were taken in RAW and I used Nikon's Capture NX-D to process and edit them.

I want to thank CoverDoll for this opportunity. Although it was a daunting challenge for me, I think it made me better at photographing my girls.
