Eight practical tips
What makes the biggest difference:
- Use soft, diffused window light rather than direct flash.
- Shoot at eye level with a 50–85 mm equivalent lens to avoid distortion.
- Pose hands loosely; rigid fingers look artificial.
- Tilt the head slightly and angle the gaze off-camera.
- Add a touch of matte powder to reduce shine on silicone.
- Use standing feet upgrades for full-length shots (customisation guide).
- Choose natural-fibre clothing that drapes realistically.
- Keep backgrounds simple so skin detail stays the focus.
