Dolls, especially ventriloquist dolls look scary. Knowing they're dolls and harmless, still always that feeling in the back of my mind they can jump up at you. This particular "doll" is a keychain my son brought back from Disneyland of Disney Sea. He gave it to me, so I could take a photo of it. I built an attic diorama, stuffed it with my daughter's doll house stuff, added some fog and lights, et voilà...

Thanks for showing your setup, It's always interesting to see how different photographers work.

Your welcome! It can indeed be very helpful and inspiring. What I find interesting is that outside the frame, it can be a total mess or some kind of ingenious structure to help make the photo and then see the result. It's like magic.
