This is a collage of the band I'm trying to put together. I'm still missing a body (Lukkas Klami, the Luts Regen, is borrowing from Coltrane; he'll get a DragonDoll body), and more appropriate clothing. Also need to properly design the band's name.
All of them are hybrids.

I ordered this body back in January and it was just yesterday that I got it. I promised I would make a photo story of it, as bizarre as it sounds. I'm sorry for the choppy dialogue, I'm just too tired at this moment lol. I hope you enjoy it.

I invest hundreds in clothes for these guys, but I always prefer photographing them like this =_=

I always liked portraying the guys as human as possible, so this time I did the opposite: showing the resin ball jointed dolls filled with elastic that they are. The situation is... What would happen if a little niece opened the door to my place and didn't have any sense of private property? Bob belongs to my sister

As I was starting in the hobby, I had to make the most out of the few clothing and props I owned. I had no furniture. I think this constraint pushed me to be more creative with my takes. I had to have an idea in my head before starting a photoshoot, and then give the final touches later on in Photoshop.
I've done some digital archaeology, gathering doll pictures from old websites and external hard drives, and I've taken the decision of resurrecting this BlogSpot. I will gather all of my dolls' galleries and photo-stories in this one single place.
In 2009, two hobbies started piking my interest: dolls and photography. Dolls were my main escapism as I was a migrant. Photography helped me overcome all the overwhelming emotions that came with starting over, on my own, in a different country, which in this case was Canada.
I got a point and shot camera, but I still could apply what I was learning from a Facebook group called "Venezuelan photographers". This group had weekly challenges that touched on both technical and artistic aspects. It was a great community, from a time where social networks were still in its infancy. I met some good online friends that I still kinda keep on touch with.
While I got my first resin head in 2008, it was in 2009 where my doll collection really started. My first full doll was a Dream of Doll Lahoo. My sister also started collecting with me. There were so many companies, and so many lovelies to choose from... It was a whole new world for us. Most of the knowledge from that time came from a forum called "Den of Angels" which is still up and running. It was a very niche hobby and people all around the world were experimenting and finding things here and there, sharing their new discoveries.
Now with nostalgia mode full on, I present some of the experimental pictures I took and edited that magical year.
