Photographer Zackary Canepari created a “Love Machines” project, where he showed the Real Dolls’ scary lifelike faces and bodies in various states, writes Daily Mail. The photographs were taken inside a San Marcos, California factory called Abyss Creations.

Each of the dolls, once customized to suit fantasies of the customer, costs around $7,000.

Canepari, with his filmmaker Drea Cooper made a video interview with Matt McMullen, the sculptor behind the dolls.

He spoke how he believes artists have sort of a weird thing where they are just driven to do something.

“I was always driven to sculpt females, and it just evolved. This was. . .the logical progression of what I wanted to do with my artistic abilities and my desire to create,” he said.

However, despite success he made by creating the life-size dolls, the hobby is not welcomed by his family.

“I’ve always been sort of a recluse… So I spent a lot of the time in the garage by myself.. . . I would [show my family] what I was doing, and they all thought I was weird,” he said.

Despite his family’s disapproval, Mr McMullen embarked on his first project, which he intended to be “a really cool mannequin for display”.

He says he wanted this doll to be “stepping outside the bonds of your traditional mannequin which tends to be very supermodel-esque. I wanted to do something with some sexy curves.”

When Mr McMullen created early prototypes and shared them online, he received a flurry of people asking if the dolls were “anatomically correct”, and if so, if they could be ordered.
“I wanted to step outside the bonds of traditional mannequins, which tend to be very supermodel-esque. I realized early on that this was probably the direction that this was going to go,” he admitted. “And I just went with it.”

For the next batch of mannequins, he added in “obvious parts”.

“And there you go, the first Real Doll was born,” he explains.

He claims that Real Dolls are not just sex toys. “It’s way more than that,” he says.

“Number one, not everybody has the degree of care and respect that it takes to actually own one of these dolls. This is not something that you just kick under your bed,” he explained.

“They invest months and months into the planning of what the doll is going to look like, they give her a name, they’ll set up a little closet or space to store the doll, and it becomes a personality. It becomes a presence in their home. And I’m not going to judge, nor do I think anyone else should judge them for that.”
