Master Doll Photography & Special FX - Online Course - Early Bird Launch Special

[Dreamlight]

Perfect, thanks for your feedback Cifer!

So, guys, we've been online for some 4 weeks now, what do you think of the Doll Art Club so far? Your feedback is important in shaping the content of the club...

Probably just a continuation of the teaching lessons going on.
I think photo feedback on stuff I have done in the recent past can be useful because similar conditions may be present for future pics.
Maybe at some point, some request for specific content video.
That's what I can think of for now.

I've really enjoyed the videos so far. I find them informative and they demonstrate the topics very well. I like seeing the different poses and how I can use software to try out new ideas without having to haul around a 95lb body. I've already improved just how I casually pose her around the house, but I haven't put her in front of a camera just yet. I still find it entertaining and well produced.

One topic I am interested to see specific to dolls is techniques to make her feel "alive" and how to manipulate lighting and camera angles to get different expressions out of an otherwise static face.

Hey Justinpassinthru, thanks for your detailed feedback! Glad you like it so far... adding realism and making the dolls look more alive is for sure something we'll start covering soon, as well as various moods and styles...

You're gonna LOVE today's new videos!

First up up:
If you don't have soft boxes, or advanced lights, and "just have" a simple table light, or some other flash light or similar, how about you literally PAINT
what you want in thin air? In today's long exposure video you're given the exact formula for doing just that, as well as how to take multiple photos and combine
them into a single photo using layers.


Getting Creative With a Single Light Source - Part 2 - Intro To Multi Exposure And Layers - 15 min 19 sec - June 4 2023
In today's video we're using a simple light source, and also, how you can use long exposure to "paint" exactly the light you want, and further, how to use layers to blend multiple photos. With Val Cameron from Dreamlight.

Plus, as usual, a gallery feedback video with Photoshop examples:

We're going through some of the photos in our doll gallery, and providing feedback on lighting, posing and other elements. We're also using either Photoshop or DAZ Studio to showcase specifically how some of the parts can be improved. With Val Cameron from Dreamlight.

And we're just starting the lighting fun! Next week, we'll dive straight into more magic...

Have fun!

This club looks very interesting to me!

I've been trying to improve on my doll photography and posing, check out Mia's spring photoshoot in my signature for my latest work.

What kind of individual feedback and coaching can members expect from the club?

[Dreamlight]

Hey baphometric, glad you find it cool!

Mia has an expressive face with beautiful eyes, perfect for photography and post work! Love your AI enhanced art, looks beautiful!
As far as feedback goes, we have a gallery with comments back and forth, and also a weekly video where I pick some photos randomly,
or the ones our members want to be included--and provide video feedback that way.

Often, feedback will be a little more than just a few lines about a photo, since I tend to jump into Photoshop or a 3D art software (DAZ Studio),
and showcase some additional tweaks that can be made right there.

Most importantly, if there's anything you need to be included, or tweaked, or explained in a different way, just let me know via the gallery
comments section or a support ticket.

This club looks very interesting to me!

Hey guys,
Some bad news, and some good news.

Let's take the bad news first.

I've launched the Doll Art Club early in May, with the hope to expand it
and make it a fun place for doll photographers.

The idea was to give high quality training and focus on lighting, posing and
digital effects, including blending doll photos with 3D art as well as personal
photo feedback.

I've put my entire heart into this project and spent a lot of time, effort and money into it.

Unfortunately, the interest has been very low.

It's not possible for me to continue at this rate. Like everybody else, I have a family to feed
and bills to pay.

Therefore, I'm sad to say that I need to close the gates, and stop releasing
new content as of today. The gallery will no longer get feedback as of today either
and might be closed later on.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that the club will be kept online, albeit without further content
releases.

Pricing will change, but is for now kept at the same low $10 / mo level.

So, that's about it, I'm really sad this baby didn't grow to the level I've envisioned!

To all of you that DID support this club, THANK YOU!

Current members that joined before June 17th 2023 will be grandfathered into a free lifetime membership,
but you need to cancel your recurring payments at epoch.com.

This is extremely disappointing but understandable with the lack of interest. There are tricks and techniques in these videos that everyone interested in doll photography could learn from. It has also sparked creativity and interests in other aspects of doll art for me and I will be checking out your other erotic art courses. Thank you for the time and money you have invested.

That´s quite a pity, but well understandable. 6 to 9 months before, I had a motivational peak and I would have been in immediately. Now I´m spent and shifted my interests elsewhere. Bad timing it seems.

[Dreamlight]

Yeah, that's what we artists do all the time... Me included! lol

Alright, the Doll Art Club has now changed its format and is offered as is for a single low cost one time payment. So, no more recurring payments! The club will get some occasional videos now and then to build its content library and become more complete as I envisioned. This way, you don't need to think about joining and spending money each month, but can instead get it now, relax and view the content at your own pace!
