Sydney/Brisbane Trips - Shoots available

Yo . . . .  now I may be looking to organise a trip to both around July/August-ish to do some cos shooting, no plans to attend any conventions as yet . . . . . if anyone is interested in shooting with me, unless I've already contacted you, there would be a fee of $110 (inc GST YES everything I do goes through the tax office) to shoot with me, you'll be given 1.5 hours minimum with me, doesn't matter if its a group or individual/pairs etc, a full proof gallery on my return home and a choice of up to 5 fully post processed photos . . . . you can have more images but they wont be fluffy and nice. If I've contacted you to organise a shoot I do not expect payment :)

 

Conditions :-
- be on time
- no photoshopping of my pictures, ever
- $50 booking fee required non refundable if you change your mind . . . obviously I just have the feelers out for now and no date set, so I'm not expecting $$$ until then

I'll look to come for say at least a weekend to start with but if lots of peeps want to appoint my services then I'll look at staying longer to accommodate . . . . basically every day I spend away from home costs me many dollars, so I'm not looking to make big bucks here but I want expenses covered if I'm staying extra time.

So send me a msg or here or FB and we'll go from there :)

Doli aberthOpening my eyes I am invited by the deadly silence that filled the room.
Stretching my limbs on the chair I had sat on for hours on end, wasting the time I had in the box.
Well I couldn't say room again; as each of it's sides is identical to the other the place I was in looked like it was carved by a psychotic perfectionist. A closed up alleyway I had been stuck in with a bookcase, chair, table, lamp and mirror.
But don't forget the group of living rotting decay of bodies that filled 1/8 of the bricks. The mirror, framed from bamboo shoots stood out from the brick, in a different time frame 100 years prior the metal reflection spun in cl
Doli Aberth 2The curse that was inflicted on me was not designed for me and thats why it went all wrong,
But I think it may have chosen me in an accidental way;and thats why its perfect, with just a few cracks.

It happened to me when I was young, thats why no one can notice the problems, thats why I cant escape,
thats why I wish to escape but also wish not.

Again, a problem. Sometimes you wish to close a barrier around yourself and block yourself away from the
cruel uncaring world, but you cant.While when you wish to shout out to make them listen it is also easy,
make them listen or cry for help; meaning fake suicide,or even maybe just real suicide
ANOTHER SAD POEMI will fade, you will fade,
but well always be found in illusions glade.
but others shall be forgot,
in hell or heaven they shall rot .
but if we take the time,
they will forever be remembered in this simple rhyme .
even though are names will be used again,
the chance their same is halfed by ten .
even though all our times end ,
at least right now we an still be friends .
we have are troubles, sometimes few.
but in our hearts it will have to make do .
and so we will, and live lives of our own.
until we find the one true place ,we all call home.  
or we just go, our soul shall rise.
and so be it, someone else's time.

What do you enjoy about cosplay photography?
I like all stages from the planning of the shoot to the end product but my prime motivation is creating pictures that show the true beauty and power of the model and the cosplay they choose. I want the effort that they have put in done justice and I just love people and they images that they produce. I love to see a cosplayer light up when they see the preview pic or when I give them prints, compliments are always welcome, squeees/glomps preferred. Weeaboo and rabid fangirl at heart.

What kind of shots do you like to take?
PEOPLE PEOPLE . . . . I love conceptual shots and closeup portraits. I love people's faces and their features just gleam though the lens, the whole package comes together and often the finest details like contacts, makeup and expressions are lost in long range and group shots so I always try to get some closeups and full size shots for costuming if I have time. For conceptual shots, I like to mimic a scene from the game/anime, if I can't (don't have a ref pic) I'll get as close as I can.

Post-processing or no post-processing?
I'm using Photoshop less and less and processing in Lightroom as much as possible to adjust colours, contrast and levels and spot fixes. Lightroom also allows nice colour alterations for more interesting effects. For the model editing, I'll try to even out skin tone but encourage my models to use makeup, this minimises or eliminates the need to do any skin edits. I'll almost always use PS to do basic sharpening and give the image a bit of a pop. I do do more extreme edits sometimes (especially if the cosplay is from a game).

What equipment do you use?
Canon 5D MK III
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L II
Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Misc gear includes Canon 580EXII's, pocketwizards, diffusers, gels, boring stuff like that!

What do you do besides cosplay photography?
Non cosplay photography, I work full time in medical (bookkeeping), I play bass in a death metal band (currently on hiatus) and I cosplay (the oldies will know this one) which has also been on hiatus.

Which conventions do you usually attend?
I was original floating around between 2002 - 2007 in AUS, attended some conventions in Japan and then had a break for 2 years. Recently it's been Animania and Supanova.
