Brie in "Yours, All Year Long" - New Years 2018 Photoset
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2018 11:02 am
I previously stated that I did not want to do another Christmas photoset, having done one already in 2016. Always seeking something different, Brie and I went for a New Years celebration theme this time. We hope you enjoy it and hope that the rest of your 2018 be just as bright.
The entire 62 image set can be viewed at The Doll Album.
To introduce her to new fans, Brie is a WMDolls 165K TPE doll with WM #74 head in natural skintone with blue eyes and long, light blonde hair. Check my signature line below to find out more about her or if you want to see our earlier photoshoots.
Most of Brie's outfit and all our props all came from Party City. Her shawl and panties which were purchased from Amazon, and her glasses which are basic readers found at a local discount store. The bracelet trio is something I found at my local Belk store on Black Friday, when they have jewelry like this for 70% off. Brie wears Kleancolor Madly Matte lipsticks, and we opted for one of her favorites, #13 Dragon Fruit, again for this set. Her areolae were also touched up with #7 Apricot prior to starting. VonRubber's Teeth&Tongue set was utilized in many photos of the set as well.
With such a black-heavy outfit I was worried about staining but really didn't have any problems except for the feather boa, which blackened her hands pretty well but was easily wiped off. It also explains why the boa disappears early in the set - I was going to bring it back after the shawl was dropped but thought better of it. I've never worked in black before so I'm pleased how this turned out.
Given previous lighting difficulties photographing indoors, this was my first attempt at using my new softbox lighting kit, which really helped give even lighting and reduce shadows - except where I wanted them, like in her cleavage. Thanks go out to the more experienced photographers who responded to my PMs and helped me settle on this size of kit. I maybe could have gone for one size smaller though.
I don't recommend throwing confetti on your doll. I wanted the shot, but it was a terrible effort to clean up, and I'm still finding pieces around the house over a week later. I though the bag had only large pieces but most were very tiny and I had to carefully use the vacuum to suck them up off of Brie's skin and my floor, and comb them out of her hair. So just enjoy my photo and don't try to replicate it.
Feel free to ask me or Brie any questions or leave any comments, including constructive criticism. And Happy New Year!
