BJD Doll Titania Portrait and Poses Photoshoot

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

I did the first official photoshoot of my new bjd doll Titania. I did both portrait and varied poses. It tried to keep them all nice and fresh.

The new doll can stand rather well, in spite the fact that she sports high heels. It is interesting to note the different between one Doll Chateau made in 2018 and one made 4 years later.

The artist responsible for making these dolls has certainly improved its skill. In the photoshoot, I used my bicycle as part of a prop.

I can anchor the fairy wings to it easily. This helps me pose the bjd doll better. I also used my trusty mirror prop. The mirror is used to hide my domino set.

The set is heavy enough to provide some support for the dolls. I tend not to rely too much on doll stands. They tend to distract a bit, when taking photos.

It also makes the photos look less natural. By working around gravity, I add realism to the photos of my dolls. I also used a few tiny vases for décor, as well as a fake rose.

I do not have much to work with, but I try my best with my bjd doll photoshoots. With the photos, I tried to keep all the poses quite varied.

I have a couple of pose books, as well as painting references. Classical paintings are a great tool for posing your dolls.

The dead painters spent a lot of time working on their composition. If you use a painting as reference, you can sort of skip a couple of steps.

I tend to use flash in all my photos. I try to work with the distance of the camera. If I shoot the photo too close to the doll, it makes the background look quite dark.

Since the doll has a black dress, even with a light background, I end up having to retake the photo a couple of times. I do not Photoshop my photos.

At the most, I do a bit of basic cropping. It is a bit of a pain to be editing the photos all the time.

As my photography teacher once said, if you need to use a lot of photoshoot on one picture, you might as well take the photo again.

Working with that idea, I do not edit my photos.

I try to make them come out perfect the first time.

It is all a matter of finding the right camera settings.

Once the camera gets the proper kick in the teeth, the rest is easy.

Speaking of camera, I lost the lens protector on my last trip.

I should get around to buying a new one, but I just don’t feel like it.

I keep putting it off, till doomsday.

Aside from taking dolly photos, I have been making progress with the new book.

I have also drawn some new pages of the manga.

All in all, I took about 30 something photos of the new fairy bjd doll.

The wings are simply amassing.

I think this is about it as far as nonsense is concerned.

I hope you look forward to next week’s bjd doll photoshoot.

I try to do it on a weekly schedule, in order to keep things organized.

I need to make time for all my hobbies.

The Artsy Sister Teresita Blanco is done for today.

Good night.

Or good morning.

I got nothing else to rant about.

I like the nice wings of my fairy doll.

Her original name is Eunice.

I think.

I am almost done adding the photos.

Have fun, guys.
