In more ways than one, the approach I take with doll photography is a natural extension of what I do with both my still life photography; in fact, dolls are very much "still life" objects, albeit unusual ones. Among my personal favourites are images of the artists of the past; I find many fascinating details in the oil paintings of Old Masters and Impressionists. Other art movements, such as Romanticism or Surrealism, also often evoke specific moods or atmospheres that resonate with me; I find that photographers can channel these styles to create images that convey a deeper emotional or symbolic narrative.
