Today I just wanted to share with you a photography tip.
I was just talking with a friend how in the 3 years I have been in flickr and in the Blythe comunity, has been an AMAZING source of learning and how things are so competetive that you always have the desire to be better every day.
For me when I started uploading my pics I just bareley putted attention on the detail of light and composition. Finally my background is of graphic design and not photography. I admired all the beautifull pictures of the talented custom artists and taught you needed to be a super profesional of photgraphy for your pictures to look nice.
One day I decided that if I wanted my pics to be better I needed to invest a little on equipment, because finally photography is the language needed so the world can see your work, and honestly is very flattering and very satisfaying to have a lot of favorites! ;)
(because maybe your work is a master piece but if the picture is bad only the ones that see it pyhiscally will know it was! but that?s the minority and everyone wants to receive nice comments on their photstreams)
So one of the things that made improve my Blythe pics was this little object I want to talk today. It?s like a umbrella that folds a makes a small house so small objects can be easily photographed, the light passes through softly and it gives you a background ,you can also put a cardboard or fabric behind easily (the mini studio was about 70 usd, I bought it at a photo store but you can also find sets on 3bay and there are even some that come with sets of small lights)
I took the pictures of the outside and inside of Peachnor at the same exact time and place so you can see the huge difference! Blythe is so shiny that the mini studio makes her look more softly without the contrasted shades.
This mini studio is also usefull for taking pictures of small objects or If you sell online, (in case you are just a person of outside scenarios ...I am just to shy to go carrying a doll in the street, seriously ...LOL)
Really, the results with the mini studio are just AMAZING (just look at the lace detail of the dress) and you don?t have to worry about strange objects or textures to appear on your Blythe pictures. (and it folds so it?s practical about space too!)
If you think this is too expensive just think all the money you spend on dolls and accesories, but when you see the results of your work you will know it?s tottally worth it!
I really think this is a wonderfull hobbie that motivates your creativity, so even if you are someone who doesn?t has an artist background or does it only by pleasure of it think there is never too late to learn new stuff! so don?t feel bad about spending money when this is about being better.
Dolls are also a way to express ourselves to the world and they are wonderfull! and we will keep posting on flickr anyway,...so, .well that?s it and hope this speech it?s usefull for you! :)

Hoy les quisiera compartir un tip de fotografia
Estaba hablando con una amiga de como en los 3 anos que llevo por aqui en flickr y la comunidad Blythe ha sido una iNCREIBLE fuente de aprendizaje y como las cosas son tan competitivas que uno siempre tiene el deseo de ser mejor cada dia.
Para mi cuando empeze a subir las fotos no ponia casi atencion ni el detalle de la luz ni la composicion ni nada, las subia y ya. finalmente yo no estudie foto, estudie diseno grafico y admiraba las fotos de los customizadores que ponian, asi hermosisimas y pensaba que tenias que ser, bueno..el super fotografo del ano para poder tener fotos que si vieran bien.
Un dia decidi que si queria que mis fotos fueran mejores necesitaria invertir un poco en equipo, porque finalmente la fotografia es el lenguaje visual que el mundo necesita para ver tu trabajo y honestamente es muy halagador y satisfactorio tener muchos favoritos! ;) (a lo mejor tu trabajo es una obra de arte casi mejor que la monalisa pero si solo lo ven unos cuantos a tu alrededor pues es la minoria. pero si la foto no es suficientemente buena el mundo no lo sabra...jejeje)
Una de las cosas que compre que me ayudo mucho es este objecto del cual quiero hablar hoy, es un mini studio fotografico que se pliega como una pequena sombrilla o paraguas creando una casita donde se pueden fotografias pequenos objets. La luz pasa de manera suave y te da un fondo, tambien puedes poner detras un papel, cartulina o una tela facilmente (esto me costo alrededor de 70 usd, lo compre en una tienda de foto pero tambien lo puedes buscar en 3bay e incluso hay unos mejores que traen un juego de luces pequenitas con clips)
Tome fotos de Peachnor adentro y afuera del mini studio a la misma hora y el ,mismo lugar exacto para que puedas ver la gran diferencia que logra. La cara de Blythe es tan brillosa que el mini studio hace sus facciones mas r
