Photoshoot: Cherry Blossom, A Peaceful Day

When I found out Stardust Megu was cosplaying best boy Cherry Blossom from Sk8: The Infiniti, I had to jump on this! Not just because Cherry Blossom is my favorite character in the series, but also Megu is a talented cosplayer who I have seen over the years getting better and better! So we found a nice park and did some amazing portrait style shots. Why? Peace. One thing Cherry Blossom could use is a peaceful day.

Photoshoot: Arnold & Helga… Shortaki!

So out of the blue, my friend Esme asked me if I would do a photoshoot with her. Sure, absolutely! She told me that it’s not anime, but basically one of her favorite fandoms… Hey Arnold!. I said I’d do it. I didn’t watch the entire series, but I did watch episodes here and there, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And her friend Jess, who remembers me as Ranma Saotome, was involved and excited too! And I have to say, this is one of those photoshoots where you look at the photos, you can hear it!

Photoshoot: Vera, A Smile Goes a Long Way

Kirameki Cosplay is a longtime friend of mine. I didn’t even realize how long we have been friends until I checked the date on these photos. What I like about her is the smiles she has when she’s at cons cosplaying. It just melts your heart. And you’re gonna love this shoot and her smile, especially if you’re a Tales of… fan!

Photoshoot: Himiko Toga, A Portrait…

Here we are with one of my favorite characters from My Hero Academia, Himiko Toga. I was in town visiting someone, and I had mentioned to Lewd Waifu Cosplay that I’d be in the area we should shoot. And the timing was perfect. We shot this in the foyer of the apartment building that I was staying at. I think these came out pretty well, given that my speedlight was acting up.
