DD - Akira - Purple Kimono Dress

DD - Akira - Purple Kimono Dress

Purchased this gorgeous purple Kimono dress from Etsy a few weeks ago, wanted to take some photos but wasn't happy with how bland my setup looked until now compared with how the Kimono looked. So, I found some 1/3 Doll sized tatami mats online for sale here in Japan, and then set myself the task of creating my own 1/3 scale Shoji-looking wall for the background.

After a few trips to the local hardware store(s) and a few Amazon deliveries, I managed to create what is seen in the background of these photos. Definitely learned what to do better next time, but not bad I think..!

Megumi Kato - Saekano - 1/7 Scale Figure - Phat Company

The first Anime Figure bought since moving to Ishikawa, Japan, is this Megumi Kato figure from the Saekano anime from a few years ago.

Still adjusting the lighting of my setup, and with using my 60mm macro lens for these I had to increase the amount of light; so picked up a handy, small, but surprisingly bright rechargeable camera fill-light that can just sit on the corner of my desk without too much additional setup in my office. Seems to do the trick, but the IKEA LED string lights in the background are still very warm for photos when shooting close to the desk surface, as opposed to dolls.

Smart Doll - Starlight - Peach Pink Ribbon Dress

Starlight switches to long, layered pink hair and is wearing one of my favourite purchases. A peachy-pink dress/shirt combo that came from Yahoo Japan Auction about.. 12 years ago now(?!). Coupled with some cute heart-detailed white stockings and white leather heels.

Trying to continue to review my current load of clothes / shoes / accessories and throw away anything that has deteriorated (annoyingly) and/or try and fill any gaps in styles. Always feel like I don't have the right accessories though.

DD - Yuki - Blue Skirt Lolita Style

Revisiting some older outfits, Yuki is a cute lolita-style outfit with a blue pleated skirt that has a plastic mesh underneath that really helps it stick-out sideways for a cute shape and length. Added some black stockings and ol' faithful versatile brown boots.

DD - Moe - High School Outfit

Still adjusting to the new photo setup and lighting differences of my office room here in Ishikawa, Japan compared to back in the UK. Think I'm getting the hang of it with these recent photos of Moe and Journey, although finding the time to do anything at all is still a bit of a challenge at the moment!

Moe is embracing her inner gyaru-style High School girl, and instead of the usual skirt for this outfit I felt a cute (and very bright) red skirt would suit the vibe more complete with 80s style ankle warmers.

Starlight & Sakura - Sport Outfits and New Setup

This is the first session of photos out of my new office and setup in Ishikawa, Japan. Still figuring things out as the lighting is very different from what I had before and trying to come up with a nice common set of develop settings I can use.
