But there's a big pillar capital sitting in the woods just north of the theatre, where I can pose a doll and still have the tops of the pillars in the background....
My favourite setting for doll photos at the Ruins Garden is the Greek Theatre. But that morning there was a professional photographer group taking photos there of models in bridal gowns. There was a big RV in the parking lot, and racks of bridal gowns being steamed into shape, and tons of photo equipment. So the theatre was out for a doll setting. But there's a big pillar capital sitting in the woods just north of the theatre, where I can pose a doll and still have the tops of the pillars in the background.... I just got down low enough that all the camera crew and equipment was hidden behind the pillar. Of course, the one model high on the back wall was still visible......but there was no avoiding her.... Bianca joined Miho up on the pillar... ..and a different angle to hide the camera man.... Finally one last shot of Miho, backlit with the pillars behind her....

Martha, having the "other" people in the shot helps me see the perspective and provides a great "kind-of" behind the scenes shot. Besides, your ladies are the beauties in the photo!

Personally, I'd have preferred they weren't there. I did manage to hide the dozens of models, make-up people, camera crew and assistants. But then someone went and got a ladder and had one of the models go up on the wall with the photographer.
