This is my entry for Resin Aperture this month! The theme is high-key photography, which was *really* hard for me… I’m a high-contrast kinda girl! But I had fun and I used another picture from this set for one of my ADAW posts for a future week because I’m cheating…

For the Resin Aperture theme of the month: High Key. Normally don’t like her in a white fur wig but for some reason it fits well. Also, Soom eyes are hard to photograph from the side.

Entry for resinaperture’s April 2015 Challenge - High Key. ^_^

Okay… so this was interesting. My first take on this was technically a high-key shot (that is, all the colors on the histogram are concentrated on the high-end), but something doesn’t feel right with my full-front key light and halo backlight set up. I then realized, there’s not enough fill light! Even when overexposed, there is still too much play of light & shadow on the subject giving sharp contrast to the features despite the elimination of blacks in the picture. What I need is some honest good fill lighting to wash out the dark areas.

So I turned on all the lights in my room, moved my key light a bit and got this as final result. It has much less shadows than the first one, but since I no longer have to overexpose so much, I was still able to retain the subject’s features. ^_^

So what do you think? Challenge success?

Took this for the April Resin Aperture challenge (high key). This one was pretty tough for me, but I kinda like the result!

Yves (Doll Chateau Cyril) was the one to take this High Key challenge for me. :) Doll belongs to @ascheprinz, picture is taken by me.

Shy Girl by Karla-Chan done for the resinaperture challenge: High Key

This was, way, way out of my normal comfort zone. So I am honestly not sure how well I did with the challenge; because a lot of my dolls look high contrast, so the ones with darker skin have light hair and visa versa. So it was a case how do I do this challenge without too much shadows? I know it sounds silly, but I didn’t want to change how the dolls look because they are all based on characters. I would rather show them as their characters. If that makes sense? I thought well if I try to show as little of Ki’s hair as possible that might help, so I thought about the white lace hood. So hopefully I have made more of the picture High Key. I also did it in black and white because of how red her hair is, and I thought that would take the edge off. I tried muting the colours at first, but that didn’t seem to look right. So I went straight up black and white. However I do really like these challenges because they do make me think in different ways, and try things I would have thought to try on my own.

Honestly I really recommend these challenges to people! I hope you like my picture, but if have any feedback on this I honestly don’t mind. Feedback is always welcome!
