PHOTO TIPS WHY TAKING TIME FROM SHOOTING COSP BETTER PHO This article isn’t for the casual photographer that loves to go along to XYZ Con and shoot some cool photos of cosplayers and that’s them done for the month and or year. No, this is for the photographer that wants to get better. Wants to improve themselves as an artist. Firstly though, I want to explain how cosplay can help you become better as an artist. The main benefits of cosplay photography is you don’t have to worry about make up, hair styling and even models - if you know some cosplayers they’ll usually happily organise a shoot with you. What you do need to do though, is ensure your location matches the character or mood of the shoot. If you’re at a “con” the challenge is that the background is often a bunch of people walking around having fun. So, what I tend to do is treat a con shoot as almost a journalistic style shoot - capturing the day and the colour and costumes of the event. Cosplayers know their characters and generally know how to pose to suit. So you end up with much of the photo worked out before you even shoot. So how does other genre’s help you improve? Some time back, on a cold winters day, I was walking the city streets wanting to do some street photography and after a while I noticed myself exploring angles and shadows. I took the time to seek out these subjects as I walked. I forced myself to try getting lower down, to climb higher places and to really look at how shadows intersected walls or even people. Taking notice of these things got me thinking about applying more drama in my portrait work, using shadows more creatively. Angles reminded me how if I’m up high shooting down, you can make a subject look a bit submissive. Shoot from a lower angle and the subject grows taller and more dominant. Characters like Batman are strong characters and perhaps a slight angle shooting up toward them will give them a stronger more dominant and powerful feel. Also shadows can really enhance the mood of the Dark Knight. Experiment with light, colour, angles and mood and then apply it to your next cosplay shoot so that you may grow in your art. Take a look at some of the most creative photographers on the web and you’ll see experiments in light and angles that can make a mundane photo become a photo that pops off the screen and grabs your attention.
