I would be completely honored. You have my full permission to share any part of this you wish. :) <br /><br />I feel like you are one of the boldest doll/toy photographers I have seen. You always make me want to push and challenge myself. Thank you, for writing and sharing such awesome content. I greatly enjoy reading your articles and looking at your incredible photos. You have one hell of a perspective, and I love it. :) <br /><br />I hope to see you share some before/afters in the future. ^_^Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461523960068619397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879384493519426875.post-90730984000028986472016-07-15T12:11:34.260-07:002016-07-15T12:11:34.260-07:00First, thank you so much for taking the time to co...First, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. :) I thoroughly enjoyed reading your perspective. <br />Sitting down and learning what your camera is capable of is really beneficial. Knowing how it responds in natural light vs artificial is also a bonus. :) I think with the story telling element, letting the photos speak on behalf of what you might normally write out is harder in the beginning. Especially if you enjoy the writing process (I can relate). Personally, I love picture heavy blogs with good reads attached. But not everyone feels that way. Do what makes you happiest, and keep looking into tutorials and taking so many pictures that your computer hates you once they have uploaded. lol ;) Again, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I will be following your blog as soon as google is done giving me the error message. Until then, I bookmarked you. :) Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461523960068619397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879384493519426875.post-61102320071188957592016-07-15T11:49:06.881-07:002016-07-15T11:49:06.881-07:00Thank you! :) (I follow your blog, your photos ar...Thank you! :) (I follow your blog, your photos are SO not terrible!) <3<br /><br /><br />Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461523960068619397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879384493519426875.post-23024563809747188872016-07-15T11:44:21.037-07:002016-07-15T11:44:21.037-07:00Hello, Erin!

Like you, I enjoy seeing the creative process of others. It pushes me forward and often gives me those ah ha moments. :) Is there a site I can see your work?

I'd really like to share some of this with the STAND readers and link them back to you for them to read the whole thing - if you wouldn't mind.<br />I also really love your boldness to show your before/afters. Maybe I will be brave enough to show a few of mine too. <br />Thank you for this - really, really well done!

I'm a terrible photographer period. That said, I've been adjusting the lighting and color on the doll photos I post to my blog with my computer ever since I figured out how. Even with these fixes my doll photos don't have the same 'wow factor' as photos taken by other, more talented photographers. But I like to think that my photos are at least more presentable. I think my problem may be two-fold. First off, I really need to sit down with my camera manual again and figure out exactly how the different settings work. Second, I need to stop thinking of my photos as being secondary to the story being told. The posts on my blog tend to be word heavy, with few pictures. I need to get it into my head that the photos are just as important to the post as the writing. That, and I really need to get out and just PRACTICE taking photos. We learn by doing after all, and reading books on a subject isn't the same as having hands on experience.<br />Signed, TreesaTreesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526585862592345034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879384493519426875.post-7053512384653972332016-07-14T06:53:43.160-07:002016-07-14T06:53:43.160-07:00Oooh!

I've been doing doll video and photography for over 6 years now, but just starting into the blogsphere really. It's helpful to my ambition to see other people's creative process.
