My photo shooting environment ain´t the best (or most suitable) and my gals have various "faults" and yet to be repaired damages. Thus I oftentimes use vignette, focus blurring and frames for blending unwanted stuff out somewhat. I already take this (post editing) into consideration when doing my shoots. But most my post editing is for improving those things that my cheap phone can´t capture. At more low light conditions quite in particular. I often need these for my preferred work with contours and shadows.Dreamlight wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 3:17 am Indeed, post work should not overwhelm the photo, but rather bring out the details or tone down some things that we don't need to see.

Re: Master Doll Photography & Special FX - Online Course - Early Bird Launch Special
interesting idea. But also heart breaking the same time.Dreamlight wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 6:41 am Yeah, I get that re damaged joins or other broken stuff. These wear down over time. My Zelex is already lose is one leg. Been sitting too much with crossed legs... lol At some point we'll just have to go with the flow and start taking photos of broken "droids" in a desert or something..!

Doll Art Club Update May 28 2023
Getting Creative With a Single Light Source - Part 1 - 16 min 49 sec - May 28 2023
If you have just a single light source, any light whatsoever, even a table light, you can get really creative by knowing how lighting works. In today's video we're taking a few creative and very cool examples in DAZ Studio, showcasing some methods you can apply directly to your doll photos. With Val Cameron from Dreamlight.
Gallery Feedback Video - 28 min 29 sec - May 28 2023
We're going through some of the photos in our doll gallery, and providing feedback on lighting, posing and other elements. We're also using either Photoshop or DAZ Studio to showcase specifically how some of the parts can be improved. With Val Cameron from Dreamlight.
This week, the video feedback is a little longer and more advanced. We're also showcasing some really cool tricks you can apply to your doll photos, and we're doing that inside the free 3D Art software DAZ Studio, as a direct answer to some of the questions regarding a bike photo in our gallery...
See you inside!

Dreamlight....
Thank you for the example bike photos.
I think because I have ridden dirt bike for years, the attack position is not too arch the back, but I see it more in the context with the nudity in your examples, but I get your comment.
I like the light of how you described in your example bike photo too. I am limited to doing something like this outdoors with trying to figure out lighting.
But yes your bike photos, lights and the model are super nice....
I have not downloaded videos yet, so will look at that next.

Probably just a continuation of the teaching lessons going on.Dreamlight wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 4:47 am So, guys, we've been online for some 4 weeks now, what do you think of the Doll Art Club so far? Your feedback is important in shaping the content of the club...
I think photo feedback on stuff I have done in the recent past can be useful because similar conditions may be present for future pics.
Maybe at some point, some request for specific content video.
That's what I can think of for now.
