A passport for a doll as a separate art. Read-gift
Puppeteer photographer
As you know, we puppeteers are multi-taskers. We have to resort to different fields of knowledge and applied arts in the process of creating a doll. We have to be a sculptor, a seamstress, a designer, a photographer and even a passport designer for a doll. A lot of things have to be learnt from scratch.
Some of the problems that arise cannot be resolved immediately. You have to either be content with little, or to stuff the cones for a long time and persistently until you find a suitable way out. There is also an option to pay a professional.
The intricacies of puppet photography
At my first virtual competition, which was conducted by the wonderful master Victoria Minenko, a requirement was set for a photo of a doll. A neutral background, no unnecessary objects in the frame, a clear full-length image, a clear portrait photograph ... Then each of the points put me into a stupor. It turns out that it's not enough to make a doll, you also need to work hard on the photo.
My dolls are on average 50-60cm in height, that is, the background should be even larger. In daylight (when you wait for it) in my apartment, the face and some details are illuminated in the photo. In a full-length photograph, foreign objects stubbornly creep into the frame. I simply did not have a monochromatic neutral background.
An almost insurmountable task, I thought. And for several years she made her way through the complexities of photography. Until, finally, I found my ideal option, but then a new complexity appeared.
Passport for the doll
I started exhibiting my work at offline exhibitions, and they began to acquire them. I have heard a lot about the passport / certificate for work as an integral part of the author's doll. But where to get it and how to make it beautiful?
After all, now I want to apply my photography skills and demonstrate my work on a passport in all its glory.
Of course, you can print the text on pretty paper or write it by hand. But such a passport is not what I wanted to supplement my work with. It was important for me that the passport was consistent with the job, was executed in the same style with her. In addition, once I saw the passports of Mikhail Zaikov's dolls with a photograph of the doll, I could no longer think of any other option. Now my collectors, colleagues and viewers admire the passports of my dolls and many ask where I get them.
