Red She Said - Behind the Scenes
When it comes to creating new dioramas and props, the thing I make best . . . is a mess. :-)
For some reason, a majority of the settings I have ever done have all been this size. In fact, I just keep re-using this photo corner over and over and over. (But that's what I designed it to do.) I create a setting, photograph it, take it apart, then start again with a completely blank canvas when I'm feeling inspired.
The bad thing about working with such a small backdrop (12" x 12") is that there isn't much visual or physical space to photograph a doll in, so you have to choose your props very carefully. The good thing is, it forces you to get creative with the way you take your photos. Small spaces are also (usually) quicker and easier to decorate, and for someone like me who starts getting bored with a setting before I've even finished it, that's a good thing.
