BW photos?

Dec 21, 2005

    1. I am having the worst trouble taking pics of my Sharmin Nightmare. Her skin is white as can be. And the pics always look AWFUL! Anyone have any tips on taking pics of dolls that are BW? Best lighting? ect..
       
    2. One tip is to put something orange over the light you're using, be careful though! You don't want to set anything on fire! I use an orange scarf but I'm very careful to make sure that it's far away enough from the light.

      It helps the skin to look more... skintone color. If you want the skin to still look white all I can suggest is to fool with the light until it's just perfect ^.^; Just make sure that the lighting isn't too bright.

      But I have two boys who are quite light (AR Glow in the Dark, and DoC Si) and although their skin isn't white they're still very pale.

      Try using a desklamp with a bendable neck for a light, it helps so much for getting the lighting just perfect!

    4. Kristyn, you might want to edit your title to say "Beauty White" as I clicked on this thinking you meant to ask about "black/white" pics. LOL! ;)
