you can always try double tissue for your models

Don't just take one or two pictures either, take tens of pictures! On some of my models, I will take nearly thirty pictures with different lighting and angles, then weed through them to figure out which ones look the best. The joys of a digital camera...

that's what I usually do.

And when you upload them to your computer, use some image editing software to lighten them up.

If i edit them, for contrast, etc. I use Picasa, but that' what I usually don't do(add lighting) because all my photos have sufficient lighting.

i can't make double tissue. when i try the paper wrinkles and rips.

The brown bear is good, though the proportions could be tweaked abit. Otherwise, very good!

Josh, taking good photographs are not very hard, here are my tips.

-provide plenty of lighting. I usually shine lamp light directly above my model.
- Make your model atand up, even if you do it shamelessly. I do that pretty often. On many of my photos, you see a huge grill holding a bird up, or a pen trying to hold a thingy up. Even if it hides abit of your model, I feel that making your model stand is very important. Firstly, it does not make your model look as if it had been run over by a steamroller and secondly, it can aid you in the photogprahy, as at that angle, you can place your camera on a table.
-Use cool backgrounds. I find Unryuu, thai silk and crumpled paper to be very good choices. With heavy lighting and rich paper backgrounds, the light illuminate your model with a shade of colour that makes an so-so model stand out.

Hope this helps.

ill take that into account for my next photo.

ps. its a grizzly bear - not a brown bear

[joshuaorigami]

ive re-photographed a few things on my flickr page.

A grizzly bear is a brown bear.

Brown bear is Ursus arctos.
Grizzly is Ursus arctos horribilis.

i can't make double tissue. when i try the paper wrinkles and rips.

you could always buy a peice of plexiglass or glass and make the double tissue on that
i bought a peice of plexiglass that is 45 x 76 cm for 12 dollars and double tissue turns out great

[joshuaorigami]

nah, id rather stick to the paper ive already folded with.

[origamimasterjared]

Well, they are different. A grizzly bear is a specific brown bear.
