5 Beginner<br />
mistakes to<br />
avoid when<br />
taking cosplay<br />
photos.<br />
The fun thing about cosplay photography<br />
is that you have a great subject<br />
to photograph. That’s a great<br />
start to any photo session. So how<br />
do we avoid simple mistakes to ensure<br />
your subject is photographed<br />
in a way that compliments their cosplay?<br />
Let’s take a look at 5 mistakes<br />
you should avoid when doing cosplay<br />
photos.<br />
1. Context<br />
So you’ve got an awesome Harley<br />
Qunn cosplay going on. But what<br />
are you using for a background?<br />
Researching the character will give<br />
you insights as to what will work and<br />
what won’t. A poor background can<br />
spoil your photo. So do your homework,<br />
check out what backgrounds<br />
the character suits, then do some<br />
background scouting. Take a walk or<br />
drive in your area and make notes on<br />
places you think will work as a good<br />
background. Remember to be safe<br />
- don’t take risks and don’t shoot in<br />
areas that are dangerous.
