My Pick
One of the things that I love to do is photograph my dolls, especially the fashion dolls. I usually share these on our doll blog and they are usually in colour but the vintage dolls do look good in black and white and I do that sometimes for fun. Here are a quartet who have been given the treatment.




They are:
- Pedigree Sindy, circa 1963. Sindy was the British fashion doll based on Ideal Tammy.
- A reproduction vintage Barbie
- Palitoy Tressy circa 1963. These dolls are the British version of the American Character dolls.
- Reliable Tammy circa 1964. Reliable was licenced by Ideal to make Tammy for the Canadian market.
Black and white and sepia are also fun to use for geometric themes.
Terrific photos Vanda. I like the bikes and window cleaners 😀 😀

Your dolls look really good in black & white. I think I should try taking pictures of mine in black & white and see how they look. I never considered it, but I like yours very much.

I have done it a few times for Cee’s challenges and I especially like it for vintage fashion dolls like Sindy because it reminds me of some of the fashion photos of that era. David was a big fan of the Pirelli Calender although the models in those wore considerably less 🙂

I think it works really well with Barby because of the highly contrasting colors both of the doll AND the clothing.
