Any tips on taking better photos of PM dolls?

[heidiabigail]

I have a really hard time getting a photo to show the beauty of the PM dolls. They look washed out and shiny. Any tips? The mattel ones seem to photograph well . . .

Using natural lighting (outdoor lighting, especially) is always good. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Check out the Traveling Doll/Photography Tips Sticky for more ideas and suggestions. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Get down to their eye level, and since they don't have as much face color, don't use a flash as it will wash them out even more. There's alot of beauty in a PM, but you need to work the lighting and shadows a little more to bring some depth and realism to their faces. Have fun experimenting - I don't think your dolls will mind too much! [img]wink.gif[/img]
