This image stood out to me like a sore thumb. Here we have three fantastic models looking right into my soul. As a cosplay photographer, I can appreciate how much time it took to get this image together. The costumes, make-up, hairdresser and getting the lighting spot on is a days work in itself. You have thought about your camera angle plus posing the models to get the desired effect. Then, your post editing has really finished off the image. Every element in this shot blends so well together. Well done! :)

In this contest I want to see your colour photographs of people wearing cosplay costumes. Cosplay is defined as the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game. The images can be shot in studio or at conventions, carnivals, street performances, or anywhere you find people in cosplay costumes. Please only enter photos in colour.

This is a great image. Well composed, great location and the way you have lit it with 2 Speedlight's is spot on. The only suggestion I have would be to edit the car out as I find it distracting. That's my OCD kicking in but I do believe it will be a stronger image without the car. Well done and I'm sure you had heaps of fun shooting it :)
This image is so well put together. The light is positioned well to create a moody shot which suits the character, the pose is great and, even the expression on the models face works well. I noticed you have added steam to the cup of tea? (or is that real) which is a nice touch. I'm pleased to see that there is a splash of light falling onto the peacock feather which opens the top right corner otherwise it would have been a black area. It takes so much time to get a model ready for these cosplay shots but it certainly pays off and this image shows us that. Well done. :)
This is awesome! The choice of the pink background makes this image sweet and cute but then, when you really study the character its like, 'Hang on...is this Ronald McDonald the serial killer?" The lighting is perfect, not low key and moody as you would expect from a horror portrait but, bright and happy like we might use photographing children in the studio. So many well used crossovers. Well done! :)
This is such a strong image. The simplicity of the central composition works really well bringing the viewers attention straight to the subject. I read in the details how you lit it and considering this was not shot in studio, you have created an incredible well lit image that suits the subject. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple setup, no fancy studio equipment. The only suggestion I have is the blue highlight area on the right side of the face and armor is a bit flat. I know you were using a lamp but, if you moved it closer to the model the highlight would have been brighter and more saturated? But otherwise, an awesome image with limited tools at your disposal. Fantastic! :)
