New York Comic Con isn’t too far away, and every year lots of photographers and people who call themselves photographers converge on the area to take pictures of cosplayers. Cosplay, for those not aware, is a portmanteau of costume and play–and it ranges back to ancient Chinese culture. And so at conventions, people often dress up as characters.
While some will sit there and simply snap photos of someone’s costume, others will actually try to create full shoots. And one of those photographers is Beethy. He has been well known in the cosplay community for a while. He recently sat down to talk with us about cosplay photography, honing your craft and how to make your portfolio of images better.
This interview will help the cosplayers out there that want to be photographic, in their favorite characters attire. From finding a background that benefits the contrast of colors in the costume to the mood you want to set. And lighting will be essential in creating the world, that is needed to achieve perfection.
