OUTPUT?

Wolf - i prefer the 3rd one, the model looks nice close up - just need to fix the composition.

choose a better background la. one that does not blend into her skin.

if you want, you can use other things as well, say brick walls and use natural lighting.

1. color looks off like that. what WB were you using?
2. background background background.

your background matching her skin and hair leh, it does not BRING OUT the character.

hehe. here's my LUAN LUAN snap pic. it's not my best shot but I'm going to use it to illustrate a point

notice how the background color can bring out the character?

ehh. theoretically possible la.

some PnS have macro mode. so when the AF goes into the nearby object, hold it there and move around for the composition.

now if only i can find my C2-Zoom to prove it. LOL. my Fuji S7000 surely can do bokeh.

aihh. time to introduce Gorillapod to you guys.

anyway, try using plain background.

here's a VERY simple setup.

1 semi-transparent tray
1 standing light
1 toy



well not the best pose or setup, but this picture is to illustrate how a simple lighting setup with a little post-processing can CREATE effects.

putting them on pillows look like fighting in toy land la.

if you want, try rocks instead. they look better. then of course try lightings and areas that look more realistic if you want.

hehe. just make sure Evangelion fans don't point out the size of the mecha and house are not in correct proportion!

use sunlight cannot meh?

can use umbrella as reflector also. don't have white color umbrella? use white shirt la? a bunch of underwear also can.

seriously. photography involves creativity in the setup too.
