I wasn't sure where to put this thread, hopefully it's in the right place.
I want to improve my photography skills, but I've never had much luck. I'm looking for some tips to try and help me get started with some practice. Someone very kindly suggested looking at photos of real people to help with posing my dolls, so I'm going to start there. But I'm also curious about the following:
Backgrounds - how do you set up a nice neutral background? Do you stand your dolls up or lie them down?
Lighting - it's not so bad when the weather is nice, but during the winter, and when the weather is generally dull, I can never get decent lighting going. Even with using daylight bulbs, or using more than one light, I either get glare, or photos that are still too dark.. any tips?
And any other tips you can think of that might help
