Ball Joint Dolls

lastboltnut · 15th December 2008

Hi,

I went for a Doll shoot outing 2 weeks back at a few locations around SG. Forgive me if the pics are not of composition as I am not a portraiture shooter, tips and comments for improvements are welcome. But please do not refrain from commenting on the dolls as they are not mine. Thanks.

1. Cambodia Tour

2. It was cold in the deep of the night

3. CSI Investigation 1

4. CSI Investigation 2

5. CSI Investigation 3

You can watch a short "film" on the making of outing : )

New addition from The Doll Affair:

1. Head Hunting. Obviously, high key photography is very much appreciated at this year's The Doll Affair, 08. But some of which are pseudo high key, they are generally over-exposed to white...some are very nice though.

2. Mono. With a single eye, one looses depth but gain concentration. So he is a deadly accurate.

A few more to come as I didn't have time at the Affair, only about 4 pics...

An Elfish couple at the Affair.

BJD are so expensive...but I love those Lati dolls.
I can only afford to own Pullips and Blythes but those are usually customized with obitsu bodies to give them better poseability.
The dolls here look very intricate, almost life-like.

dynermite · 2nd January 2009

yeah i heard that its like 1K+ for a doll right? or something like that. haha. lens over dolls anytime for me man.

the dolls look incredible.

lastboltnut · 2nd January 2009

I am sure Mikan will be happy to hear praises about her dolls.
