I've been remembering to take more Behind the Scene photos whenever I take doll photos, so there's a lot to catch up on. But I don't want to show too many at once or it becomes overwhelming. So I'll just focus on a few recent photos featuring my little Manuna Mice. They are tiny, just 15 cm tall, so their set ups need special care....
Chef Manny
Being so small, the scene could be set up in the middle of an existing scene. I wanted the twinkle of lights in the background, so set it up with the Christmas tree in the background...
I carefully filled the table with all manner of pastries and baked goods. I made a tiny chef hat out of white paper and Kleenex, and positioned Manny on a stack of furniture so he'd be the right height...
Then I got in really close to take the photos....
..changed his pose and took more photos...
Shelter in the Storm
Many of my mouse photos are inspired by AI pictures I come across online, and this next one is no exception. I'd been knitting tiny shawls for my mice, and made the tiny shopping bags. Then it was a matter of waiting for the perfect snowfall - not too much snow, more of a light dusting that stays on all the bushes. Then I set up the scene in the raised back garden...
I sprinkled some snow on the mushrooms, and took the photos.....
getting in very close at the mousies' eye level...
Mouse Valentine
I had just finished taking photos in the dragon's lair so set up the scene right in the middle of it. The only thing I needed in the background was the glow of the fire in the fireplace.
Again, the photos were taken in very close, straight on at their eye level....
