Anyone else into cosplay?
I love cosplay. I've done some cosplay shoots and have been to a few cosplay events in California and in J-world. There's just something about cosplay I really like. Anyone else like to photograph cosplay or dress up? .....and if you dress up, who or what do you like to dress up as? May 14 06 07:03 pm Link I've got a shot in my portfolio of me dressed as Julia from Cowboy Bebop. Yaya Han has a portfolio on here somewhere, too. May 14 06 07:11 pm Link well that makes 2, or 3..:-)) May 14 06 11:53 pm Link Wow, had to Google "cosplpay," you just introduced me to a whole new world... I'm not into Anime myself, but the costumes look like they could be really fun to shoot. We do make an annual trek to the local Renaissance Faire, where I usually don a breacan feile (a hand-pleated "great kilt"), some nice boots and accessories, a terrible Scottish accent, and my decidedly anachronistic 70-200mm f/2.8L. May 15 06 12:40 am Link I've done 2 cosplay shoots and had the images up for a while. i would love to do more but there don't seem to be many interested CosPlayers in AZ... not even for free pics!!!

Working on a Talim from SS2('Cause the new costume is terrible) cosplay for Otakon this year. May 15 06 12:49 am Link c'est quoi "cosplay"? sorry, English is not my strongest language ... fml May 15 06 12:53 am Link FML-Photography wrote: Adults dressing up as cartoon characters May 15 06 01:30 am Link Cosplay is short for costume play, dressing up as characters from Anime aka Japanese animation. I like to shoot at Science Fiction Masquerades whuch are similiar. May 15 06 01:34 am Link May 15 06 01:36 am Link On a number of recent occasions, when I have been dressed in kimono to give or attend lectures on traditional Japanese culture, I have been asked if I am involved in cosplay. To which I have replied, "No, this is the real me!" May 15 06 05:39 am Link Thought I was going to get to shoot a Cosplayer from MM this year, but she's kind of vanished.. So no clue.. Shooting the people who dressed up to go to ComicCon last year is what got me interested in shooting.. Hoping to take some vacation time and shoot the whole 4 days of the con this year.. May 15 06 09:28 am Link I cosplay, and it's a blast! It's a great way to combine many different forms of creative talent. I've got quite a few of my cosplay pics up in my MM port, but you can find them all at www.cosplaykitten.com. May 24 06 02:34 pm Link I luv to cosplay : ) Its so much fun, a LOT of ppl consider it weird and scary but to me its just like halloween ^_^ some ppl take it really serious and liek to think/pretend as the character that theyre cosplaying as, so it can be more fun, and i guess ppl find that really weird...but i guess its how you do it ^_^ but anyways i luv cosplay and i never ever can find a photographer to take a photoshoot w/ me : ( which is a bummer May 24 06 04:27 pm Link This cosplay is some cool stuff! Ive seen people with costumes, but didnt know it had a "title". May 24 06 04:39 pm Link Heidi Rogers wrote: SMALL WORLD! I was at Katsucon this year to bring down, setup and run the Classic Coin-Op Arcade room and ended up snapping some pictures of you and the other girl with you, amonst a few others. Send me your email and I'll give you copies. May 24 06 04:59 pm Link I havnt done strict cosplay, but i loove dressing up! May 24 06 05:08 pm Link I love designing cosplay outfits. I get the CosMode magazine - it's really a nice reference to have.

That still cracks me up. I lifted the back and let him see the glass and he was wondering why everything was backwards and upside down. Ah well. I have an image from that trip in my portfolio, the woodworker one. May 24 06 05:15 pm Link love it! would like to do some cosplay related photo shoots one day but havent seen any photographers yet that have any work in that style *icca* May 24 06 05:17 pm Link I've been known to dress up as Sailor Mars and Chun Li. I don't make my own costumes (or go to conventions) though, so I don't do it very often. May 24 06 06:21 pm Link I am into it, I have done some costuming and I have shot it... good times. May 24 06 06:23 pm Link yep, next weekend I'll be cos playing as Lum at Metrocon. I've also done Umi from magic knight rayearth, shampoo years ago, various goth lolita outfits, catwoman (various versions) & dawn May 25 06 10:37 pm Link I LOVE to cosplay! that used to be bassicaly my life. I have cosplayed as so many differnet people. Inyasha (Inuyasha), Kagome (Inuyasha), Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi) Minako Anio (Sailor Moon), Chii (Chobits), Dark Chii (Chobits), Edward (Cowboy Bebop). One of my chii costumes was actually my prom dress.. ^___^ I have yet to have anyone really wanna do a shoot with me involving cosplaying... I guess photographers around here just don't like that kinda work.  May 25 06 10:51 pm Link Love cosplay! Can't cosplay myself, but I greatly enjoy photographing and seeing people give it their all with the effort they put into their costumes, makeup, and routines. Been attending Anime Expo(Anaheim, California or Long Beach, California) since 1994. Skipped 2004 to visit Japan. Skipped 2005 since my wife was pregnant. And will be attending 2006.  Have also given FanimeCon(San Jose, California) a try. Also interested in giving Yaoi-con in San Francisco a visit. I hear Japan Town in San Francisco will be holding an Anime convention of their own this year, so if I have the time, will be attending that one to see all the cool cosplayers. Btw, who all is attending Anime Expo in Anaheim in July?

May 26 06 07:54 am Link ....ok.....ok.....OK!...... I am a sucker for it too.....There I said it...... May 26 06 08:07 am Link Wing Wong wrote: I'll be there.

If I were able to, one of my first ones would probably be Sango from "InuYasha". She kicks demon booty. ^_^ Sara May 26 06 02:34 pm Link I do a loooot of cosplay... if you're in Northern California, come on over. Hell, we have a whole website devoted to it. You can do much better photos in private, where the backgrounds can be controlled; but if you like to be photographed, you'll be overwhelmed at a big con, if you have a good costume. Ask pegasumaiden. We'll be at AX on the 4th, AniMagic in October. Come find us. Jun 06 06 08:43 pm Link Josie Nutter wrote: Ooo, Chun Li, show us your Chun Li! Jun 06 06 08:55 pm Link I love cosplay, but haven't done much of it yet. I want to do some soon. Does anyone know if there are any conventions in Europe? I want to get to a convention sometime for more ideas. There is a great shop in lower Alabama that carries wigs and costumes of all sorts. I got some ideas from there. It's called Out on a Whim. They have some goth wigs, and all other types...but I had to get creative for my geisha costume, as they didn't have a wig for a geisha there. Jun 06 06 11:38 pm Link I don't really do cosplay but I love to watch it. If I did cosplay It'd be either as NANA, someone from Alchino or as evil Chi from Chobits. I think I'd pull off NANA the best. Jun 07 06 12:19 am Link Hi - yeah, we're going to AX. Working on setting up a shoot with 3 female models either friday, June 30, or on one of the slower days. If you're interested in joining us, let me know! Curt Jun 07 06 12:20 am Link In honor of this thread, and because I want to... I'll put up at least 2 new cosplay photos every week. Jun 07 06 07:18 pm Link I like dressing up and acting out Hentai! Jun 07 06 07:38 pm Link Lexi Evans wrote: Ooo, bad girl! Bad! Jun 07 06 07:57 pm Link J Schumacher wrote: Moi?? Never! Jun 07 06 08:26 pm Link I have no idea what you are talking about... I'd never dress a model up like a persona from bladerunner... Jun 07 06 10:09 pm Link |
