I understood a little how to shoot good pictures.

How about this ebony girl picture?
Although it is a picture of a black girl that had many failures up to now,
Although the focus of the picture of the whole body does not match,
Focus failures could be reduced by making the camera closer to the face.
However, the roughness of the skin comes out.
I fixed it here in Photoshop.
Do you look like a real girl?

Yeah, much improved!

I think the problem with her looks sometimes is that there aren’t many blue eyed black girls with straight long blond hair! Of course there are some but most tend to have brown or black eyes and dark hair. I was surprised, however, when I found Ashaki suited some different wigs more than others and she often wears a cheap short silver wig as well as her human hair Afro wig.

She also has a more western look face as opposed to my Ashaki. I think what you may need is a curly blond wig maybe, a bit like my Vivette’s! Ashaki looked good in that too! That wig was very cheap too and is probably still on eBay! Many black girls have coloured their hair but often it remains curly!

Cheers, Hollows.

I agree with hollows+fentiman.

Google is a great resource for things like this.
I just did a Google search for "eye colours for black girls" and the majority of the images seem to be girls with brown eyes. However there are some with blue eyes.
If you also do a Google search for "hair colours for black girls" the vast majority of the results are various shades of brown, also dark reds too!
I think changing the eye and hair colours to brown would make a big difference.
Just do some Google searches to see how beautiful black girls style their hair and makeup.
Also while you're looking at the images on Google, try to work out how the photographer got the images.

As far as photography goes it's a lot harder than it looks.
I'm not an expert photographer but here are a few ideas and the kinds of things I like to do with my photography.

There are some really good photographers on TDF. I would take some time and go through their work.
Try to work out how they managed to get their images.
What is that extra "something" that makes the image stand out.

You may find it a bit easier to photograph your girls when they're wearing clothes first. I think nude photography is a lot more difficult to get right.
First off, try to make as much use of natural daylight as you can. Move your girls near to a window or open door, maybe sit them in a chair, or leaning against a wall or furniture.
Certain times of the day are better than others as the light and shadows will change, e.g. early morning light streaming though a window can be very atmospheric.
Try to arrange your girl and any props so they look natural, as a normal real girl would look.
Take a lot of photos by moving around your subject, get different angles, change your viewpoint, get low down, lie on the floor, don't just stand over your girls. etc.

Once you have a decent number of images, review them on a computer with a big screen.
Be VERY critical of your own work, find out what works and what doesn't work, what composition, angles, lighting, etc. are best.
You will find that 70% of the images you took are no good, 20% are okay, and maybe 10% are ones to keep and work on.

Another good exercise to try is to find an image of a girl you like - the internet is full of them!
Then try to replicate that image with your own girls and props.

I hope you find these useful, and I hope others will contribute with their own ideas.
Look forward to seeing your future images.

Thanks to your advice, the picture of Ebony Girl has improved.
She is 125 cm Teri, it is a white face, I made it a black skin color.
If her skin is white it will be this face.

I like blond girls with thin eyes blue eyes.
Ebony skin is more sexy

It’s funny but when I got Ashaki whenever I was out somewhere I looked at what Black ladies were wearing at first to get ideas myself! I even went up to one or two to ask them where they got their clothes from! However, I can now go into charity shops and just know what suits and what doesn’t! Find something the same colour as her skin and take it with you when you go shopping!

A lot of Black ladies wear white, purple and black but you need to find what suits her! You may also need to think about whether to colour her lips! Many Black ladies go for bright colours but I settled on a dark purple for Ashaki and it matches some of her clothes. I’ve also darkened her nipples to look more natural!

In the end, it’s down to your likes and preferences not ours! Ashaki didn’t suit any of her wigs that came with her so I got her a Brazilian human hair Afro wig and that was her immediately! However, when Vivette arrived they did a wig trying on session and had lots of giggles but I was surprised how well some others did actually suit her!

Many Black ladies who have black hair leave it very curly but some have very black straight hair (or slightly wavy). Those that dye their hair tend to go for blond or white, with some going for reds and purples. I’ve even seen lime green on one lady (not nice in my opinion!)! Straight hair on Ashaki doesn’t seem to suit her at all, whatever the colour (apart from her short silver hair) but curly hair does seem to be ok! Wigs can be very cheap to try so when you find one that seems to be better you can then look for a similar one of better quality. Believe me, it’s worth paying a little more for a good wig! Some members spend hundreds of dollars on good wigs!

Cheers, Hollows.

In Japan, black girls are hardly at stores.
But I will search ebony girl's fashion on the internet.
I'd also like to change the color of the lip of 125 cm Teri.
I have a lot of wigs.
But because it is a wig for Westerners,
I do not have a wig for ebony girl.
I like two color wigs

I like the blonde pictures in the last ones you posted.

In the first blonde one, she looks likes she's ready to go out dancing in a club.
In the last blonde one, she looks like she's just come back from dancing in a club, very sexy!!

Thanks for your comment
I like the last 2 color wigs the most.

hollows+fentiman · Post by **hollows+fentiman** » Tue Jul 17, 2018 5:06 pm

That 2w photo is very good! Well done!

I think what it shows though is that the wigs you have on your ladies need a bit more volume on the top of their heads! I found that with Vivette when I first got her. I think it’s something to do with the head shape not having much height above the eyes perhaps.

That’s why she now wears a curly wig which gives her head better dimensions!

Last year the two had some giggles changing wigs!

I think Ashaki does look good in some coloured wigs. This is just a very cheap supermarket Halloween wig!

So, in my opinion, very short wigs maybe ok but if you want long hair make sure there’s volume up top!

Cheers, Hollows.

Thank you for Ashaki's picture
Her curl's blonde hair is very cute
I like hair of two colors
Ashaki also suits red and black hair.
To make the head of the girl bigger,
I tried ways to put sponges under the wig earlier.
That method is good for the mannequin head, but it can not be used for TPE girls

How are you?

Thank you
Eye exchange is next time. please wait.

Today is shooting 135cm girl.
I got used to adjusting the focus of the camera.
Failure pictures are decreasing.
Shot so that her picture becomes an adult's face
Sexy pose that feels movement
Please look ahead only.
