I saw Fix.
I saw "New Camera"
I clicked.
Best decision I made all day.

Love the way her eyes jump out and grab you.
Beautiful.

Thanks justintime,
Although Seneca can be a bit stubborn at times (Redhead) She usually gives in and eventually poses the way I ask.

But how much editing is really going on?

Ive allways wanted to see side-by-side shots of edited and unedited dolls. That way i wont get my expectations too high and end up being disappointed with my first doll.

Hi WTTBA,
Don't worry... Be Happy, No need for sadness, As most anyone here on TDF will tell you... Your Doll will look even better live (in person) than in the photographs! Having that said, Seneca has been with me for over a year and her factory makeup has been long gone, so she's sporting aftermarket makeup and an aftermarket human hair wig. Also her factory nipple color faded pretty quickly so that needs periodic maintenance.
As for editing, All these gals are born with small manufacturing marks and seams. Because I aim for realism in my photos I do smooth these minor imperfections over, post production. If these photos were to be for commercial use I would skip that step, But they are just for visual enjoyment. I did remove Seneca's standing foot bolts and smoothed the holes for that particular shot as-well! Other than that she's pretty-much "what you see is what you get".
Hope this helps you.
Cheers.

Thanks oneatatime,
Well I guess I could say Seneca taught me lol. Her factory makeup was not doing well after a time so I learned out of necessity. Trial and a lot of error. Q-tips and baby oil are your friend! But I must give credit where it's due, Mishka1965 has this tutorial viewtopic.php?f=7&t=73837 I watched it closely. I also googled model makeup images and studied hundreds of different "looks" to see what was doable and what I liked. It is still very much a work in progress though.

The pictures of Seneca and Honey are very beautiful.
I'd also like to make such a picture.

Another great photo of your lovely Honey.

She's brightened up a rainy Saturday morning here in the UK, she's a ray of golden sunshine

Did you do anything special to get her to stand in heels? Mine won't stand in her heels...

Thank you ryuu2368ryuu,
Taking these pictures of my girls is a lot of fun. I hope you get to experience it too!

Haha Thanks djcdoll,
I hope this next one brightens up your Sunday. Honey is ready for some nice warm weather.

d011user wrote:Did you do anything special to get her to stand in heels? Mine won't stand in her heels...

Hi d011user,
Actually no...Her ankle bolts are still very tight. I'm guessing that's why she stands well in heels. Also I think there's a tutorial on standing dolls in heels somewhere here on TDF. Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Honey wanted to model her new swimsuit.

She's still waiting for the warm weather.

I completely missed this thread until now, so glad I clicked as I didn't pay attention to the author I was very surprised to find honey and Seneca here

Very pleasantly surprised

You capture their beauty excellently and enjoy your new full frame camera

My Sunday has been brightened up by lovely golden Honey.

Thanks Sofos,
I like all the new stuff on this camera but I'm still waiting for my good lens to be returned after a firmware update. Right now I'm using some older lenses and they are good but not as good as my newest one.

djcdoll,
Shall we try for Monday as-well?

This one might have to do for more than just one day as work gets crazy on weekdays.

Honey's new swimsuit has pretty easy access to her fun bits!

Another great photo of Honey. Love the way her head is tilted to one side.

A lovely shot of sweet Honey with the flowers in the background, you do pay incredible attention to every detail which pays off with such wonderful pictures. One thing I always try and get right is the finger positions, as we all know, our gals fingers can sometimes have a mind of their own but whenever I look at your work everything is just perfect. Admittedly you do some touch up afterwards but setting up a shot like that takes time to get right. One of my faults is that I sometimes rush things to get what I'm after, which in some cases can pay off but often means I've missed something but I have nothing but admiration for your work.
