Your best and worst doll photograph?

Dec 9, 2013

    1. Hi guys,

      I'm quite interested in seeing (in your opinion) your best and worst doll pictures, and why you like/dislike them. :)

      My best, because I think she looks so real! Souldoll Karin

      Cant post my worst as the quickly get deleted :)
       
    3. Oh man, my worst pictures are horrid. xD Day after I got my doll and I was just starting out.
      [​IMG]
      I used to love these but now I look back and I'm like, oh no. She had a horrible quality fur wig, and her "dress" was a handkerchief. xD

      In my opinion, this is my best picture I've done to date.
      [​IMG]
      I love how the colors turned out and the atmosphere and the shimmer in her eyes. Just, unf.
       
    4. I sadly don't have all that many photos of my dolls but...

      My favorite from this last week, mostly becuase you can see his deer tail sticking up:

      And my worse. I apparently forgot that flash is a thing that exist:

      Here's an old one. Shiny cardboard just does not work well as a background. The pose is unnatural too.

      [​IMG]

      Something recent. The lighting, background, outfit and props all came together well in this one, I think.
       
    6. My worst photo is deliberately bad. I entered it into DoA's 2009 Anniversary Worst Photo Contest. It's the only DoA contest I've won! I tried to include all the "bad doll photo" cliches.

      I always tend to think that my latest photo is my best and hopefully it is because that means I'm improving. Here's one of my latest.

    7. Unfortunately I haven't saved for a super awsome camera and the one I have is terrible my phone takes better pictures so that's wat I use and as you can imagine there's some bad ones[​IMG]
      So this is what I used to think a photo shoot was... bad!
      But resently I've bought lamps and actually tried to get the shot.[​IMG]
      Best one of my lovely couple but my favorite so far is this one of Elumi it speaks her character perfectly [​IMG] its nothing fancy lol

    8. This is probably one of the worse, the lighting and framing are terrible.

      This is one of my best at least of the same dolls, I have gotten a lot better at my posing.

    9. I think this the best i have so far
      [​IMG]
       
    10. I like to think that this is one of my best

      [​IMG]



      and this is my worst..

      [​IMG]

      I just don't like anything about this photo. There is no focus and Momo isn't looking at the camera.

    11. Ooh, this is fun! Here's my best and worst of Amiga so far...

      Best

    12. while not exactly my worst or best photos - there is so much worse to go from, but I've literally taken tens of thousands of photos throughout the years and the sheer contrast between these two is just incredible to me
      [​IMG]
      worst photo from December three years ago,
      [​IMG]
      good photo from this April
       
    13. [​IMG]
      Old pic is old.

      [​IMG]

      That's the same doll :)

    14. one of my better ones (I really don't have a best picture) but also one of my favourits:

      [​IMG]

      and one of the worse ones when i got into bjd hobby:

      [​IMG]
       
    15. Hmm.. xD Aha, okay, one of my worst -

      [​IMG]

      And one that I really love:

    16. My worst ... well ... one of my worst. The usual "my first ever BJD and my first time taking a picture of it!" photo.
      The lack of attention to background (or even blurring), the lack of focus on the subject (her face mostly), her pose, the lighting, her over all appearance. The whole pic just looks wrong XD
      [​IMG]

      And my best ... I always think that one of my latest uploads is the best. Sooo ...
      I think I did good in the focus and lighting and background and eye direction and all that stuff XP

    17. I always liked taking photos so I want to believe I'm not so bad at it XD but I'm not very good at it either because I don't have a proper camera and sometimes there's just something wrong...

      I like this one best because I managed to capture her eyes, I have since changed them to some yellow metallics that can capture the light without me doing anything special but I was pretty satisfied when I got this shot XD
      [​IMG]

      There are so many things wrong with this pic (and her being blank is not one of them): The dress is not her size, the wig isn't fitted properly, I had put her legs on backwards, the pose in unnatural, it was too late in the day and natural light was scarse casting a blue shadow... It was just a "My doll is almost complete let me show you" kind of shot XD
      [​IMG]
       
    18. Worst: One of the very first picture I took of my first doll back in 2008.
      [​IMG]

      Best: Happy to say I have improved over the years XD

    19. I haven't taken my best photograph yet. I have a lot of photos that are good, but I'm not sure when I'll take one that I consider my best.
       
    20. Oh! I so agree! But I have the is even more worse. My problem is that I do not like to be photographed. Photographer must feel the stuff, the light, the composition ... I think I do not have it. But thanks to your lovely photos I am learning and try.
       
    21. Woah I love comparison shots like this! It's so exciting to see how much people have evolved *-*

      So this may not be the worst photo I have since gosh I have so many bad ones! xD but it's pretty bad anyways, just look at all that random stuff in the background xd this was taken way back in 2008 when I first got into photography

      [​IMG]

      Aaaaand this one is one of my most favourite (I'm really into the spooky stuff). This one was taken just recently :) The one in 2008 was taken with a mobile phone camera and this one with a Canon Eos 1100D

      [​IMG]

      My favourite photo, I think I've improved. I'm still using my phone. doll plans are currently > camera plans

    23. I love the spooky effect.
       
    24. I usually don't even post my pics if i am not happy with them, but this old photo of my Xandor is pretty crapy xD

      [​IMG]
      And as for best. I don't have one that comes to mind as outstanding or anything ^^'
      But this is one of my current favorite photos of the same character (re-shelled him)

    26. [​IMG]IMG_2248 by toniagloomy, on Flickr

      I took this the other day...bit out of practice ^^; so not keen on it at all.

      But this one I took when I first got Guro, my favourite

      [​IMG]IMG_0855 by toniagloomy, on Flickr
       
    27. Worst, from the very first set of photos I took of my BJD
      [​IMG]
      Best, from a set I took in October. I really need to take more pictures of her, especially since I got her new eyes and eyelashes! D: But schoooooool
      [​IMG]
       
    28. wow, it's interesting how just a change of the background can make such a huge difference!
       
    29. Sackielc your re-shelled boy looks really handsome ^^
       
    30. The best doll photo I ever took of a doll was out back under the trees. Everything was perfect. Will try to find that photo. This thread reminds me I need to get back to more variety in my pictures. Enjoyed seeing these. Thanks
       
    31. This was taken back in 2007...
      [​IMG]

      And here's the latest one of the same doll. Yes, it's the same wig too!
      [​IMG]

      I haven't been practising over the years, but the new photos definitely looks better now. :sweat
       
    32. Haha oh gosh! This must be the picture that I don't like of all the ones I had taken so far. It's because she doesnt look right in this wig, that i bought for her from Nine9style.
      It's just to big for her, she looks a little funny. x'D

      [​IMG]

      To the picture i am most proud of myself taking is probably this one.
      I love how the roses are in the background and the colors. This brings me summer feelings! :daisy

      [​IMG]
       
    33. I don't have any of my worst photos, but one of my favourites is this one that i took of my Pukifee. I love it because i almost feel that i have caught him mid movement, and that he will move the moment after it is taken.
