May 2014 Portraits

[Deval]

Great job Deval; I know first hand what a task it is to get a 5 yo to pose AND stay in one place for a LF portrait!

Thanks. Next time I'll bring my synch chord for my flash

I feel like there are better crops for this, but each time I come back to the full frame.

I wouldn't change a thing, Mike, lovely composition and tonal structure. Well seen.

I met Peachy Pie at Anime LA 2014. She is a full time student majoring in art design, and has been going to anime cons for 5 years. While she makes her own costumes, she calls herself “pretty new” at sewing.

Peachy Pie: “The best part of cosplay is getting it done, wearing it, and becoming the character."

"If you play the game (Zelda games), Princess Agitha seems to have Aspergers. She is quirky and seems to be shy... she has “something”, like the positions of her hands. She won't really make eye contact very much. I have Aspergers myself, but it's not really bad. If people ask, I would tell them... Now that I am older, I can see from her that that's how I was.”

It took me another 5+ months to connect with Peachy Pie to photograph her "out of costumes."

Noel "Random Nerdom" cosplays as Rorschach. QUOTES: "There is something I like about masks. You cannot see the emotions on the face. Everything has to be conveyed with voice and body language. Something ominous about comic book characters in general wearing masks."

"The kind of cosplay I like to do are in the spectrum of anti-heroes - they are out to do good, but the ways they do it is not the best... a kind of chaotic good."

I love this one.
