Hello ~ Today it was unseasonably warm outside, but naturally I was feeling lazy and didn't want to venture out with dolls and equipment for taking photos, eheheh. I told myself that I would take some photos today, so to check that off my list I opted for a small photoshoot indoors. 

I have always been very unsatisfied with my indoor photography. I don't really know why I have such a hard time with it. I need a lot of practice, for sure. 

The subject of this shoot was Lucy, my Pullip Regeneration Paja. I had her listed for sale at one point, but I've decided to keep her. I love her in her dino pajamas too much to part with her. 😊 I have realized the problem between my dolls and I and why I eventually give up and try to sell them. I buy dolls I am attracted to because of their stock look. Maybe there is one or two things I want to change about them, but overall it's their factory look that I am initially drawn to. For some reason, once I get a doll, I try and change everything about them. I realized this when I took this girl out and replaced her original eyechips. I love the look of them so much, but for some reason I changed her look completely upon her arrival. Once I put her back into her stock outfit, I realized I should try and stick to what I liked in the first place.

Talking about these photos- they seem very different than what I have been working on recently. I've noticed my photography has taken on a rather dark look. This is partly because of how dreary everything has been lately, but also because I really enjoy dark, rich colors. It's interesting to take a lighter turn again, but it also reminds me another thing I am not a fan of when it comes to indoor photography. My lighting situation is so hard to work with. I have two photography lamps, but only one is currently working which makes photographing in a well balanced and lit area is difficult. It makes manipulating lighting a challenge for me.

Well, I believe that is it for this shoot. It was nice to photograph a girl I hadn't seen in a while and a good learning experience when it comes to working with indoor lighting issues. I hope you enjoy these photos 💚😊
