Hello my Sweethearts!
There wasn't much news from me recently. As you know, I'm the type of person, who doesn't show up unless I have something good to show. Something I was working hard on and will be worth of all that wait time.
And finally I have good things to show. At least, hope, it'll be so for you. )
Personally, it is really hard for us to work with multiple models on set at one time. By hard I mean, it is a bit uncomfortable, because you need to manage all people in frame by yourself. And ofcourse, double the time spent on post-production. That's why we have huge respect to Wedding photographers, because big part of thier work is to make great material in all this wedding chaos. Take in mind, all people here are not models and you need to guide them. I worked once on wedding, and turned out I'm not suited in this full of pressure genre of photography.
That's why I rarely take orders for group cosplay photoshoots. Cosplayers mostly just regular people, who are big professionals in what they do and thier regular jobs, but not modeling experince. And mostly they don't know what they want and imagined. (not all) Maybe except dancers.
It is a bit different, when cosplayer's main job is sexy patreon photos, onlyfans spicy content or, sometimes, private webcam back than. All of those acivities doesn't neccesary mean person have experience in modeling. But, it is easier to creater hotter content with them, because thier work ethic is different.
So, why I wrote all that you asked? Even so, I don't like to take or create group photoshoots, time to time I take this kind of job. Reason is simple: it helps not to forget, how to work on such projects. As my fellow photographers said, you practice and practice.
Let me introduce you to our side project "Spider Gwen and MJ". Cosplayers who reached me with this project, are a bit different kind of people I talked earlier. They are cosplayers, who were enthusiastic, prepared emotionally for photoshoot (which is big deal in my book), but still didn't know how they want project to look like. A bit different from what I usually expect from a cosplayer, so it was a good sign.
We shot them close to our usual style, since they wanted it to be bouduir-ish. Time of bonding for two gorgeous characters. Spider-man is a lucky guy, he only dates supermodels, hahah )
Hope you'll like our side project. Soon I'll share with another one.
We had a small problem during preparation to our Main photoshoot, so the time of shooting shifted drastically. We were searching for several crucial thing for the project and it was hard to find all of them. And we needed to wait for our model being available. Remember, our models are usually regular people with regular jobs. No worries, everything is good and very soon I'll share with our first results. )
I wanted to thank you once again for being patience and understanding. I'm working hard as I can, because I want to be on time for Halloween. )
How do you plan to celebrate it? Most of my friends here are not celebrate it, like we do in Russia, but maybe you preapred something? ) Just remember COVID is still there, so please be safe going out.
Have a great day and I'll be in touch soon!
