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!

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.
