Cosplay Arabia - January 2021

Cosplay Arabia • january 2021
up having to edit a ton of photos for
the people you shoot with. If you are
not invited to a con, you mostly end up
doing a lot of work for free. I miss cons
a lot however, as I love to meet both old
friends and make new connections. I
mainly like to shoot outdoor because
I have many nice and different styled
locations of all kinds around the place
I live and I enjoy being outside. Indoor
is mainly a good option in case of bad
weather conditions (there can be a
lot of rain in Europe!) and for special
themed shoots. We have some nice
rentable and well equipped self-service
studios - which again will need a cost
split agreement.
I also offer special shootings in my
spacious flat with a good studio setup
e.g. for very messy slime or body paint
or artificial blood shoots. I have a small
platform I use to create the illusion
of an action figure and also offer
something lik a festive season setup I
made recently.

Getting in touch with me is easiest
via Instagram. Here everyone can
easily check my work and style and
we can also exchange ideas before
switching to whatsapp where we’d get
into details and exchange info.

can be misunderstood, i.e. what
to shoot, where to shoot and also
when to shoot. My advice to make
this smooth for all participants is
to invest some time before on both
sides and decide on the above items.
Then agree utlizing a team work
approach on all the steps needed to
finally make the meet up happen. It’s
not very different from a business
meeting, you should always prepare
in advance, regardless if you are a
beginner or a pro.
Q. With everything you do and
plan to do in 2021 - what is the goal?
Given the current global situation,
my plans are limited and focus
around increasing my photography
as well as editing skills. If things
get better, I would love to visit at
least one convention, potentially
without my camera equipment
(which usually doesn’t happen)
and just meet the cosplayers and
photographers I’ve known from past
years. Finally get to meet them in
person again, have good talks and
make new contacts. I will try to plan
individual shootings if the situation
permits this year.
Q. Where do you primarily shoot
& how can a cosplayer get in touch
with you?
I used to shoot a lot at conventions,
which is truly motivating for
networking and meeting people but
can be exhausting because you end
Q. At the end of the day, what would
you like people to remember about
you?
I am very grateful for getting to
meet so many amazing people in
this community during the past few
years and I hope to at least leave some
kind of positive footprint with my
photography, mainly just to make
people smile. It would be nice if people
remember me as a creative, motivating,
open minded, reliable and friendly
human being.

ME AS A CREATIVE, MOTIVATING, OPEN
