These pictures were an idea in progress. I first had the idea to do my body of work on barbies, then decided to go with the bath doll, which u see in the slide show below. With these barbie pictures I wanted to give a sense of movement, and get the viewer to feel that the barbie's could almost be mistaken for a real person. I did this by decreasing the depth of field, and shooting from a different angles.
This body of work was an assignment for design your own simple project. I purchased a small bath doll and placed a tattoo on it's stomach, then photographed with a macro lens.
