[Photos] Delicious Treats.

Notes:


I started off practicing photographing my Whipple projects because I don't get to photograph inanimate objects very often (unless you count Inter.mind)

It evolved into a small shoot using my two Pullip (Japanese dolls.) which were bought in Japan/at a Seoul doll-fair last year. It's really odd doing portraits using dolls because I'm so used to directing living people.

(Oh and please don't comment about how 'weird' or 'creepy' you think they are. I have heard it all before way too many times.)

The Whipple photos are wallpaper sized so click for the proper versions

i don't want to comment on the dolls as you've put it in the OP already hehe. i'm just wondering if you have cute stuff toys there so you could use them instead of the dolls. or may be barbie? lol

The focus in the first doll pic creates a really awesome picture.

I only have shoulder cats and I don't collect things as cheap as Barbie dolls (although some of them can be really expensive if they're limited editions.) The Pullips are only worth about $100 each, but my dollfies back home are worth around $700 ^^;

Hello kitty on the cover!

Don't like some of the doll foto's that much, focused part devided the picture sometimes in halves, and you end up with half focused, half fuzzy. Think this only works if focused part is around the middle somewhere and you have blend all around. (dno the right terms but hope it's clear, might be just my taste)

I don't agree tbh - it's an effect called bokeh and only using it in the center of a photo makes the set repetitive and boring. Also most of the focused items were the faces - obviously I'm not going to blur those out in a portrait shot o.O; Anyway, I guess you're entitled to your opinion even if it is really unclear to me what you're trying to say.

Also checking back on the set 90% of the photos have the focused area in the center anyway so I really don't know what you're saying - there are only 2 shots with the focus off-center and they're not divided by halves. It was an experiment so experimenting with development techniques and depth of focus was the idea not making 'crowd-pleasing' photos.

I don't just spend my time photographing progamers. I need to practice using other things as well. Especially when I'm too sick to go to events. Reactions like yours aren't exactly helpful.

I've already photographed those ladies twice. I'd enjoy the chance to take more photos of them, but as I mentioned a couple of blogs back I'm still too ill to do a major event such as a concert.

i think your recent posts are a good addition to the blog section actually. they aren't what we're used to but that's one of the reasons it is good; gives a little bit more variety to things. my only complaint or suggestion is maybe putting the photos in a spoiler tag so you have the option of expanding them manually so that each time you open up blog you don't have to scroll all the way down through them, a bit of a chore to be frank. first time through is good though ^.^. i found your whipple videos interesting also, it was pretty refreshing to see snowy korea.

All the best to your recovery.

I'm kinda curious about more of these effects that you use (in reference to bokeh), and perhaps some of the techniques you're using without us even noticing them... like angles and lighting. What are you aiming for when your taking some of these pictures of inanimates... or do you even have a goal?
