Our Featured Photographer for June 2025 is Karina Luvly
Annica wants you to meet her!... The Doll: SEDoll 163cm Silicon Pro Annica which I received in October 2024 The head and body are soft silicone and Annica has a movable jaw. I particularly like the bright and beautiful makeup, although hard silicon heads can carry more detail, the makeup and structure of the soft silicone head ticks the boxes for me. Favourite doll is a big call, poor Karina my first doll has met her match here with Annica. The Shoot: Preparing for the shoot I was nervous about what to do, decisions about content the outfit and poses was difficult. At least I had the subject chosen. First I collected some photos of models doing poses. I already had Annica wearing a tight denim skirt which I originally spent much effort squeezing onto her. I like the skirt so it stayed being paired with a favourite yellow bikini top. Trying to copy the first pose from the examples did not work. I could not get the elbow right etc so delete delete like so many photos lol. The bed became a problem to work around and I started wishing I could remove it. Enough complaints from me, truth is I really enjoyed the shoot. It’s like meditation to me taking photos of beautiful dolls. No pressure no rush time out to relax the mind. The Gear: I used a Canon EOS 7D with a 24-70 lens. The light was from some windows and a Godox flash 1/16th power in a softbox. Editing was done in Lightroom. I enjoy being able to separately edit the subject or the background. Annica |
