Casey, my Topfire doll

Hey everyone,

Thought I’d start a little thread for Casey, one of my TopFire girls.

She’s got such a warm and expressive face — perfect for portraits and a lot of fun to photograph. I like trying different lighting moods and themed setups, so you’ll probably see her in quite a few different looks over time.

Here are a few recent shots to kick things off.

Hope you enjoy them — feedback’s always welcome!

Cheers,

Johnmagicnl

I tried black and white. I am new to black and white, so if you got tips, please shout.

I don’t think you need anybody to give you tips. In fact, I think I need to ask you for some. This is a fabulous photograph.

Very Nice @Johnmagicnl :revolving_hearts:

From what I’ve been able to uncover about B&W is, That it’s all about lighting and texture. I think if you keep those two things in mind your B&W’s should come out nicely.

I completely agree with you, lighting and texture are key in B&W. I also have the feeling that with black and white you can go for stronger contrasts — the light doesn’t always need to be that soft. It feels that a bit of edge gives it more character.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

Check out things like high-key and low-key images. They’re always B&W, and for a reason.
