safety_caesars and I are tossing around the idea of going into cosplay photography together. For any of you who doubt, we're both experienced photographers; I've shot portraits and weddings and have the equipment (and the minor) (and the darkroom and enlarger) to prove it (my photography peen stays hidden, but it is there), and Becky is much the same. We work pretty well as a team and I think it would be awesome to have two people shooting portraits/scenes -- double the photos in the same amount of time, someone to hold equipment for the other when needed, PLUS two different styles so there's something for everyone. We'd even stay (mostly) sober!

We'd like to start off small, because we still want to con and cosplay, instead of suddenly filling our time with 1,000 ridiculous photo shoots. But I know a lot of you plan cosplays, even little silly ones, so I'm just throwing it out there.

(PS: It would totally get us to come to more cons (ACEN?) just fyi.)

The answer is yes.

And I'm planning on going to Acen this year, since I'm not in school.

[temples]

Plus, guess who can print your pictures for free should you need it!

Hint: It's me!

[lassarina]

OMG YES PLEASE COME TO ACEN

WE WILL GET A HOTEL ROOM AND DRINK TOGETHER

[justira]

Can this endeavour spill over into musician photos? I liked the ones you took of me and I want to do more!!

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. I actually really want to do music-related photography :D

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

Yayy! I have a flutist friend who's always posting these crazy artsy photos of herself with her flute on FB.

PS- Kas mentioned getting together the 20th for drinking and fun times. Yes? I think this needs to happen. I know you move that weekend, but Friday night should be okay, right? :D

[mithrigil.livejournal.com]

I totally think this is an awesome idea and not just because I want to see you at more cons. AUSA?

[ifotismeni]

i can very likely speak safely for both ger and myself to say we'd love to see you guys in boston. honestly? i'd bust out my kefka for you guys. ;)

omg kefka + shiva photoshoot XDDDDDDDD *is dead*

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

okay now you HAVE to come to Boston because I want Maria to wear Kefka again XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

And yes, I would even wear Shiva again. *dead*

[ifotismeni]

*DIES*

omg ger do you want to do shiva + kefka? THE GREAT PAINTED DEBATE?

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

YES PLZ

[ifotismeni]

XDDDDDDDDDD

the photoshoot would have to be in like 4 in the afternoon in order to give us both time to get ready. ahahahh XDDDD ahahahha oh my god like... what an amazingly colorful photoshoot that would be XDDDDDDDDDDDD

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

We can have FUN PAINTING TIMEZ in the bathroom.

And long fingernail cat fights.

[ifotismeni]

*wipes tears* AHAHHAHA i volunteer your house for this XDDDDDDDDDDD

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

Poor Shane!!!

[ifotismeni]

he can be a sabin/brother hybrid!!! sabin hair + brother tattoo + sabin shirt + sabin claws + brother pants... and a blitzball.

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

Okay this is like the most awesome idea ever, except most of Sabin's costume no longer exists XDDDDD because I cut up the wig to make Brother and stole other bits to make other things.

[ifotismeni]

hahah so brother hair + sabin claws + brother pants with tattoo but sabin belt?
XD

KEKEK

[ifotismeni]

also? neither of us will be able to walk anywhere. we might have to be transported in a palanquin or something *shiva diva*

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

Like Hotohori in Fushigi Yuugi?

We need Emily to come with her chocobo costume, and then she can carry us.

[ifotismeni]

also good thing i didn't get rid of my wig xDDD

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

hahaha yeah after I calmed down from Otakon, I'm now glad I saved most of my stuff, even the fingernails (which are all stuck together in a clump in the box, I'm sure)

I'll have to remake the bikini and bra and ice, but I wasn't happy with the bikini and bra to begin with, and the ice takes like 5 minutes to make.

[ifotismeni]

there will be so much magic in this photoshoot. VERY LITERALLY. i mean shiva's an esper and kefka's A GOD so it's like kefka went ahead a few games to get an esper from a different universe for shits and giggles just 'cause he can.

[darcenciel.livejournal.com]

EPIC.

It's like............Amano vs. Nomura.

Very, very much in for allowing myself to be a guinea pig. I'm bringing some fairly elaborate shit to Ohayo, so we'll see you there. :D

[fallnangelspike.livejournal.com]

Nekkid Seifer?????? SURE!

Actually, in all seriousness, I might take you up on it. I know there's a few costumes I want real good shots in.

If you need an assistant, pack mule, anything I can be paid in beer!

[red-mage-jerry.livejournal.com]

Well, if'n you ever need a model and I'm in the general vicinity (read as: the next state or so), just give me a yell - you've seen some of my work, so you know what to expect =)
