My Blythe Kyle with miniature bear Okuribi made by me.
Still life photo practice/shadows & lighting. Doll is made by Takara toy company in Japan.

Advice please:
No matter what I've tried this bear refuses to have his photo taken clearly, he looks nothing like this in person ): light or dark backgrounds, several lights, indoor outdoor, the result is always poor. I hoped that my Blythe Kyle would help since her hair is also red, but no. His fur is still wrong, too shadowed and the face can't be seen.
Any advice from experienced photographers would be much appreciated.
Plus, I think it's clever how the blythe's hair colour and the bear's colour matches. I also love how you set it up - a very cute pose!
