Last week was Oni-con in Houston, which was awesome and a much needed break from school. While I was there I was lucky enough to have a photo project, portraits, that could be completed at the con. Long story short, I found some really awesome cosplayers, got 4 really great rolls of film developed and presented probably the best project of my college career so far. With this being such a great success and considering how much I enjoyed both taken and printing all the pictures, I’ve decided to attempt to turn this into a much bigger project and hopefully a small scale business venture. From now on I will try and devote the majority of my con attendance to scheduling photo shoots and selling prints back to the cosplayers. So far with this first run, it seems to very successful, with everyone wanting prints, which has pushed me into attempting this at the next con I attend. I really hope that this will work out for me, make some money doing what I love, where I love to be or at least pay off the cost of the trip there. I haven’t really got anything else hashed out yet, but I plan on doing so soon. Until then, here are pictures (bad scanner /sadface).
Cosplay June 14, 2008
I guess that I will start doing this because I do want to keep some record of what happened in the process of making all the costumes that I had a hand in or better said I completely made. Unfortunately, its a bit late to do so with the Kamina outfit, but mostly it is self explanatory and when I get the dome in and begin construction of the Zero outfit that is when I will want to have recorded my progress. I know that I have been able to complete costumes on a short notice, but for some reason I feel nervous with this next. I should be able to begin once the dome arrives, which should be in about a week which puts me starting about June 23-24 or so, only giving me about a month to work before Mechacon on August 1. So I’m hoping that everything works out well. I will be trying to update this with some photos soon and get some in of whats done already.
So this being my first post ever I hope that there will be more to come.
