I had to go and visit GeekistheCo...Thanks Crystal!<br /><br />I had to go and visit GeekistheColour and see her black-and-white photos. Lovely. I liked the "Into the Light" a lot - it was soft and filled with feelings.<br /><br />At the moment I feel that the season for indoors photo are coming. But at the same time I would love to experience the snow, dolls and see what the light can do.<br /><br />First I need to see the rainy time pass by.DollsDolourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649644348814430198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729212967763524647.post-70531420285520964142015-11-13T18:26:40.239+01:002015-11-13T18:26:40.239+01:00I'm more of a color person, thought I do like ...I'm more of a color person, thought I do like b/w for some things. I know GeekistheColour has some very lovely b/w photos of her dolls.<br /><br />I enjoy being outdoors, however, even inside my photography is mostly about sharing the feelings that are surrounding me at the time.<br /><br />I enjoy your art, and I look forward to seeing more of it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729212967763524647.post-2665199344355918382015-11-12T07:48:24.824+01:002015-11-12T07:48:24.824+01:00Oh my, I am so glad that my teacher had his clothe...Oh my, I am so glad that my teacher had his clothes on! :D I can enjoy a good result from kroki, but that's it. Maybe something to learn in the future?<br /><br />My childhood friend's dad worked at a local newspaper and he had a photography lab that we could use from time to time. We mostly made black-and-white photos, just because it was cheaper to develop. Her dad could see the difference in a black-and-white photo and a color photo turned into black-and-white, just from the contrasts. I was amazed. <br /><br />I agree with you, Gooliope looks better in black-and-white! She is so much softer in that photo and her features pops out in a good way. <br /><br />Light, shadows and contrast make a big difference. And in a way a black-and-white photo makes your fantasy work - you think about the colors in the photo and wonder what they are...I do that often. :D DollsDolourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649644348814430198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729212967763524647.post-89249785821352515162015-11-12T07:30:48.638+01:002015-11-12T07:30:48.638+01:00Thanks! :)
There is something with black-and-whit...Thanks! :)<br /><br />There is something with black-and-white photos and deep feelings - tears, anger and so on. I think that the feelings are highlighted in those photos. I watched "Top Model" once when they took close ups (the models had even vaseline in the face) in black-and-white and the results were amazing! Photos of the nature, with rain or storm, are powerful in black-and-white.<br /><br />But when it comes to dolls, I like the photos that are soft and in some way mild in colors. I would love to see more photos of dolls in black-and-white, though. Just to learn from others how they set the light, what to think about and so on.DollsDolourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649644348814430198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729212967763524647.post-24967108925194760152015-11-11T17:11:19.056+01:002015-11-11T17:11:19.056+01:00I studied graphic design so we had art classes wit...I studied graphic design so we had art classes with nude subjects and I was terrible at it. But I was pretty good drawing pots and fruits and the likes so I passed in the end thanks to those XD<br /><br />We also had photography classes, not digital but analog (is that the word? I think :o). Our photography lab was only equipped for b&w photography so we revealed and did all ourselves and all of our photos were done in b&w so you had to think about contrast much more than when you take color photos.<br /><br />I still love b&w photos but prefer color photos specially for dolls, in very few cases I think the b&w version is better. The best way to take good b&w photos is to plan them as b&w beforehand in my opinion.<br /><br />As for the examples you posted here I think the Gooliope looks better in b&w and the other 2 in color hehe :)<br /><br />As for my photos I try to take really illuminated photos, as I like the warm and happiness it brings me, but I fail miserably most of the time hehe. Practice makes perfect though!Fantasywoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073223338797438798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729212967763524647.post-49421396518750024642015-11-11T11:01:36.642+01:002015-11-11T11:01:36.642+01:00This is an interesting subject!

I personally like both color and black&white photos, though I try to leave the black&white shots for maybe more emotional stuff and mainly shoot in color. Black&white photos can look really pretty, especially if used in good situations and not overused.<br /><br />When it comes to color photos, I've noticed that I have moment when I enjoy natural, a bit desaturated photos while sometimes I enjoy bright colors and contrast. It might depend on my current mood and feelings :)sherimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801106281232892955noreply@blogger.com
