My name is Mike, and I am a cosplay photographer who is looking to capture photos of cosplayers. In addition to cosplay, I am also willing to shoot fashion, boudoir, lingerie, swimsuit, nude, implied nude, and more.

I have worked off and on with photography since 2007. Since this is something I love doing, most of the photo shoots I've done have either been free or for a very low cost (depending on the distance I have to travel). Tips are always welcome.

As I said, this is something I love doing, and I normally cannot pay models for shoots. So, if you are a model looking for PAID assignments only, then please keep looking. However, should you change your mind or decide to make an exception, let me know.

After a photo shoot with me, the model(s) will usually receive three to five edited digital photos of some of our best shots within a week of shooting, perhaps more if we did a longer shoot or if more great photos were captured than expected. I do not offer physical prints. However, you are welcome to make prints at your own cost, and I can provide a copyright release if needed.

On average, most of my sessions last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (however, I've gone as much as THREE hours before!). It mainly just depends on the model and the number of ideas we each have. The model or subject may stop the shoot at any time he or she wishes.

The REAL magic happens after the shoot when I begin touching-up photos during the editing process, which usually starts after I return home from a shoot. However, if a model wishes to get copies of the edited photos, she may provide me with an e-mail address and I will GLADLY e-mail them as I complete them or share them on Google Drive, Dropbox, or some other similar service.

I prefer to shoot outdoors on location in parks, on beaches, etc. However, I do have a backdrop and photography setup on the second floor of my apartment (photo in photo section).

Types of work I offer:
- I usually photograph for trade only (tips are welcome).
- If I'm required to travel more than 60 miles to meet you, I may require fuel compensation. I will let you know ahead of time.
- Usually within a week of our photo session, you can expect to receive three to five edited photos of our best shots. I usually take multiple shots of the same pose at different angles. I do not edit EVERY photo.
- After a session, I will work on photo edits at my convenience. Keep in mind, I do have a daily life of my own (work, family, etc.). I will always work on photos as I can.
- After I have edited a few of my favorites, I will share the rest of them with you via Google Drive, Dropbox, or some other similar service.

Disclaimers:
- A model is welcome to print their photos as they wish, and at their own cost. I can provide a Copyright Release upon request, either in person or via e-mail.
- Unedited photos will not contain a watermark. A model is welcome to use photos online as they wish (Facebook, deviantART, etc.). However, photo credit is appreciated.
- Edited photos will contain the EmeraldCoastCosplay.com watermark in one corner of the image. Please do not remove or crop the watermark out of the image when posting online or printing. If you need a cropped version of an edited photo, just let me know what dimensions you need, and I will provide you a new cropped image with the watermark.
- When meeting me for a photo shoot, models may bring one person with them that they trust (friend, boyfriend, fiance, husband, sibling, parent, etc.)
- I will not shoot models or individuals under the age of 18 without a parent or grandparent present. Be sure to bring proof of age, just in case. I will have a waiver for the parent to sign at the end of our photo session stating they were present and witnessed our photo shoot from start to finish.
- I will not shoot models or individuals under the age of 18 in sexy or suggestive positions, boudoir or lingerie, or in other suggesting attire, no matter if the parent or grandparent approves.
- If shooting nude or topless, I must require proof of age (no matter how old you are). It doesn't matter if you are 18 or 80. Individuals must be at least 18 years of age or older to shoot nude with me.
