The Doll Forum

Like anything in life that we do Trevor just start out small and work your way up. Photography can be pretty complex or it can be simple. Stacy Leigh,one of the best photographers on TDF told me in person that she can take kick-ass pictures with a desk lamp and her iPhone. LOL,Thats because she is so good. There is much to learn so you don't want to overwhelm yourself and be out of pocket. The DSLR's are expensive and can go in to the thousands if you want to take "serious" pictures but are cheaper on eBay but not by alot. I was told to never buy a used camera on eBay because if someone dropped it you might be getting ripped off so if you go the more expensive route make sure it is new. Another thing to keep in mind is that the lenses are also very expensive.

I will admit that you can do better with the type of lamp I suggested but I use them because they are the one's that our Coverdoll photographer Incrediwagon uses and suggested me to use. He is very good with them whereas I am still learning how and where to place them so I have to use photoshop to get rid of shadows that I don't want. You can also use GIMP to get rid of shadows or other unwanted crap. GIMP has basic functions whereas photoshop has all the bells and whistles. GIMP is free:

I am not a professional photographer but I have received many great comments on my photos from many here at TDF including professional photographers. Also,Kharn one of the owners of TDF uses the same camera as me. Here is a shot of his Alektra:

This photo here is really nice. She is a very sexy doll. Hey that wig looks familiar:

Thanks janesays! I'm a big fan of Cover Doll so I really appreciate the compliment and the advice as well.

My, would you look at that body. Just plain scrumptious. Is this the Coffee Gelato skin tone?

how about saying it's a grandfather clock?
that would explain the size, shape and weight
of the crate...

The SEKO guy that delivered Sharon asked (I guess he hasn't delivered many packages marked "Abyss Creations" ). Anyway I didn't try to hide or falsify anything, I told him the truth.

"It's a Cylon."

Wow, Trevor! Again she looks fantastic. Classy as well. Can't wait to see what my new friend will look like as well. I suppose my order is in queue so I'm trying not
to think about it and let the days go by. Sure glad to see someone get their order though, thanks for the pics.

I am quite anxious to see your Hope as well. I am sure she will be flat-out gorgeous.
