Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

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.
