Japanese Ball-Jointed Doll Still Life Photography

With all of the inspiring still life photography that can be found on the web, you can find some truly amazing niches within this artform. Some that combine not only the art and skill of the photographer, but also include some stunning designs or artistry from other genres and fields to really complete the picture. Pardon the pun. Today’s post shines the spotlight on one of these niches that produce some breathtaking works.

Still life photography featuring Japanese ball-jointed dolls is that niche. It’s quite an interesting subculture since those who create usually don’t just create the dolls and/or photos, but also create entire characters with rich back stories surrounding each doll. Since these dolls are highly poseable, many of the shots appear to be very realistic, candid shots. We hope you find them as inspiring as we do.
