The Miki photos are already taken, just a matter of rotating and saving, before posting. I use a Canon Rebel EOS. It has auto rotate which works fine on my laptop, Google Photos, Instagram and Twitter. But for some reason, here on TDF, they post sideways unless I manually rotate and save each photo.
So I did a set yesterday just before going to bed. About ready to post another. Will do the others in the next couple of hours. Normally, would have just taken the best 12 out of 48 that I will be posting if it was going to be an artistic set. This is more of an informative set as I never really care for factory photos especially from a sitting position. Not very flattering for the dolls.
Almost 4 am, trying to decide if I want to do a sunrise shoot as I have not done any outdoor shoots for weeks and the rain will return by Monday. Maybe up to San Francisco. Should take Jane on the 163 to the Cable Car turntable station. The Cable car drivers would love it as most are African-american. The Jane head in brown tone can easily pass for a light complexion African-american, Caribbean, or Brazilian. The drivers have already seen two of my dolls, Anastasia and Anya from previous visits last year.
A bit hard to get the motivation to do on location shoots as it take a great effort to do these kind of photos without much more return on investment, as I can get about the same views, likes or comments with photos taken here at home. We shall see.
As for taking photos, most all are with the Canon. Zero editing, what you see here on TDF is untouched. On instagram, I will use the Hefe filter to give some contrast. Will use some Face App for smiles occasionally.
Thanks! Then you´re using a fairly good digi cam I think, more than appropiate for the purpose. Seen those odd sideway photo posts as well. Think it could have to with H-W ratio, or odd resolutions maybe.
You have quite some good taste for your Miki (and other) shootings, using interesting angles and more realistic lighting conditions than common studios. So just keep going!
Got to try that face app or comparable at a later time for sure. Found various freeware (or demo) stuff in the net, but I need it on PC.
cheers, Ragnar
I must double check my own 158D but think it was rather similar (tho due too tearing down their it's a bit more than a hole 
Thats the one good thing about having so many dolls, you can distribute the wear and tear over 15 dolls rather than just one doll.
