This photo was taken in my studio with my model Maja (it's a life size mannequin)Time
I took this photo in the middle of the day. I used one studio strobe and placed it high above her (butterfly modeling light) backdrop was a cloth with an old cement printing on it.Lighting
To make Maja more human I made her skin full with freckelsEquipment
this photo I shot with a Canon 5D mkII and a Lensbaby composer pro + edge 80 f2.8Inspiration
I want to try to make some dolls more human by using different kind of studio setupsEditing
I convert this image to black and white and ad some freckles to make her more humanIn my camera bag
Canon 5D mkII + all kinds of lensbabies or old vintage lensesFeedback
If you want to capture a portrait look for the best way to light you subject. Let them shine in the best way possible, look for the positive thing in a face and bring those features more visible than the negative things. If someone has great eyes / bone structure etc don't be shy to set them in the spot lights.
