Doll photography is a unique and complex form of art that involves more technique than one might think. All effects must be taken into consideration - lighting, angle, expression, pose - to create an image that truly brings the doll to life. For InnoSera 2009 we will be featuring a competition specifically for doll photographs.

Please follow these rules to enter:

1. The photograph theme this year is "Let's go to the Movies".
2. All photos submitted for the competition should have a resolution of 300dpi.
3. Please use your own doll(s) is in the picture (other dolls not yours can be included). So, as long as one of the dolls is both resin and yours, you can include as many of your friends’ dolls as you like.
4. Include with your photo submission:
   • your full name and email address.
   • your doll's name, model and make.
   • the name of the original film
   • describe what’s happening in the picture and what characters is your doll playing? Example: "In this scene, Ariel is confronting Ursela the sea witch who has stolen King Triten's spear, while my stuffed bunny rabbit Mr. Nibbles is playing flownder the guppy."
5. Please no pr0n period and no blood, gore, guts, or anything too graphic for your movie theme.
