April is here, and so is the hot weather. This month, I'm featuring Stacie, a Realdoll I bought many years ago.
For this outdoor photo I chose to film her in the late afternoon, about 2 hours from sundown - and the best time to get really good photos. Photographers call this the golden hour.
Stacie was dressed in a black latex monokini, which I tested for staining prior to her wearing it - all looked great! - Posing her was easy on the chair, as she has looser joints, and quite flexible.
For the standing shots in heels - these required a C-clamp looking metal rig that bolts into the upper back, and will hold her proper vertically, as it's adjusted for her CG. (I.e so she leans vertically and not angled) I then would edit out the rig in Photoshop using the contentaware removal tool.
Exposures were done with a Speedlight aimed upward and set for 32X power. This helped illuminate shadow areas, and speedlights are essential when going outdoors, and even for studio lighting.
The camera was set to full manual as I always do with settings adjusted for each picture as needed. In these shots, I had to angle the chair and Stacie so she was not in too much sun.
Here are four pics from the set. Smiling faces were done using Faceapp.
Enjoy
