Hey butterflies! Since I have gotten my camera, I have been learning some tips and tricks for doll photography! Literally nobody in my family is interested in photography, so that left me to rely on my common sense, friends, and the internet for some help! XD When I first got my camera, @agmarvelsuperheroes on Instagram gave me some tips on how to use it and how to take good photos! With her tips and some other help, I think my photography has definitely improved!
For Example:

a few days ago!
Now for some tips!
Tip #1: If you want to get good bokeh, make sure that you are taking pictures in an area with trees or bushes. Also, back far away from the doll/object and zoom!
Tip #2: If your dolls don't stand well, sit them on a stool and take pictures! I began to do this, and it helps! You can also get better bokeh if the area you photograph at has trees!
Tip #3: Try different angles! This is really important! You do not want for all of your pictures to look the same, so try to photography the side profile of your doll. Or maybe an aerial view! You can also take pictures underneath your doll's head!
Tip #4: Use focus and zoom. If you don't use focus, your pictures will come out blurry and will be hard to view. Try to focus only on your doll if you want bokeh. Also, I recommend using auto focus instead of manual focus if you're a beginner.
Tip #5: If you're not happy with how your photos come out, do not be discouraged! Just keep on trying and your photography will most likely improve! Using a camera, may be overwhelming at first, but once you get a hang of things you'll be fine! For more tips, you can ask other doll photographers or read a photography magazine!
I hope that these helped, and if you have any questions feel free to either comment or email me at agmdollies@gmail.com!
