Playing with dolls

Put Harriet away and got Barbie out the cupboard instead. She is just a cheapie Barbie - end of range mark down from a supermarket, and doesn't bend much - only her arms move back and forward and her legs move forwards. But I decided she might be okay as a patient model for a bit while I try and figure out how to make soft light, and shaping light etc. Still have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but it is quite interesting seeing the effects of changing the angle of the light, moving it back and forward, etc. I don't seem to learn or absorb things as quickly as I feel I should so it hasn't become 2nd nature to me yet.

You come up with some great ideas Desi! And I’m glad I’m not the only one having trouble absorbing information

Great lighting, love the reflection of her shoes too.

I like to do that sometimes, tho I don't have any anymore. Only one very grown up grand daughter

[Margo Sayer]

Am looking forward to your sassy shots. This is great!

@narayani Yes, sometimes I feel quite stupid. You are definitely not the only one having trouble absorbing information

@lynnz @ludwigsdiana Thank you Lynn and Diana.
@777margo A grown up grand daughter is much better than a Barbie Doll to model for you

@s4sayer Thanks Margo. Did another Barbie shot today with window light, and white card for fill light. Much better than this LED lighting bounced back. But I chose the sunset for today instead....
