Has been shooting since: The darkroom days back in the 90sĪll the normal photography rules with regards to composition and lighting apply, but everyone has read about those a million times and frankly they are a distant second to the more important element: the subject.Ĭontent is king, and in this case, the content is cosplay – literally “costume play”. Shoots with: Nikon D850, but I’ll shoot with anything I can get my hands on, including Fuji, Hasselblad, film and my cell phone
If you’re a professional photographer looking to immortalize some beautiful costumes this time of year, these cosplay photogs have some tips for you. Halloween, then, is the one time of year when everyone else on the planet takes a cue from the cosplay world. Some people, after all, do this kind of thing year-round – cosplayers take costuming to a whole other level, travelling around countries, connecting with sponsor brands and partnering with professional cosplay photographers to create beautiful recreations of their favorite movies, games and anime. So, if you’re putting the effort into the costume, why not put some effort into the photos? After that, all that will survive are the photos. Some folks spend months planning their costume, days searching for the right accoutrements and hours physically creating the thing, crafting a memorable costume that they’ll wear for just one epic night of showing off to friends and strangers.
For some, Halloween is more than an excuse to get drunk and dress up in sexy versions of traditionally non-sexy people.
