UPCOMING TALKS for 2026

2 Feb – Polina Plotnikova

https://www.polinaplotnikova.com/

Polina is a specialist in still life photography, and her talk “Small World” is a derivative from her still life
presentations. It focuses on the world of BJD – a world all about art doll photography. These are not toys,
but highly collectable posable ball-jointed-dolls. Created by remarkable craftsmen they are effectively real
works of art. Polina will talk about the history of ball jointed dolls collecting and the various aspects of
photographing dolls, adjusting scale of lighting, sourcing props etc. See how Polina visualizes her creative
ideas and implements them in front of the camera with her doll models.

Join us online for an insight into a different world of photography and see the amazing images Polina
creates from a style of photography many would not think existed. Look forward to seeing you there!
