Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

Photographer Spotlight: Shutterwolf Studios!

Cosplayer: Beke Cosplay

I also wanted to bring back the Photographer focused features for you all. I think the last couple of times this was done were on Martin Wong and Darshelle Stevens! Today, my bestie and fellow cosplayer Jawjarrose pointed me in the direction of Shutterwolf Studios! His work I've definitely seen and have used before in features such as ones with Georgia. So I went ahead and grabbed several of his shots to try and see if I can point out some similarities between them. Along with figuring out some of his favorite ways to shoot! For starters, all of the shots were done outside near conventions he attended. From the brief peek I took at his page, I don't know if Shutterwolf has an indoor based studio where he's done more work. With the outdoor shots, I feel that utilizing/capturing the natural sunlight is a favorite technique of his. Either that or some clever photo manipulating is done as post-work.

Many of the pics I have are also full body shots, but they're taken in a way that really shows the full details of the cosplay. Normally I love full body shots tho depending on the distance, it can be difficult to make out the intricacies of the outfit. Don't worry, there are some close up pics in there! Such as Coralea Jade being a babe as Witch Mercy! Some of these close up shots have that classic focus on the subject with the background being somewhat blurred out.

If at any point I talked absolute nonsense then I apologize. That's pretty much all I have on Shutterwold Studios. Take a look at some of the other pictures down below, see if you can pick up what I pointed out :D.
