Improving myself in 2020

Every year, I set myself a yearly challenge to help myself improve my photography so my skills doesn’t plateau or show no signs of improving. There is always something new in both cosplay and photography that can be learned each year.

Here are some of the key aspect I want to focus on this year.

Better Pose to better Story Tell

I always admire the work of my good friend Anna S Photography where she “Story tells” in her photos.

I’m going to make sure at Comic-Con Events that one photo from the shoot, I attempt to create a photo which tells a story like this.

Lights, Lights, Lights

I’ve recently started using more lights in my photography. They are only constant light stick but they have been useful in some shots I took towards the end of 2019.

I’m going to start saving up money to buy a proper outdoor light rig (Light Flash, modifiers and stand) for those more planned shoots at Comic-Con events or locations shoots. For those more portable situation, might consider carrying two light sticks for greater effect.

More Location & Studio shoots

Linking to the previous aspect, I want to do more location shoots both cosplay and fashion shoot. I’ve started venturing out into different areas of photography with my other photography brand, AitchKayCee.

I feel like I should have promoted myself more for more location shoots over last year. I am going to share more photos I did shoot on locations last year and remind people I can be hired for location shoots.

I also want to shoot in studios this year. I was fortunate enough to have shot photos Montrose Studio in Manchester and it was amazing. Just everything what I needed to learn and use at this studio. I hope to improve my skills in a studio environment.

Please keep feeling me on my social media pages to keep tabs on my progress throughout the year and also keep an eye out for booking opportunity throughout the year.

Cosplay Stories : Lara Croft by djcroft_

Cosplayer : djcroft_ Photo : mandragora_media I’ve always wanted to be Lara Croft because of how strong, confident, bold, and how fun she is as a character . My cosplay journey started back in 2016 when I was inspired to do a genderbend Lara Croft cosplay. I started learning how to make costumes out from scratch by watching others online make their cosplay from scratch from different material. My Lara Croft cosplay has dramatically increased from starting off with using cardboard to build the classic backpack and holsters to knowing how to work with eva foam, hand paint, other materials to make the backpack, holsters, boots, other accessories! I also have found new and better ways to build my costume pieces compared to the more simplistic why I used tk start out. Also from the character perspective my poses and facial expressions has evolved as well I pose better as Lara Croft now and have more of a variety of poses now compared to when I first started Cosplay has taught me that it’s okay to be myself and to love feeling like a badass in character. I used to get put down so much for simply being me and looking like me from my past and cosplay has shown me that I am awesome and I am good enough and I am not what happened to me in rhe past.  My definition of being successful in cosplay is when you actually start to realize you enjoy what you do. It’s not about the fame or followers count. It’s about feeling free and happiness and content with what you put out there and to inspire someone else to do the same thing you are doing? That speaks volumes! That to me is success! Cosplay shouldn’t feel like dreading work! It should feel like a fantasy world!

MCM London May 2024 Photoshoot Schedule

The time has come and you can book your slot with me. Please read the instructions carefully. Please pick which day, and time slot and detail me the cosplay you’d like me to shoot. Please only book with me if you know what cosplay you want to shoot with me. If you do not declare your cosplay, I will cancel the appointment Pick a time that you can reasonably get to me. If on the day you are running late, I won’t be able to reschedule and you will forfeit your time slot as I do not want a knock-on effect of running late for my other appointments. If you pick more than one slot, I can choose which cosplay I like to shoot. This isn’t a reflection on your cosplay but I want to give everyone a chance to shoot with me at least once over the weekend.  Last thing, I won’t be accepting any group shoots as they affect my anxiety and can cause stress on me. Please note: I am not accepting any group shoots. I’ll consider a duo shoot. Should there be slots available after the first round, I’ll allow people to book me up for a second slot. If you miss out on a slot, do not worry, I’ll be at the event all three days so if you spot me, do come and stop me and we can get a quick photo together. Good luck and hopefully I’ll see you at Comic-Con. Like this:Like Loading... [...] Read more...
