One more photo post from the vaults before Wicked Faire. These are also from Anime Next 2008, posted up to last week. On Friday of the con, I met up with , who was wearing her Rockstar Mikuru outfit from the anime
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. (Yea, say that 5 times fast.) We did a small shoot outdoors before she had to run off to some panels.
You will be seeing more sets of her that I have taken, and hopefully will continue to take, over time.
Since this is about photography and costuming, it seems appropriate to start off with a photoset post
One of my regular conventions is Anime Next held in the summer in New Jersey. When my good friend and occasional model told me should would finally be wearing her Chun Li outfit at the same time I would be present, we quickly planned a photoshoot.
I had been looking to do this set for some time. Being an old scool gamer, I cut my fighting game teeth on a relatively new console at the time, Street Fighter II. As I found that quick and nimble characters worked best with my style, Chun Li became my primary character. I spent a lot of time playing street fighter with friends at the time.
We ended up shooting a more relaxed and playful set. Less fighting poses, more glamour style.
