cool work! looks like a lot of fun!

Great set! I loved the pictures. The music video on the other hand...I'll admit it kinda freaked me out.

I think Cosplay has to be one of the best things to shoot. The colors and costumes are phenom. Great photos.

I'd never heard of cosplay. Thanks for the knowledge.

I love to shoot cosplay because every time, I have to think about how to recreate the atmosphere of the original work, with my rather limited gear. Every shoot is a challenge, and at the same time a lot of fun because we're all amateurs and have no pressure on results.
Honestly the gorgeous costumes are just a bonus, I only accept shoots for characters that inspire me, because telling stories about them is what amuses me. I've done shoots with very casual costumes and since there's less eye candy, shots really have to tell something about characters to be interesting.
