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

Photography Spotlight: Lagoon.photo!

Model: Dollilicious

At NYCC last month, I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot with cosplayer Kadu=Out who you may remember from previous features like his Cloud Strife cosplay I talked about! Through his profile Lagoon.photo, he's been able to shoot with a variety of cosplayers and oh man are the end results STUNNING! Some of the shots feature the exact same area I shot in and I was completely amazed at the architecture that NYC has to offer. The photos either are just simple looking shots like the one above, or some include a lot of compositing done to make the subject look like they're in the character's universe. Kadu REALLY knows how to work with photo editing software. Whenever he posts finished up shots I'm just consistently amazed at the completed product!


Model: Vanity Fox
Some of these shots include cosplayers like Vanity Fox in her Colossus on the right, and an impressive shot/edit of Stella Chuu as D.Va in the mech she commands in Overwatch! Some of the shots aren't based in NYC so he's able to do some amazing shots working with locations like ColossalCon East and beach settings! I was absolutely honored to be able to work with him during Comic Con. He helped me so much with posing and I honestly can't wait to see my own finished shots.

There's really not much else to say other than to show you a selection of shots he's done that I absolutely love! These types of posts are usually short on write up portions so I hope you guys enjoy the imagery :D.
