New doll owner here. You guys have any tips on photography and getting poses to look more natural? Tried taking some pics the other day and this is the only one that turned out good enough for me to want to post after cleaning it up a bit in Photoshop.

>>17514677
There are pose books geared at photographers that might help. Beyond that it's a matter of practice: Try a couple poses. Take a few pictures from different angles of each. Look that them in the computer, find what you don't like, and take more pictures. Work to eliminate including the things you don't like in photos and you'll have more keepers. There may be people who are naturals at composition, but for the rest of us we just have to workshop it.

>> No.17516110

>>17514677
>>17515332
Also look at photos of people and try to replicate poses. If you can't find any then try them yourself and see if it feels natural, if it doesn't chances are that it won't look natural either.

That too, there's no harm in copying poses, or making attempts at it.

>>17516281
If I had to guess the doll was underexposed while the camera compensated for the bright sky. Attempts to fix the exposure blew out the sky and you can see it bleed over the top of her head.

>>17514677
Look into a collapsible reflector disc, https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=reflector+disc Without the disc pic related would look similar to yours but as you can see it makes a world of difference.

Practice composition by actually visualizing it with your hands or using your viewfinder. What looks good in person from your eyes might not look good captured in a photo frame.
It doesn't take a pro to tell if a composition sucks (we judge doll pictures all the time when you're going through flickrs/instagrams/twitters), so you can easily critique and adjust yourself on the fly.

If it helps any. I've been in the hobby about a year and a few months. My photoshoots typically last for about 2 hours, and I take upwards of 70 photos at a time. Of that, I typically crop and get 4ch ready about 10 on a good day. Just practice and stick with it as others have said. Ganbatte. Here's my girl, Toromi. Try not to look at those super duper cute pictures of girls too much as well. Good reference points for final project completion, bad for beginner expectations., I tended to judge myself and where I was with those too hard, wondering why my girl doesn't look like that, and truth is those doods have probably been in the hobby for a number of years. Just relax and enjoy as it comes to you. Exchange emails here as well, a certain someone from Australia got me going quite a bit as well. It'll be ok, she'll look great one day.

Does anyone know how to remove smoke smell or am I fucked.

You can stuff her in a bag of dryer sheets or charcoal.

I'm rehashing information from Archangeli's How to deodorize a stinky doll video, so ignore my post and watch that if you prefer a long-winded video.

first disassemble the doll, and take the skeleton out of the vinyl parts if you can. mix a paste of baking soda + water, slap it on everywhere you can including the insides, then stick them in a tupperware, covered bowl, ziploc bag or something for a while. You can't use too much, so you can sprinkle some more baking soda on after using the paste. Wash it all off, check it and reapply if necessary every few days. You can leave it for longer without any harm, though. I guess you would need your friends to smell it for you.

I think it goes without saying but you should probably exclude the head from this treatment, since baking soda is abrasive.

I don't really know anything doll-specific for deodorising clothes.

Charcoal is a legitimate solution for odor removal. You're not supposed to bury the item in charcoal, just let the item gas off in a closed container with it. its porous nature will take everything that makes an odor and transfer into it.

Now, that being said, most stinky items will gas off with a half life, the charcoal in a closed container just speeds up the process.

>> No.17572358

>>17570150
Look into twin pines products. Unless you're cleaning off something acidic the baking soda is otherwise inert, is not much more than an abrasive, and is the equivalent of washing something by letting mud dry on it and hoping the odor leaves with the mud when you wash it off.

Coffee grounds, not just coffee. It would only work on organic smells though (i.e. something rotten in your fridge). Charcoal/those odor removal thingies they sell at sports stores would work better with smoke I think.
As for clothes, you can put everything (except her fluffy velvet coat) in a lingerie mesh bag and wash in cold water in washing machine. I guess you can spritz the coat with vinegar solution and air it?

Just make sure to remember those of us on the complete opposite end of the smell sensitivity scale as you. Good luck on selling your girl, by the way!

I used to be into photography when I was in high school but it was mostly landscape and nature photos that I took so stuff like this is fairly new to me.

I wonder if Volks considered selling these dolls with basic clothes (or even just a slip) like a standard model) and the full set like a limited edition. Most of us don't use the default outfits for very long, if at all and they largely go to waste. They can limit the full sets for collectors and even mark them up, and for "standard" releases, the money not spent on elaborate accessories can go towards making more dolls. They can really increase their bottom line that way.

I feel like I've ran out of ideas on interesting photos and I already tried the local doll meet up scene. It's usually the same people and most of the time they just park their dolls on a table and go off to gloat about their dolls or random stuff.

If you have limited free time you could mix-and-match available outfits/wigs/eyes to freshen them up. With a bit more time to spare try building props and accessories or other related DIY.
You can also go out with them for some more adventurous photo-shoots if the weather plays along.

I've gotten my best friend into the hobby a couple of months ago and we recently got into sending messages/pictures as though the dolls we're sending them, if that makes any sense.

The pictures look great, but she could really use a new wig. It looks almost like it's floating off her head.

I can see what you mean by that and I think it's more my inexperience with wig styling than the wig itself. I have her sitting next to me now and it looks much more natural. Just another thing that I need to work on, making sure it's sitting on her head correctly and looks ok before I start snapping pics.

Volks wigs are often bad (coarse strands and glossy) so I don't have high hopes.

This. Even worse is if the wig has a sewn on bun or braid and there's loose strands you can't put back in. I'm still searching for the perfect replacement Saber wig.

i could see it if hes talking about just new customers just due to the fact its been pushed on the normies like crazy.

also, this article pisses me off cuz i was excited about his dolls due to the fact he claimed he would create the first personal assistant dolls. of which i cannot wait for someone to create. but yes, this is him saying they have all but dropped the project entirely cuz apparently people have incredibly unrealistic views of how androids would work in the real world. no danny, i do not expect to be able to replace her arms by just snapping them off.

tfw i wont have my mini android waifu anytime soon

i enjoy them because i feel like they bring me closer to the anime worlds i love. i get a lot of odd reactions from it cuz i am a straight dude that builds cars, owns guns, loves sports and women, but people think its odd that im also a huge anime and comic geek who collects anime/comic figurines and "dolls."
its just a hobby ive grown to enjoy, a best friend got me into the hobby when i met her as she owned one and i was hooked from then on. theyre adorable and fun to take to anime conventions. even my local comic shops love seeing them brought in.

^this. i dont feel its any different than buying figurines. but many people have certain things they believe should be a certain way or that "childish things" should be gotten rid of. honostly, i dont mind people feeling that way, cuz there are things i dont care for myself, but i live how i wanna and i dont really bother others unless they are clearly doing something to harm another.

He doesn't know what he's doing. He's just shoehorning tech into it arbitrarily.
