Imitating famous art I
Art is cool, but SIMified art is so much cooler!
I've decided to imitate Warhol's Marilyn set.

After making a Marilyn sim and giving her a scary popart makeover,

I set up the room with invisible lights and blue wallpaper as my background. Because I need Marilyn to have the same expression in all of the shots, I resorted to using one of the frozen animations that makes the sim smile.
Open the cheat window and type "testingcheatsenabled on", then "moviemakercheatsenabled on". Shift+click the sim and choose "Animation...". After fiddling with different static animations, I settled on the the one called "Loading Screen y sim", found in "Play Specific Looping Animation"->Misc->Loading Screen y sim.

The tricky part for this photograph set (just like the seasonal set) will be your camera positioning because you want all shots to look the same in terms of angle and zoom scale. The easiest way to achieve identical (or at best, very close) camera angles is to focus on some kind of aspect of the object you're photographing in relation to the marked center of the photo frame slot.
For this set, I focused on the center of Marilyn's T-zone. I also set a fixed amount of zoom-in ticks (3 clicks of "Z") to have the same zoom on all of the frames.

Once you've captured your first photo, shift+click Marilyn and "Edit in Create A Sim" to change her appearance for your next shot. Cancel her looping animation because after being done with C-A-S, her head will start turning and her posture will not be the same. Make her do the "Loading Screen y sim" looping animation again and remember to change the colour of wallpaper background.

Keep doing the same for your next 2 or however many shots you want, then enjoy the beautiful fruits of your labour.
