Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at the "Paris manga" a pop culture convention. I was walking with my friend among the crowd when she suddenly pointed to a cosplayer with a big armor and a big sword. Everybody was looking at him, and my friend said to me : "Ask him if you can take a picture, he's so badass !" That's what I did, and the cosplayer and I decided to use the black wall from a stand to have a proper background.Time
It was in the afternoon.Lighting
Most of the time, the lighting in exhibitions are pretty bad .. . However, we were lucky to have a soft light in the corner of the area.Equipment
I used my Lumix DMC-FZ48 and nothing else !Inspiration
As a big fan of fantasy and MMORPG, I couldn't miss the famous character of the Lich King from World of Warcraft. Knights, magic and epicness are one of the things that motivate me for taking pictures and this cosplay with so much details is fascinating ! It's always a pleasure for me to highlight the details of a great costume :)Editing
My post-processing was very simple : I added some brightness, a gradient fill (black and white) and a gradient map to give a "cinematic look" to the picture. Moreover, I worked on the bright eyes and amplified the led lights on the sword and helmet.In my camera bag
Presently, I have my camera (Lumix DMC-FZ48), a Neewer reflector and light trepod and a multi-color LED light.Feedback
When we talk about Cosplay Photography, it's important to focus on the roleplay but also showcase all the details of the cosplay from head to toes.
