*A+ Cosplay Updated - 5/13/2008.*

Just two days to go till I streak out over the heavens above the United States in a shiney Boeing 777 to Chicago for ACEN. It's all :iconchicochan: fault! I had never heard of ACEN, believe it or not, until I was complementing one of her cosplay outfits on Cosplay.com and she told me about the convention and if I'd like to do photowork with her that's where she would be. It was iffy at first. Money and time needed were scarce and I was having a hard time convincing my girlfriend that we should go, get out of Texas for once, go see how the North does cosplay. She was not very warm to the idea until she discovered that HaliCali was one of the musical guests of honor. In less than a second she went from.. Ehhh... to OMG! WE ARE GOING! So wallah! She gets to see one of her favorite J-Rock/Pop bands and I get to do photowork with some amazingly talented cosplayers.

I have so much to do today! @_@ I have to clean all the photo gear, buy new clothes, get a hair cut, start deciding what to pack and what to leave, ahhhhh! @_@

Expect to see a lot of photos start popping up here after ACEN. I am going to be busy for the next month editing photos from all these shoots. It should take me about two weeks to process all the shots from ACEN just in time to do it all again for A-KON in Dallas. Busy Photographer = Happy Photographer!

Also! Casting call! Well, not really a casting call but if you know a cosplayer that runs around here on DeviantART and I don't have them below in the Cosplayer list please let me know so I can expanded the database and make my page a one stop shop for finding good cosplayers around the community here. Thanks in advance everyone!

This month's featured cospalyer is Korovyev. I met this talented cosplayer at AnimeFest 2007 and have had the opportunity to work with her now on several shoots. She's the kind of cosplayer I love to work with because she takes direction well and is laid back and attentive. Her outfits that I've shot include one of the best Midna's (Legend of Zelda) that I've seen, the sexy Yoko Ritona from Gurren Lagen and the artsy Gankutsuou series's Haydee. She's an active member of the Tx Metroplex Cosplay Coalition in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. More of her work can be seen at Cosplay.com under the same name as the one listed here. Enjoy the photos below of her amazing cosplay!



This list is subject to change as I get closer to the con dates and determine my financial situation. Here is the list as it currently stands.

Anime Central - May 16th-18th - Chicago, IL (Confirmed)
A-Kon 19 - May 30th- June 1st - Dallas, TX (Confirmed)
MechaCon - Aug. 1st-3rd - Lafayette, LA
Tokyo in Tulsa - TBD - Tulsa, OK
AnimeFest - Aug. 29th-Sept. 1st - Dallas, TX (Confirmed)
AnimeWeekendAtlanta(AWA) - Sept. 19th-21st - Atlanta, GA
SanJapan - TBD - San Antonio, TX
Onicon - TBD - Houston, TX
Izumicon - TBD - OKC, OK

If you are a cosplayer and you are going to be at any of these conventions and you want to schedule a personal shoot time feel free to NOTE me.

Hehehehe. You'd be amazed how many cosplayers don't think I have an account here. :D Thanks for the watch!
*Kuragiman:iconKuragiman: Mar 20, 2008, 6:12:18 AM
*^_^* You may since no one ever thinks so, at least not out loud. I use a Canon 30D with 24-70mm 2.8L Canon lens attached for most of my work. Thanks for the warm comment!

All your cosplay shots are so amazing, you're a brilliant photographer if you don't mind me saying so :D
May I ask what kind of camera you use for such professional shots?

I've left you many comments and favs.- you got a lot of great stuff in your gallery. I look forward to seeing more cosplay pics from you- I'm not hitting the con scene like I was able to in 2008- I unfortunately will most likely not be able to visit ACEN, either, despite it being a place where I could go home and stay there, eliminating the hotel costs. I will be going to Tekkoshocon in Pittsburgh in mid-April, so be sure and check my gallery after that, I'll definately have some cool stuff up!

Texas has tons of cons , I wish I lived somewhere that had a lot of cons in a moderate radius, due to my current work schedule., I can't really get off for a con, but I could visit for almost the whole day, depnding on the distance from me. Keep up the good work!

Btw, Carrie Savage is going to be at this con, I noticed that you're an Ikki Tousen fan as well. Have you had a chance to meet her yet?
