Paper dolls are too flat/two dimensional.

A "real" doll or manikin would be a better choice.

They can be a bit air-headed.

Yeah,..I think paper dolls wouldnt really work that well. You cant really pose them. If you wanna go small scale like that, Barbie dolls or something similar would probably work better. Just something you can sort of pose, and has more dimension to it.

Those RealDolls are expensive, er, um, so I hear. If you can afford one of those to practice photography with, you might have too much money.

Note to those not in the know. Googling "realdoll" will likely find you things that aren't safe for work, school, home, really anywhere.
