Many of you are wonderful photographers, but I want to see the first photograph you ever took of your doll. If you have more than one doll, please post the first picture you took of each of them. I'll start, so y'all can be glad you (hopefully) never sucked this bad. ... go on, don't be shy.
oohhh! omg mine is so weird! but i got him at like 11pm and I was so excited I never thought of finding my camera till I put him to bed xD I only had some bloomers from an old doll above my dresser so I shoved them on him
ops: I hated digital cameras. Had no idea how to use one. I still hate digital cameras, but hopefully I've gotten better.
First pic of Rowan once his head was on his body ^^; First pic of Fey: Bahaha, the poor sucker! *hugs Fey* I don't have the first pic I took of Damien! ^^;; One of my first pics of Julian:
Gah. Looking at my earliest pictures is quite embarassing. They were the first pictures I ever took with a digital camera, and it was borrowed from a friend of mine. ^^; Probably the first picture I took of Kin after I took the normal El head off and replaced it with his dreaming head, and it's crappy and blurry. This is probably the first picture I took of Xiyang Jin after I changed his eyes and put him in some clothes. Again, horribly blurry. ^^; Fei, before I got his eyes or wig, but several months after the other boys, so thankfully, I had learned how to use a camera a little better. Rylen's first pictures were faceup-less, since he was an unfinished kit. And I actually set up a nice photoshoot for Jian Mei's first pictures. ^^; I'm soooooooooooooo glad I've improved my photography since I started back in August. ^_^
I had a really bad disposible camera with a really high flash. Then I tried to darken it in photoshop. This is the result.
I totally forgot which one was the first picture, because instead of taking "box-opening" pictures, I wanted Nemian dressed and looking snazzy first. XD But this is definitely one of the first. I this one being the first few taken after dressing him.
Of my Damien (Dollmore Aidan) taken with my mobile phone: And Samael with his bottle of Baileys (Dollmore Amos), bad lightening x_x :
Jeremiah Blue... my first... and her first photo. I didn't take "box opening" photos of her. She looks so different to me now! These eyes were too small and she didn't have eyelashes yet.
The first pic where fraud is seen... hahahahahaha The first pic after Cianshir followed me home. I think I had him in the background in some old pics when he was still in the shop, I just can't seem to find them ;_;" I knew I have him in some old photos somewhere... why are my first pics of them both... can't see face one...
I don't know where the pictures I took of the box opening went, but I do have a picture of Michiko after I took her out of the box and went around the house posing her ^_^ That was with a bad camera that used film, now I have a digital camera ^_^ That was also when Michiko had her original faceup and eyelashes xD
Frankie when she first arrived. That would be me laughing at her in the grey shirt. post face up. There are a slew of others, but I found these to be humorous!
Ryo, When he arrived to me more then a year ago.... He only had that face-up for a few mintues. (just long enough to take the picture) Then it was wiped off. ops: The pic was blurry, I haven't learned how to use a digital camra yet.
I apparently deleted the first picture before it ever made it off the camera, but here's Lucky Number Two!
I have too many to do all, but here's my ones I've had over a year October 2003, Mali: January 2004, Tiernan: September 2004, Dominique (Nikki): January 2005, Anya: March 2005, Sitara: March 2005, Sana: None of 'em look like that anymore, haha.
Hee hee, this is fun... Here's Bu way back when with his first face-up and still no hair. XD One of his first pics with hair. XD a few months later. Tobi's first pic. Mancha and Bella's first pics. They belong to my friend, but I took the photos. And my sweet Gutterbear's earliest pics. I'll have to add more once I finally get my new Breakaway's pictures all set.
first pic out of his wrapping (otherwise it would just be box opening shots XD) annnnd my first picture of him with clothes SOMEWHAT on ^_^;
Very first doll, very first day. Didn't do the box opening photo routine with her ... I just couldn't wait to get in and hold her. After I finished smothering her with awe, I covered her with a dressing gown, gave her a cup of tea (it's own food group and profoundly restorative), then started snapping. I think this is the first. Lisa
Here's the first picture of him I ever took with a digital camera (looking for ones taken with a disposeable camera at the moment). I was too excited to remember to take box opening shots. thats when I learned that flash+dollie=suckish photo.
yeah... My first arrival for my girl... .. her nude pics...XDD... she gonna hate me.. XDD haha.. I love arrival pics..
Baba Yaga, Unoa Lusis (unpainted), Oct 05. Notice the audacious angle and the carefuly-chosen props - a Nintendo card deck and a, err, box.
This wasn't the first picture of Lylan EVER, because she was at Vanah's and sent off to get her faceup done before she was sent to me, but here's the first photo I myself took of her:
Great thread! Here's my very first doll CH Sia (and one of the first pics I took). I was AMAZED by her size when I opened the box. She's still my favorite doll. Dena
This is technically NOT the first pic of my girl, just the first after I got all the bubble wrap off (I still get a shiver remembering the moment) She's all attitude with her 'can I have some hair? NOW?' look. Little does she know in this pic what's next. Since I got her second-hand she came clothed and, well, I had to check out the body blushing, right??
I can totally relate to the bubblewrap removal/shiver! Here's my Rei in box as he arrived from an ebay seller. Even though I don't think his top and wig suit him (they were off seconds later!) I love that he just looks so cute and bewildered...like 'uhhh, where am I?' I can't believe this is actually just over a month ago... I've taken sooo many photos of him to spam DoA with since then!
