iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Thank you so much! (And for your kind comments on my other posts too). I love my mini fog machine! My favorite shots are the ones without just because im obsessed with how her clothes and the plants flow under the surface, but the mist fit the vibe i wanted so well 😊

Thanks so very much! I absolutely adore him, need to think up more photoshoots. The other ear i made a pencil stub out of a toothpick for one of his piercings 😂

Thanks!!! He was so so cool, i never really did anything with him and wanted to downsize some, so I've since passed him along, but he really was striking! It was fun to play with interesting lighting for his photos, and he was the doll that gave me the confidence to do artificial light images too!

Yeah, I miss the community vibes before instagram got so stupid with the algorithms and bjorked the tags. 2017 and 2018 were really fun times to be sharing in the hobby. Hopefully we can all settle on a platform that better allows us to share our love of dolls and creativity!

Thanks, I do enjoy it too! Lots of stubbornness and hard won skill, its so cool to see how much I've improved over the years. I'm trying to get better about sharing on here, but i wasnt a big fan of twitter even before the nonsense, so I'm struggling to remember to post on bluesky 😔

Ditch time ditch time ditch time!!! Took photos of Moss, my Do Dolls Dream Lullaby Miss Ao, in the irrigation ditch. Proof that you can find cool spots in the least expected places. The mosquito bite above my left... cheek... was a worthy sacrifice #legitbjd #bjd #bjdphotography #dollphotography

She's so pretty! I love the flocked hair approach

Wow! Incredible work! Your attention to detail and use of light are really amazing

I'm trying so hard to actually hang out here, but I've definitely been struggling motivating to cause i had trouble finding the doll community last time. Any bjd collectors/photographers i should follow? #bjd #legitbjd #dollphotography ? Vid from my most recent shoot:

Here's some photos of Moss, my Do Dolls Dream Miss Marionette Lullaby Miss Ao in woodland echo. My little swamp thing, excited about her!

And a quick reference for people who are into the story/character context stuff. 💀- Modern Prometheus-es, my modern day group, average world, "average" people. Close knit friends and lots of shenaniganery 🐸- Fantasy characters! Each reasonably developed but idk about connections between them yet

It would be super helpful for me and uploading my photoshoot backlog if y'all would request what doll you'd like to see next! Next comment I'll list their names in left to right, top to bottom order- like reading in English! Feel free to comment your favs!

Hey all! I'm Pete (they/he), early 30s creative from Western Slope CO. I do a lot of photography with my dolls, and love the process of customizing them. Several have in depth characters, others just look neat. I'm super friendly, feel free to message with questions, requests, or just to chat!

Gave the wig a rinsing and have to reglue a few spots, but I’m slowly getting it styled! #bjdwig #bjdwigmaking #balljointeddoll #legitbjd #ruggedrealismbjd #ruggedrealismaquilo

Unpainted and eyeless doll with blond wig styled in swept back style to look like Rufus Shinra from Final Fantasy 7. Doll facing camera.

Here, have a Jameson. Maybe I'll get to my looooong backlog of photos eventually... its hard to decide what to share and when tbh... #bjd #legitbjd

So frustrating 😭 give me my intentionally organized photo dumps and plenty of room to ramble, i neeeeeed it. Tumblr. I need everyone to move to tumblr. 😅 (And the way people say things in the tags when they don't really have the courage to comment outright? We need more of that in this world!)

Pete @ithilien-bjd.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Super annoyed about it, cause i never enjoyed this social layout type, but since most of the insta hobby that's moving seems to be settling on here instead of anywhere with a format i like... I will be strong and try again! So where my bjd folks at?

Saw that dollcon dallas had a cloud themed photobox, got jealous and inspired to throw together my own real quick #bjd #doll

Here are the first camera photos of new boy! I crawled under my desk to get these so I'm quite pleased with how they came out!

A super generous person recently gifted me a rumpeldoll morfeo head, I'm totally in love with him, immediately made him a wig and he stole one of my wip dolls bodies.

A couple more film photos of Harlow. #bjd

Pete @ithilien-bjd.bsky.social · 05/01/2024

I even love technically imperfect photos when shot on film, stuff that would immediately go into the trash on my digital camera I love and cherish as a film shot. So weird. #bjd

Did some film photography of my dolls this past fall, i really love the quality of my film shots, they have such a cool vibe #bjd

Here's a end-of-year photo of my main doll crew, or, as I call them, the BigUns. #bjd I sure love the larger sizes of bjd - theyre just so fun to handle and photograph

A grouping of 8 large, realistic human dolls, ranging in heights, resin color, and styles.

Old shot of the ever lovely Poesy #doll #bjd

A humanoid doll with a rabbit head sits cross legged in front of a rock textured like alligator skin. She wears bright yellow pants, green sneakers, and a grey sweater with an embroidered poppy where a chest pocket would be. She has a dreamy, peaceful expression.

An old picture of Valere, from before I mussed up his wig. #bjd #doll

A very pale doll with gold leaf adorning his fine featured face looks down and to his right. He is wearing a sheer white chiffon blouse with gold buttons at the sleeves. A teal drop earring is just visible on his right ear. He has short pink hair set in delicate waves.

Gunna start this account off with some older photos! Here's Remy! I dont reach for her as much as the big babes these days, but she's eternally a favorite.

A fair complexioned doll with long blonde, windswept, hair looks just off the camera. She has rosy cheeks and is wearing a inclusivity rainbow tshirt and a dark green flannel. She is at a cliffside beach and the shot is moody and blue toned
