This is what I experienced too! Changes in angles and lighting makes my doll almost alive.

This picture of Penny was taken going on 2 years ago now, this was taken before we started clean up on a horrible accident in a previous surgery.

I saw her in a different thread. I forgot which one. She is pretty.

I'll post some of my own a bit later. I really dislike the current trend of AI/FaceApp photos.

Thank you, here is Penny a little more recently too
She had just opened up a box of gifts our friend Jantra had surprised us with.
I think working with the more genuine moments we experience with our dolls can play out a lot into creating a natural expression in photo

Sometimes I was confused by FaceApp photos too, especially when it is of a doll face new to me. A few times I got impressed and excited by a few photos, only to realize disappointedly later that the actual doll face is with a completely different expression.

I am now quite happy with what I have, and am not actively shopping for a new doll. So seeing a FaceApp altered photo does not bother me as much as it used to be.

Some really great photos there. Goes to show how much changing the position of the eyes makes a difference to a pic. Especially with the right lighting and perspective.

A good thread. I also am not a fan of faceapp. Thanks for sharing.

Earlier this year I got hold of a set of teeth and tongues from The Doll Laboratory and was quite impressed with the different facial expressions I could achieve with Suki here. While they tend to work best with heads that don't have any teeth it's possible to use them with those that do although you may need to trim the existing 'teeth' for best results. Still the set can be a nice alternative to software like FaceApp.

It is very nice that Suki's tongue can extend this much. Mine cannot do that.

True. Eyes can talk.

Eyes,lighting,or a slight change of angle can really make a difference

Wow, great pictures, guys!
This thread is a great idea. Personally, I like FaceApp. But, you're absolutely right that it's possible to add all kinds of personality to a photo just through angles, lighting, eye placement, etc. Great post! I'm looking forward to what else people post on this thread.

I seem to read more into the girl's expressions than other folks see, but I live with them every day. I know Chastity is a diva, but here she can't really hide it..
