Photography Exposed is a series of articles brought to you by your General Photography Community Volunteers! EveryNextDreamMrs-Durden and isthisthingstillon are going to be exposing the popular and not so popular galleries within the main Photography gallery here at DeviantArt. For this edition I chose to focus on a gallery that gets a lot of hate from a lot of people, and baffles most people as well: Still Life > Dolls and Figures.

What is it?


Most people don't tend to like Dolls and Figures photography. They don't tend to see the artistic value of it, or understand the appeal. Yet, it takes a great deal of skill to photograph objects such as dolls and figures in an interesting way. Just like food/drink photography or flower/plant photography, you need to come up with the proper composition, props, lighting and backdrop. If you're the crafter of the doll/figure, you should probably submit to the Artisan Crafts gallery UNLESS to you it's about the photograph, the capturing of said doll/figure, the creation of emotion, ideas or stories through this doll/figure in this photograph. In this case, the Dolls and Figures sub-gallery is for you!
