Cosplay Photography

Cosplay is amazing, but so are the people behind the cameras! Next month's cosplayer feature is going to be a cosplay photographer, but I am afraid I am not sure who to pick! There are so many talented photographers out there I thought I would get your opinion. You can comment here, on Facebook, or send me an e-mail (VFireprops@ gmail.com) suggesting your favorite cosplay photographer. Please link me their webpage or contact information so I can get a hold of them.

I will choose a photographer based on their work and what you have to say about them! What makes your friendly cosplay photographer your favorite? Who do you think would be willing to share their talent here on the Stitch and Seam? I will be choosing a photographer (or more!) by this Friday, April 26th, 2013 so send your suggestions!

VFire's favorite photographer is her best friend Sadee.
We both take pictures but have much to learn.

I will also include steps that I do that are not necessary in parenthesis()

I was commissioned to build the Auron Katana by Lolita Zombie Cosplay and knew immediately that I wanted it to be light, yet durable. The first step to building any prop is figuring out what you’re going to make it out of. A lot of prop makers use light woods like poplar and MDF and while I have used some wood I decided it would be my first sword that I built e…

Ep. 010 - Cosplay Contests 101

This episode will be the first in a series. The series will start in a few weeks as we get through some old episodes, but we wanted to get some hype going and get questions brewing about cosplay contests. This first episode covers some basics and questions/answers from cosplayers in our community.

We hope this summary episode gives everyone a good idea of how to prep for a contest and what to expect if you have never heard of one before.

Thank you for listening. We are loving the feedback and Horror Stories. You all rock!
