My New Friends
After my foray into Barbie photography I saw this book called Little Mannheim – a coffee table book with little figures out and about in the city of Mannheim. The photographer, Benedikt Hild, takes photos of the kind of little people that are used to populate railway models. And I was inspired. When I was in a toyshop yesterday for something completely different, I looked at the little people on display and I was immediately taken by a collection of nudists. I feel this is the beginning of a fun friendship!
Friendly Friday: Something learned
It’s never too late
I never played with Barbie dolls much when I was little and to be honest, I never much liked them. But I bought one as an Easter present for a little girl and I have been making clothes and jewellery for her this last week – I learned new ways to apply old skills.
Before wrapping her and her belongings I have started to take photos of her – and I am learning about staging and lighting and field of focus. Here are the first of hopefully a few more photos of her. Some more learning ahead and I have to do it in the next few days.
