Spring photo sessions in garden '22

I thought about it all winter to take my horses out in the garden on fresh green grass and make a session with them. Okay, dolls too, but horses, as always, are more important. It turns out that capturing the herd with a lens is not that easy. In general, preparation and setting is a lot of work. They seem to be standing in boxes and no one touches them, and every time I take them out, I have to comb their hair, fix individual decorative elements - so there is a lot of work.

When one, two or three horses take part in the session - there is no big problem, the stairs already start above four. It is like taking photos of dolls - many collectors know this pain. When you manage to set the scene to the frame, suddenly a stronger gust of wind comes. And when there is Baja among my horses at the beginning of the row - there is a domino effect - all the horses lie down one after the other. This is how both group sessions of my horses ended. Fortunately, I managed to catch a few frames, because after such a fall, it is no longer on my nerves to grasp and re-position it.

Group sessions were held twice, first in a smaller group - 7 horses, and after a few days, 13 horses took part in the second attempt. Of course, this is not my entire herd, but even that number was difficult to cover in one frame.

The order on the photo was random. I had no idea for the session at all, except that I wanted to do it.

The dolls also got a permission to go out. Recently I made them a set of garden furniture. These photos still lack the umbrella which required more work. There are also missing glasses of some cool drink and sun loungers, which I managed to hunt down in the ornament store. Lord also got a pass to the garden.

I wanted to use this beautiful floral background that fades quickly because primroses only bloom in early spring. And this year they were really beautiful.

When Lord came to the herd - I dreamed of a dog session on the grass. However, the rest of the dog pack was in the countryside, so I had to wait for an opportunity to bring them back to town. When it worked out - the weather broke, so I had to wait again. But finally I managed to take a few photos of them.
