When a sex doll is used as a subject for photography, its aesthetic condition is paramount. Storage, in this context, is less about long-term preservation and more about maintaining a “camera-ready” state at all times. The workflow must be optimized to protect the doll’s visual appeal, especially its hair, face, and skin.
Before storage, the doll needs to be immaculate. After a thorough cleaning, pay special attention to the face and makeup, ensuring there are no smudges. The hair is a major focus. It should be gently detangled, styled as desired for the next shoot, and then carefully protected. A large silk or satin hair bonnet is essential to prevent frizz, tangles, and flattening. For intricate styles, a soft hair net under the bonnet can provide extra hold.
To prevent any marks that would be visible on camera, the storage surface must be perfect. Lay the doll flat on a thick piece of memory foam or a plush velvet blanket. This provides a soft, even cushion that eliminates the risk of pressure points or indentations. The storage location should allow for easy access, so you aren’t struggling to retrieve it before a shoot. By treating the doll like a delicate model between sessions, you ensure it is always pristine and ready for its close-up, saving you significant prep time and effort.
