Animazement 2013 Private Photoshoots

I will be offering private photoshoots at my first Animazement. As a cosplayer and cosplay photographer, I have collaborated with some of the best out there.

For those unable to book me I have set aside a time to take several hallway shots if you can find me. I am also considering hosting some sort of "Photo Hour" which would be open to anybody. That way everyone can get atleast one with me. However organizing a shoot will guarantee and garner best results.

- Rates, Payment, Times, Etc -

Sessions generally run 30-45 minutes or as I would like to say "When we're done". Afterwards I like to review the photos to ensure everybody (including myself) involved is happy.

Following the convention I will provide the photos within a month via FlickR pro, FaceBook and E-Mail. I edit all of my photos with great care to give a natural and unique look to each individual photo. I usually will provide high resolution/watermark free upon request with no extra charge, but due to the large file sizes this often takes more time.

- Posing -
Being both a seasoned photographer and filmmaker I can help you pose by giving strong direction. However I encourage you to have some ideas in mind or to be familiar with your character so we can collaborate a motivation for each shot. Please have a strong sense of who your character is so we can discuss ideas together and at the convention.

*** Please check your costume prior to avoid loose pieces, anything turned inside out or convention badges getting in the photo. The less post work for me, the faster I can provide the photos for you.

- Location -
Location is also very important and having some ideas on this will allow more time for photos. Being familiar with your character you should be able to pick areas that would be appropriate. Multiple areas are fine as long as time permits and they are researched ahead of time. I will also be scouting the area during the convention.

- Lighting -
I prefer to shoot with natural lighting, but I am now able to provide external lighting which is necessary for shooting at night or in darker areas. If this is ideal for you then please be mindful of any rules that may or may not prohibit the use of the set up. Using proper flash photography can become very time consuming so be aware that the amount of photos provided may be less than those shot during the day.

Good Location: Isolated place at twilight with the city in the background
Bad Location: The convention hallway
