Sweet Sakura
So it's been around a month since I last took real photos, let alone posted o.O
A lot's happened in said month. Not all of it good, which is why my girls have unfortunately been a bit neglected in terms of photography :(
Still, that all changed yesterday - feeling a lot better, I decided to snap photos of the über cute outfit I set Sakura up in on the weekend prior.
Hope you enjoy ^^ ~
Sakura's Flickr set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gabrielvh/sets/72157624062003580/

Deep and shining eyes ^^;


Sakura, day-dreams about being taken places outside. The London Doll Meet is soon, never fear!
I do need to try and take my girls to more interesting locations >.<
It's just wet, muddy or full of chavs around these parts though.


Would you like this donut? :3 *licks icing off thumb*

I think this might be one of the few photosets I've pushed to this sort of brightness. Am happy with how the white fabric background worked, even if it's more visible in some shots than i'd prefer. Need to look at some sort of paper or nylon/fabric infinity wall backdrop. My brown suede fabric works great, but it can get bit.. same-y lol


Full-body outfit shot I forgot to do yesterday ^^;
Wanted to do this shot completely from above. Though realising I wanted to have her feet in focus (hadn't shown any of her feet beforehand) and the fact that Sakura can't look upwards (she's non-modified) I opted for the simple front-on shot ^^;
Pleased with how she looks - considering it's a mish-mash of different things. Retail clothing, YJA skirt, socks and necklace (three different outfit sets) and then Volks Sakura alt outfit shoes.
Thanks for looking! :3










Soo nice!A very lovely daughter u have.
Thanks! She's glad you think so :3
oo your Sakura is really cute! I love that outfit and pink hair color combination. The milk candy necklace adds to the charm too! XD
:D Thanks! It all seemed to come together quite nicely ^^;
Very nice, and i too have been neglecting my girls photography for a while now too, but i'm also in a dire need of getting the girls a new wardrobe.
Thanks :) Yeah - I've not bought new clothes in ages, simply because I'm trying to do more with what I have lol But I think if I see another outfit I really really like, I'll go for it ^^;
Once a chance for me to get .......
T-T SAKURA!
Did you try and get her the first time round? ^^;
nomnomnom!
Sakura is the icing on the .... donut? XD
hahaha indeed XD mmmmmm
great matching !!! x3
that's a super nice outfit, and i didn't know sakura was this pretty until now x3
XD Thanks :3
I think Sakura takes that as a compliment XD ;)
like her necklace ^^
Thanks Aya-chan :)
nice to see Sakura getting new photos ^^ i love the dreamy white background on your photos :P
'tis indeed ^^ Thanks :3 Yeah decided that maybe this time, brown wouldn't work so well lol
I think it's nice to keep trying new style for DD photography :P what canon lens did u use for this photo set??
Just wish I had more interesting things to photo them with >.< lol
I used my 50mm ƒ1.4 Prime Lens for these, and shot them at ƒ2.2 ^^
When the weather get warmer, u could do more outdoor photos^^ canon 50mm prime is great lens :P
Love the eyes >_<
:3 Yeah - with the right light, they have a lot of depth ^^
Great poses ^^ I particularly like #196597 and #196599
Thanks duriel :D Glad you like 'em ^^
Woah, its so nice and bright ;3
Good job!
A lot of pink and white! ^^;
Thanks :D
2 Thumbs UP, Sakura is one of my favorite female characters, and the hair is just lovely.
must resist from getting a dollfie.
^^/ Thanks - she's had the hair for a while, she's only ever had it or her default ^^; But I think it suits her too well to take it off :3
Just like what a lot of people have quoted, the light pink fix Sakura very well. I do have to say purple and pink would be rare hair hair colors, but they match her very well =3 <3.
This shot is amazing! Love it! ^^
Thanks Smithy! :D
Excellent photo set, the white background, light outfit and luminosity work great to make bright photos that aren't overexposed, they're bright but not blinding and retain a soft look about them. Some great poses and framing of Sakura to boot. Terrific!
Thanks Smithy :) Really glad you like them! ^-^ I'm still working with the one hot tungsten lamp though ^^; So lighting is sometimes hit and miss, but looks good when it works :3
♥♥♥
Beautiful Sakura! !!!
Awh ^^; Thanks toel-uru! :D
This color theme suits Sakura so well... she looks so amazing (^^)
Thanks Otakusan! :D
Sakura looks gorgeous with that background and sweet poses. The pictures are great.
:3 Glad you think so ^^ Thanks!
Nothing like a mix-n-match for outfits, adds a bit of individuality.... Lovely close-ups....
Yeah, exactly! ^^ Thanks
I'm loving this shot - the 'high key' look is almost angelic looking and really sets off her dark purple eyes.
Thanks :D I'm quite fond of that shot too ^^/
That is such a beautiful color combination! She is so adorable!
Thanks Zakuro! :3
She's so cute! I really like her outfit<3
Glad you like it Fugu, thanks! ^^
She is adorable in that outfit! It looks really nice on her. I especially like that top... very cool. The pics are great as usual!
Thanks balldylox :D Sakura deserved a change of outfit, her previous one was beginning to clock quite a few miles ^^;
Oh My! Sakura kawaii XD
She looks so tender and genuine, she's really cute. Congratulations!

I have to say I love this entire shoot. I adore the way the lighting is, and it makes her eyes all the more dramatic.

^_^ Mmm hm! I'm all for things more light and airy... It seems like too many people have Goth Loli DD's.
simple is the best, gorgeous photo, like the color, give me a comfortable feeling
Thanks Hololo! Glad you like them :3

I'll eat the donut slowly and gently ^o^
Such a cute face. I love her.
