Sakura Punk B&W

Posted by GabrielVH [www] 

*mumbles to himself*
"Must take more photos, must take more photos!"

So two weeks after my latest load of clothing loot arrives I finally get around to taking a few shots - this time up it's the lovely Sakura ^^

I will do some luscious Maid Outfit shots and summery outdoor ones... soon..... I promise! ^^;

Anyhow, onwards!

I did a few of these tighter-crop photos, while I liked the look of the originals too, getting in closer gave it a slightly different feel.

I've never really done black and white before, and considering those are the shades most prominent in this outfit I figured why not now!
I'm pretty pleased with the result ^^

Thanks for viewing, hope you liked the photos!

      Thanks ^^ Cool! I saw that too, but wasn't sure on the black, but I'm quite surprised with this one - she's been wearing it well over two weeks and I've no problems with the black at all ^^ (As far as I've noticed XD)

    Really nice photos, she looks really cute. I love the black and white, just one issue. You should create yourself a black and white watermark because the coloured watermark kind of takes away from the image. The watermark almost becomes the main focus of attention as it's the only coloured object.

    Impressive black & white photos! As there (obviously) is no color, the lighting and posing must be perfect and really top notch job done there, nice work!

    Cute outfit for Sakura too, you should tell me your clothes purchase sources someday as I think I'm missing a few terrific stores/sales.

      Thanks! Was wracking my brain about what poses to do haha, I'm getting bored of just the brown background and have yet to find anything around here good as a backdrop >.<
      Haha, well this set is from my latest "Buy everything I like" romp through YJA ^^ Of which I just religiously search the 50+ pages of the DD search listings ^^;

      Thanks! ^^
      On average you're probably looking at around £200 to get a DD through customs unfortunately :/

        o.o omg! What about just a body or head?

          Body and head, even separately will likely each cost about £70-100 maybe.
          It sucks - plus there's a standard ParcelForce handling fee of £13.50 you can't escape.

              Yup, you'll learn to hate their prices, and the waiting times XD
              But yes, it's worth it - 7 times in my case lol

                XD It just means it'll take longer to buy my dollfie ^-^ but it gives me more time to plan.

              Azone 1/6 girls, while limited joint movement, are definitely adorable: http://twitpic.com/7bwzoy
