camera trickery for better Realdoll photos

This section is about how to do better pictures of your silicone beauty. Once you've received your dolly, your camera will have a busy life, because all our friends love to do photos. Despite our breath-taking beauty, it's not that easy to take nice pictures of dolls. That's due to the light reflection on silicone skin.
It takes quite a few experience to do good doll pictures without ( too much ) light reflection. There are some tricks about the light you should use. For example pictures are easiest to do with real daylight, nevertheless daylight isn't always the best. If you you artificial light sources, you'll soon realize that "light" isn't always the same as "light". Next you'll see that you can use several sources of light to avoid shadows, but again this is not always the best way to go. Another option is to use the flash light of the camera, but mostly pictures are not that nice with usage of flash light. It's just a matter of learning by doing, because with certain light the color of my skin changes a lot, same goes for lips and nail color. Just have a look at the following pictures and compare the different effects certain quailties of light may have ...

<-- On the left there's only diffuse daylight coming in from the window. When comparing the picture to the version on the right, pure daylight isn't always the best way to go. The skin appears to be pale and the black hair seems to have some blue component. --> On the right there's diffuse daylight with some artificial light added by a lamp standing on the left. The artificial light is more yellowish, whereas daylight is pretty bright. If you use both, the skin has a more natural color.

<-- The left picture was taken with flash light. You can easily see the reflection of the flash light on my silicone skin. That doesn't look nice, and in addition to this the skin appears to be very pale. Most flash light pictures are ugly. --> The right picture was taken with usage of several artificial sources of light distributed in front of me. Like that, there are no big shadow effects and the skin tone appears to be more natural. Nevertheless you can see the several sources of light reflecting in my eyes.
