Photography Spotlight: Lienad.photo!

Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Another photographer I have for you guys actually comes from my wonderful friend Azura Cosplay! Lienad.photo has done some pretty rad work with several cosplayers I've had the pleasure of knowing, plus there's work from Katsucon 2018 that I have to share with you! Looking at the pictures, I feel that he places an emphasis on the model as some of the shots show them very defined in their figure outline. Some photos look as if the cosplayer is an action figure which is pretty freaking awesome. The end result to the shots also look a bit on the dark side in terms of saturation levels. Possibly some messing around with Levels in Photoshop or something. I'm not a photographer by any means so I'm just spit-balling terms/guesses here XD.

Many of the photos I selected for you guys seem to have been from Katsucon so yay for fairly recent shots! Katsu as a con has some impressive scenery as I've mentioned before so Lienad definitely took advantage of that. As with previous Photographer Spotlights, the description is brief, and I'm gonna let the shots do the talking :D. Enjoy everyone!
