Using Your Dimoo Toy for Photography

Taking pictures using a Dimoo toy can be an incredibly fun and even creative experience, especially with some toy photography techniques enabling you to take some excellent quality photos for social media.

Use Natural First

Using natural light is a quick and sure way to capture a quality picture of your dimoo toy. Natural light is at its most soft and diffused in the morning and late afternoon. Place your dimoo near a window for a few minutes to take advantage of this. Avoid the harsh sun of the afternoon, and make sure that the dimoo isn’t in the light for too long. If the natural light is too strong and the picture is getting washed out, placing a white sheet in front of the light can soften it.

Use Simple Backgrounds

Using backgroundless pictures of the dimoo is one way of ensuring that the toy shines in the picture, with the extra details and coloring standing out. Plain colored diffuses are things that can be used in a picture and can be replaced easily. Use a bed sheet, a wall, a notebook, or a diffuse to achieve the desired effect. In using a solid background, the attention will be drawn to the toy allowing the creativity to shine through with the design of the toy.

Capture Unique Poses and Angles

It’s the little things! Small changes can bring a lot of character to a photo. For example, shooting at eye level can create a stronger connection, whereas shooting from a little height can add a cute storytelling element. A little trick to make a photo more dynamic and natural is to tilt a dimoo toy’s head or turn its body.

Use Tiny Props For Added Context

Small props such as cups, little books, or fairy lights can elevate the level of your photo and help create a scene without overpowering the dimoo toy. Using one or two little props can make your image feel more artistic and intentional.

Edit Lightly

Using a contrast and brightness tool on a free editing app and making simple adjustments is often enough. Gentle edits are less distracting.
