Gold and Green

8/3/2023

 
My sister and I are currently working on a new book - Fantasy Fashions - which will feature photos of every costume I've made for my realistic adult dolls. But there wasn't a good clear photo of the green and gold Medieval gowns.  Yes, my dolls had worn them both in several stories, but there were no good 'portrait' shots of either one.  So I had to take some.
First I took some in the castle interior...
Picture
but Bianca was blending into the background tapestry too much, so I switched positions...
Picture
Then tried some different poses and photo angles...
Picture
It wasn't working, so then I took them outside onto the 'castle terrace'..
Picture
Much better!   So, since they were out there I thought I'd just take some more photos just for fun.

Gorgeous! I love the close ups with the gown details.

Beautiful gowns. I particularly like the outdoor photos.

Thank you. I totally agree. One of those full length garden photos would make a much nicer full page photo than the indoor ones.

They look so beautiful. But I am in love with Naomi anyway.

Thank you. Naomi is a beauty and looks good in everything. She's definitely one of my favourites.

I do see how switching the women makes both gowns stand out.

I am enjoying the "conversation" the women are having on the castle terrace. I wonder if they are talking about men (smile).

I don't know what they were talking about, as I was too busy taking the photos to eavesdrop.

All the photos are beautiful, but I do like the ones on the "castle terrace" best.

The gowns are magnificent and I love the close-ups of the two ladies! The incredible amount of handwork in the bodices is a treat to see up close.

Thank you. I figured since I've gone to the trouble to set up the dolls on the 'terrace' , Imight as well are advantage and take lots of photos.

One of the garden photos is now destined for the Fantasy Fashions book.
