5 Doll Photography tips from a Beginner

Hey everyone! So I've been doing some doll photography lately. It is quite frustrating actually. But I actually find it very enjoyable. So today I have some advice to all you beginners.

So without further ado....*fabulous intro music*

1. Use a tripod. I know a lot of people say this but please, use a tripod. I started out without a tripod and ended up having extremely blurry and crooked photos. I don't have any to show you since I deleted them all. But I'm begging you. Use a tripod, It will save you the frustration of having crooked, ugly and blurry photos. 

2. Use a backdrop. I highly recommend using a backdrop for your photos. It'll make it look like you dolls are actually somewhere instead of just standing in front of a couch or something. I like to use a white sheet on the floor and drape another white sheet on top of the back "wall" (My couch). Then tape backdrops onto the white sheet.(http://myfroggystuff.blogspot.com/ has great printable backdrops.)

Before using backdrop:

After using a backdrop:

3. Don't be a perfectionist. I know, it's frustrating.It's hard not to scream.

But don't yell at people (or dolls) and stuff. Take a deep breath. Relax.

4.Use props. Using props is great for doll photography! The more detailed the props are the better! I think it gives more appeal and interest to the photo.

5. Edit your photos. I like to use https://www.picmonkey.com for this. It works really well. It's also free!