Nevan's horrorful first pic XDDDDDDDDD Ikuko's first pic, with my old Nevan: Akito's first pic, made with my cell phone ¬¬U: Poor Mikkan!! Her first pic was with Akito U_U: My new Nevan's first shoot: And Himmel's first pic: 4 of my 5-6 dolls were body-less XDDDDD
First pictures by me were for a photoshoot here on DoA called 'Irresistible Offers'. Since I had no camera at that time I had to borrow Raouken's. Raouken was also the one that photoshopped the pictures: And another one; I liked the colouring at that time, especially as I didn't use any photoshop in this picture. But... the wig... the WIG.... what was I thinking... And one of the first pics I took for Zana (I do no longer have the actual first) and this time I had my own camera:
This is my first pic of Iris... >_< So bad.... That's my first-ever attempt at a faceup, and I had no clue how to do lighting on doll photos so I used a flash. =P
Technically not the first, but the first is so blurry you can't tell what it is, because I dropped my camera just as it took the picture so that I could grab the doll, who started to fall toward me. So, first visable picture.
I'm skipping the doll-mummy pictures I have of James and Lyra (as those are technically the first but you really can't see much), so I have their just-released-from-bubblewrap-bald-shots. James- Lyra- Hinako- I was trying to show her posing abilities... XD Flash of DOOM! (Ignore the black stuff behind her- I was blotting out some background stuff *coughbadpicturesofmecough*) Echo-
Hehehe, Lisi was SO shy when I first got her home... XD And ZOMG flash. First halfway decent picture I ever took of her... totally wrong wig and outfit for her character lol. Someday I WILL get her the brown hair she needs.
haha, this is great and really humbling haha Suke's and Lupita's first photos were together.... and were soooo blue. I still don't know why... haha Suke First face-up ftw! haha, oh my goodness... Lupita Second face-up of awesome... thank goodness i've improved haha Poor Clementine's first
First pic of liliane my bianka First picture of my mirielle Volks Souseiseki First pic of my Volks Luna alessa first pic of sarang my yo-sd sara Liliane and Mireille are sold now ><
This is from D's box opening. I had just gotten him completely unwrapped. And yes, I do indeed look like a freak. Just ignore it. And then the second, not posted in the box opening, that shows a little less of me and a lot more of him. Posting it since its the first one of just him alone. Its pretty awkward on a few different levels xD And blurry. It makes me giggle though. He be embarrassed now :3 And looks like he wants to kill me for showing that
Ooh nostalgic fun! Here's my first pic of Elle (v1.0) Tsukasa: Symphany didn't get a solo shot LMAO (she gets so many now, so it evens it out): Elle also got revamped but she didn't get a box opening for her head, here is Elle (v2.0)'s first shot:
Kira's first Photo! X.X taken in my arms in a restaurant the night I bought him. Sexy!up the nose shot. >< Happily, I took him home the next day and got these much much better ones! XD
First picture I ever took of Hikari (This was three days after her arrival, Luts had sent me the wrong doll so I never did a box opening until I decided to keep her.) I dressed her for the occasion. First Picture I ever took of Kitomi. Her box opening. Meredith's box opening. All covered up. Griffin's arrival. I took some of him in his wrapper, this is the first picture out of the box.
XD this is going to be horrible. I never used the camera before, I was like 0__0 what the... why is it so blurry. The first picture I ever took of a doll. And it also was my first doll. :') Darn, Emily looks like an alien in here! The first picture of Sakura. X"D Noo... horrible........
I seem to have deleted my box opening photos, but this was one of my first photos of Nero, taken the day I got him. XD
i skipped over taking pictures of Luel's box opening because i was too excited ^^; so here he is after i got his wig on 8D Vestige wrapped in bubble wrap 8] and his gorgeous face after removing the covers Leilah-Marie didn't get a box opening either... ^^;
It's not the first, but my camera deleted almost all of my box opening pictures. In two months and three different cameras, I've learned a LOT of things. xD (Oh- and it's of Oliver with Kiyoshi, Aisu's doll) That is when I learned never to use flash, and to actually brush wigs... and uh... reposition eyes... but hey- I got him to stand on carpet. xD (And just to make me feel better about myself, here's a miniature version of the most recent photo I took of him xD)
This is my Mathonwy. He's a DIM Torudoll Karon, and this is his first picture wearing both a wig and eyes. The eyes are "sunflower" color, and the wig is the random freebie he came with. I just put it on him to get him to make that "I will Kill you in your sleep" face he's giving me right there.
This picture contains the following: up the nose, bad flash, bad late-night room lighting, all taken with my mother's ancient point and shoot. Avert your eyes!
While not the very first, this is probably one of the only pictures that were not lost years ago when my old laptop had a bipolar meltdown. It makes me feel regretful because I no longer have my first box opening pics anymore. :/ Taken with a phone cam.
Hmm this might actually be hard to find the photos! *giggles* Their probably amongst the thousands of photos in my photobucket. <.< >.> Sirena on my terrible webcam the day she got there. Dad had helped me open her so I missed out on opening shots! Gavin (I was to excited for box opening photos) Lore WOOT I actually had a box opening of sorts! Absinthe my then faceupless boy Trivial her wig had been left out of the order so she was bald at first
I never did a box opening for any of mine. Viviane, had no face up at the time Loki, threw together some clothes Rosalind I had her for like almost a whole day before I had time to do anything with her.
first picture of Adrian: First picture of Corrin: (the head in adrians lap) First of Beth, she is in the box: And her Fist I am out in the open picture And I now Have fran but her first photos are lost!
I no longer have the first pics of my first dolls but I do have the ones of my 3 latest arrivals. First we have Aeryth - DOT T. E-an's first pic: Next we have Dorie - CP Delf Lishe's first pic: and lastly is Kael - DOT H. Ducan's:
