Date: Oct 23, 2010
Time: Starting at noon.
Place: we will initially meet at Director Park, which is at SW 9th & SW Taylor, in Portland, at noon. If you know where Pioneer Square is, Director park is two blocks West of there (go towards Nordstrom and then keep going).
Director Park on Google Maps: http://bit.ly/biORIp (http://bit.ly/biORIp)
We will be at Director Park from noon to around 1pm, then we will probably walk to other locations after that.
What it is (short version): Get together for people who are -- or want to be -- cosplay models, photographers, and photo assistants. Meet, have fun, talk, take photos.
What it is (longer version):
This started out as part of another thread, when danayoki and I decided it would be fun to meet up and talk about photography, and it would be cool if we could get some models and assistants to show up too so we could take some cosplay photos. There seemed to be quite a bit of interest in this, enough to make a separate thread for it.
This will be a pretty open event. If you'd like to model or take photos or assist, but you don't have previous experience with that, that is OK, you can come and try it. All I ask is that you be willing to participate and do at least one of those three things. If you want to do more than one of those things, that's OK too.
Some people have asked what it is that the "assistant" does. That is up to the photographer that you work with. Usually it involves, at a minimum, holding lighting equipment. With me, the assistant will do whatever is needed, basically everything except operating the camera -- it is hard to list in advance everything that it might be.
Anyway, those of you who have worked with me before will already know what to expect. This day won't be exactly like my photo shoots at Kumoricon though, this will be more free form.
As I write this, I realize that some people reading this probably don't know who I am and are confused by this post :)
So if you want to check out some of my photos, my Kumoricon 2010 shots are here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/collections/72157624792091329/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/collections/72157624792091329/)
And all my general photography sets are here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/)
If you are interested, please provide the following information:
- What you want to do (model / photographer / assistant)
- If you are coming as a model, which costume you will be wearing
Any photos that I take at this event may be freely used by me, by the people appearing in them, and by Kumoricon. If you use the photos you must credit me as the photographer. I don't know what other photographers' usage policies are, you'll have to ask them.
This is free. There is no charge for having photos taken -- and also no guarantee of results ;)
Disclaimer: I do not work for Kumoricon. This is not an official event in any sense. It will just be something fun to do between conventions.
-
I'll definitely be there! I'd like to model and assist but I'm not exactly sure which costume I'll wear yet.
See you on the 9th too!
-
If I am not working I will come a long. I would most likely take pictures and model :D
-
ooo .. I could get nice pics of My Roy ...
-
I'll try and make it. It seems like a good idea.
I'd be doing modeling but like oslap I'm not sure what I'd bring. Most likely only Maria. I'll see what else I got.
-
I will defiantly come ^^
Probably as a model mostly, but I can help in anyway needed as well!
It really depends on what cosplays I have, but maybe Kaito, since I need some better pictures of him.
-
I'll model, and assisit if I can.
I'll either be cosplaying Ushi-Oneesan from Kumatanchi or Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim, her volume 4 outfit.
-
If I'm not working, I'll totally come!
-
Depending specifically on what time and where we do the shoot, I think it would be a fun thing to come to. If nothing else I can help assist/make the model smile and laugh?
-
I might try to come if I'm not busy. I could also try to assist~
-
I have an Alice in Wonderland Halloween party that day...so it would depend on the time...but I could come in my Hatter outfit if it's early enough in the day. I could also take photos...even though I'm not super great at it. (need to check the party time)
-
I can try to come for support!
-
I'd love to model and assist and possibly do some photography of my own!
-
Sounds cool... It's too bad I probably won't have my camera then, but I wonder if I can get a new cosplay done for it...
-
Seems like you've got a lot of models already (and I don't have any costumes ready at the moment), but I'd be glad to take pictures if needed. I've got my own camera I could use.
-
Yeahhhh~ You should go Eve so I can meet you finally '3'
-
Well, besides a concert I probably won't be going to anyway, I've got no plans that far out, so of course I'd like to come out! Some of my favorite people are committing, and it sounds like a blast. It'd be nice to be on the other side of the camera without worrying about my own cosplay for a change.
-
I would love to go, perhaps as both a model and a photographer. If I go as a model, I would probably be Gaz. Maybe a maid. Sorry I am not too definite. ><
-
OK, so far we have the following people from this thread: Me, danayoki, oslapedo, nikkiolie, CLAP_attack, tofutakeout, nekovamp13, boogie, fatechooseme, camname21, sandrobotticelli, mellonemyrs, Teddy-Bearxx, fleur_fraise, hazuza, EveofAbyss, and Invader spleen. Then these people indicated some interest back in the other thread: meep, Cassiopeia, AgehaIX, and Roscoe. That would be 21 people if everyone comes, a big fun group. That will help in choosing locations. I'd like to wait until closer to the day before making a final decision on the location, because that way we can get a weather report and see if we will need to plan around rain.
I wonder if we can get some consensus on general time of day when most people could make it? I was thinking one option would be something like 4-6pm. Another option would be in the morning. Some locations around downtown Portland have nice morning light if it's a clear day. Noonish tends to have the least desirable light, but if it's overcast it won't really matter.
Opinions?
-
I prefer earlier in the day (morning) just because I tend to never have a Saturday off and am usually scheduled in the afternoon/evening.
But if afternoon works out more for everyone else I might be able to request a time change on that day.
I also like the idea of Keller Fountain~
-
Just realized the 23rd is a Saturday, in which I would be working from 12-6:30pm, so...dingleberries. Seems I probably won't be able to make this after all.
-
Oh, and I forgot to mention:
I'd like to be a model and a friend of mine might be coming along and would like to model as well. Though if you need any assistance I will be more than happy to help. I was thinking of doing my Soviet Russia cosplay.
-
Sorry, another thing to add. How much will the cost be for you taking our pictures? Or is it free? I'm sorry if you've mentioned it somewhere and I didn't see.
-
Morning and afternoon work best for me. But really, whatever is fine.
And I totally agree with the Keller Fountain *o*
And I'm hoping to have Akito done, so really, anywhere around buildings is good for setting for him.
-

It is free. This is just for fun.
-
Also, if it doesn't rain, can we put Keller Fountain onto the locations list?
Yes. If the weather is good, that is a nice spot, and I also know of many other good spots within walking distance of there.
-
I think Pioneer would be a good place to meet up, and then head out from there.
Mainly b/c it's kinda a local spot that's easy to get to and a lot of things are around there.
That, or Director Park.
-
If I can find a way to get there, then count me in~ :33
-
Hi! I should be coming as a model/assistant and If I get my new camera before this I can take photos (this would be a good opportunity to practice taking photos)
I will be wearing Joey from Heroman.
-
Hmm, unfortunately I will have to say that going to this is a maybe for me. It all depends on my work schedule. They're becoming more strict with schedules and I can't request any time changes or time off for a while. :/

Sounds good. Getting a new camera is really fun.

That's a good idea. Pioneer Square would be a good initial meet-up spot. It looks as if there are no scheduled events there on Oct 23.
-
I don't think I can get a ride for this, so it looks like a no-go for me.
-
I would love to go as a model! And I'm not sure what I would wear for this, but quite possibly it would be Max from Where the Wild things are...but I'm not sure if I'll have the wig in time. if that happens, katie, could I borrow yours? Or I'll pull out one of my old cosplays...
-
Oh, I think I can bring along a Kadaj and emo kitty sasuke. As models, of course.
-
I don't think I can get a ride for this, so it looks like a no-go for me.
Sorry to hear that, Cassiopeia. You were great at the last shoot. Maybe another time.
-
I'll most likely be wearing either BB Hood or Slowpoke gijinka if I can get one of them done.
...Otherwise I'm not quite sure.
-
I don't think I can get a ride for this, so it looks like a no-go for me.
Depending on where you live, perhaps I could give you a ride? But I don't know exactly. ><
-
lol no
I live in Bend. ;A;
-
Where exactly is Bend?
-
About three hours east of Eugene, Osla.
I would be interested in attending this if I have time off classes and can get a train ticket in time. I'd be modeling, but I'd also be willing to assist in photography should anyone want me to hold an auxiliary flash or anything of the like. Not too sure what I'd wear, but I would probably end up finding something.
So... I'm a maybe.
-
lol no

What we really need is a Portland-Bend high speed bullet train. Piloted by cyborgs.
-
Do you know how much I would love that?

For the small group doing the Vancouver, WA Esther Short shoot, we're meeting at 2:00pm ~
-
As much as I would like to make it to the shoot (the one in a few days) my mum is coming to visit me for my birthday, and I don't get to see her much >: I'll be making the late october one though! Decided on wearing Ramona Flowerssss.
-
I'll come to this as an assistant (to the October 23rd... I get the feeling there's another one). I can even work it in as volunteer hours for IB. Muahaha!
I can model Lichtenstein from APH if wanted, but I'll most likely just come as an assistant. :3

Sounds good. Whether to come as a model or assistant or both is totally up to you, do whatever would be fun. See you there.
-
Hmmm I'm still a beginner but maybe I'll come take some photos. I won't model but I'm willing to assist anyone that needs it. I'm not really sure at all if I can make it but I'll try.
-
Should we start figuring out meetup location now? :U
How about Director Park as the meeting spot? (SW 9th & SW Taylor) Most people probably already know where it is, and the large covered area will be nice if it rains.

Is it close to a MAX stop at all? That is probably my only form of transportation ORZ
Director park= very close to the hilton
-

It is 2 blocks away from the MAX stop at Pioneer Square
-
Yesterday's Vancouver shoot was so much fun, I can't wait for the one on the 23rd. Rain or shine, it will work. We got some great rain shots yesterday.
-
I'm like 95% sure I'll be wearing Anri to this, I want to get good pics of the costume before I retire it.
-
Though I am not willing to get my costume/wig wet... orz
Getting rained on will be optional. At least I sure hope so.
-
Is there a specific place that we are going to meet at? I'm gonna ask my dad this week if I can go, but he'll wanna know where it is...Also, if we move around, do you know about what area it will be?

We will be at Director Park from noon to around 1pm, then we will probably walk to other locations after that. Several people have mentioned wanting to go to the Keller Fountain. That is on SW 3rd Ave and SW Clay St.

Oh ok thanks! I know where directors park is. We had a shoot there during k-con. Its so pretty and a great place for pictures.
-
There is going to be Zombie Walk, and Thrill The World event on the 23. Just wanted to let you all know. Where it is being held is still unknown, but we might be swarmed with zombies if the shoot goes past 3:30-4pm. As far as I can tell, if they ever figure out WHERE the damn thing is going to take place, probably portland, there are going to be hundreds of people in the areas both these events are happening. Last year they did the Thrill The World at the Square.
Might want to update the first page now that we know the location we are starting at.

Yes, Zombie Walk is the same day, also downtown. I went to it last year to take pictures and it was fun. Zombie Walk photo set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/72157622536288611/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/72157622536288611/)
If it is anything like last year, it will be very crowded and crazy, and we will need to be somewhere else by then, if our shoot is still going on. On the other hand, if we're done by then it might be fun to watch it.
I updated the first page with the time and place. Thanks for the reminder.
-
I was wondering if there was still room for people to join? If so i'd like to help out ^-^ i'd like to model, be a helper and anything else for people. I'll also bring my camera and see what I can learn from it, since i'm not very good at taking photos. XP

Yes, you are welcome to join! Do bring your camera -- part of the purpose for this meet up is to talk about photography and share ideas.
-
So, my event isn't happening this day anymore so I can go to this ^^
I might be Zombieing it up with Savanah as Kaoru and Hikaru...But we may wait with makeup to get some photos of them before we attack with makeup.
So, just look for the Ouran twins!
Edit~
So, we decided to do casual Halloween outfits for the twins, and then we'll be zombieing it up afterwords for the Z-walk.
-
Okay~ So my mom is going to Portland that Day.
I might be coming as BB :)
-
I will be joining everyone as a photographer. But, this will be my first time shooting cosplay, so don't intimidate me too much with your awesome posing; I'll try to keep up :). Fingers crossed for nice weather.
EDIT: All pictures I take at this event shall be free to use by myself and the subject(s). Digital copies, without a watermark, will be given to the subject(s) including any enhanced versions.
-
I'd like to sign up if it's not too late. ' w '
I'd come as a model and an assist if needed. My cosplay will be Revolutionary War America from APH.
-
I can, in fact, come to this. I'll also be bringing along two friends who are going to be cosplaying as Vietnam from APH and Mao from Code Geass. They would like to model and assist if needed.
-
Ahhhh, so many people.
I'mma drop out so I don't take up space and time of people. I have things I need to do anyways and I get overwhelmed by large groups.
-
If I'm not at my GF's B-day party in Gresham, I'll be here until the Zombie Walk comes around.
If I do make it, I would be Super Saiyan Goku, maybe battle damaged, and for the walk have a "hole" in my chest and back. An alternate costume would be a zombie pirate warrior, since I'm also probably meeting my Amtgard friends for the walk ourselves.
-
Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday! Especially Dana, who got this all started.
Since this is a lot more people than in my normal photo shoots, I may lose track of who I have pictures of. So if I haven't gotten photos of you, please don't be shy about letting me know.
I went by Director Park today and the leaves are starting to turn on the little trees there, it is cool.
The latest weather report that I saw says 61 degrees and 40% chance of rain. I'm hoping for clouds but no rain, or rain earlier in the day that ends by the time we start.
-
Actually, instead of me and two other friends it's just going to be me and one other friend. So you can take one more person off your list to worry about ;]
-
I was just convinced to be Kida to this instead of Max :\ I kinda wanted to be Max, but Katie reminded me that she can do a photoshoot anytime with that xD So I will be Kida~
-

Haha, I didn't mean it like that, I'm not hoping for fewer people or anything. It is great that so many people are coming.
-
Do you have any idea of where we'll end up?
Since a bunch of us will be heading to the Zombie Walk, I think it would make sense to go back to Pioneer or Director Park.
I know Savanah and I will probably be heading back around 3:30 to get ready. Or we might just attack each other with makeup there, so we could still hang with people....Don't know.

I was planning to wind up at Pioneer Square at the end. Then people who want to continue to the Zombie Walk can do that.
-
I really want to go but I have work till 7pm ;_;
-
Urgh, sorry about this, but I just found out at the last minute that I have something I have to go to. I was really excited about this, and I hope that all of you have lots of fun~ ' w '
-
Im very excited for this tomorrow :)
-
Im very excited for this tomorrow :)
Me too!
-
So, uh, I saw that it's supposed to pour tomorrow. So I'm not sure if we'll be going. We'll know for sure if we are gonna show up tomorrow morning.

Yes, it will probably rain. And of course it's up to you whether or not you want to come if it's raining. But part of Director Park has a roof, and there are some other covered areas around there. It should be possible to get photos without getting too wet.
-
Ok, so we are going to go, because the weather said that its supposed to sprinkle this morning, and then not really rain this afternoon. All the rain is coming this evening around 7pm. So see ya there :D
-
Currently on my way BUT GUESS WHAT THE MAX IS DOWN...SO IM STUCK ON a BRIDGE.... HOEPFULLY IT GETS FIXED BEFORE 1....
-
Ok we are at Director Park now
-

Oh hey, We got on the max that was substituting for that one xD
And the shoot was fun!! thank you so much~
-
That was really fun, thanks to everyone who came out for the shoot! There are a lot of pics that turned out well, but here are just a few samples to tide you over until I can have time to process the rest of them:

Thank you so much to everyone, especially those who were patient enough to let me take your picture. I had so much fun at my first cosplay photoshoot.

liquid-time: thank you so much for coming and being my assistant for the whole shoot. The photos wouldn't have been possible without an assistant. I'm glad you had fun.
I'll try to get the rest of the photos posted tonight.

Thank you so much to everyone, especially those who were patient enough to let me take your picture. I had so much fun at my first cosplay photoshoot. And, I'm sorry if I was too bossy or not helpful enough. I learned so much yesterday, especially from watching you, Tom, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all. I'll be processing a few photos today and posting them. Please let me know if I need to do anything special to these photos, for example: "turn my eye color ______," or "edit out that building in the background," or "can you make this photo look more _______ (dark and dreary, bright and happy, like a comic book, etc.).
Thanks for coming, it was nice to meet you, and it was fun to have other photographers there. And welcome to the world of cosplay photography :) I'm looking forward to seeing your photos.

Yay, I'm glad you guys had fun with me. I also wanted to apologize for disappearing. I stayed with Katie and Haley until Katie's dad picked them up. Then I went to the mall and the zombie walk and kept my eyes open for you guys, but didn't see anyone. I got some cool pictures of the zombies, too.
I said I would start my own thread to post the pictures, but I'm just going to post them in here. Here are a couple of the Soviet Union, for now.

eyeluvtygersh: Those are wonderful! I can pm you my e-mail address pretty soon. The eyes turned out great!
-
thank you for staying with us!! <3 it was good to get to know you better. I hope to see you at another meet soon :D
Those are amazing!!! I can't wait to see the rest!

Thanks for staying with us! We had a bro time. Also props on spelling Haley's name right, most people don't haha.
And oh man those photos are great, I can't wait to see the rest!

No problem, I figured it was something like that. We were at the zombie thing for a little while, but there were thousands of people there, so it would have been hard to find us, and I left and went home a little after 4.
We should have another shoot some day. I'm going to look into some possibilities for indoor locations during the winter.

That sounds super fun; I can't wait.
Here are two more for today. Now I'm off to play Diablo II with my husband!

I looked through them and they're lovely!
Wish I could have made it D:

ME TOO.

Great photos. Would be cool to have a meet-up in the winter with snow. Everyone would need winterized characters, but it would be a nice change in setting for photos. :)

I agree, I think that would turn out really lovely.
And I think my cosplay would be plenty warm enough. Ha~
-
Oh my gosh Haley looks so amazing!
I'm hoping we can do this again, and I'll either screw the cosplay part and just do photos, or I'll actually have a cool costume this time. All the pictures I took are on Haley's camera hahaha.
-
Love the photos you guys got! I can't wait until the next one... Hopefully then I'll have my camera, or an actual cosplay instead of such a casual one. :'D
@eyeluvtygersh - Sorry Dana and I didn't get any photos with you :c Also, I never got your name..?
@Tom- Thanks for uploading so quickly! *-* Hate to bug you, but did the one you took of me on top of the fountain come out okay? I know I wasn't really cosplaying, but if I don't look too derpy, I'd love to have it.
Also, that email for school will be coming your way shortly, I just have to fill out some stuff for it.
-
omygoodness thank you so much!! I look so manly in the first one!! And are my eyes really that color? owo
-
Oh, sorry guys. My name is Robin, btw; I was wearing the pink sweater with a black vest. You can refer to me as Robin in these forums if you want, too.
Haley - I totally love your eyes! I enhanced how bright and shiny your eyes are, but those are all your colors. I agree that you look masculine in the b/w - great pose!
It's a bummer I didn't get to work with everyone, so sorry to those who wanted to shoot with me and didn't. So, we'll just have to meet up again soon! :)
-
And here are my final two for the evening. If I took pictures of you yesterday and you would like digital copies of all the originals, please send me your name, e-mail address, and a description of your costume. I'll process a couple to give you an idea of what we can do, and you can decide if there are one or two additional ones (or more if you really can't decide) you'd like me to play with.
Also, I'd really love more practice. So, if anyone would like to do a one-on-one shoot with me again really soon, I'd appreciate it. I can drive somewhere closer to you, if needed. I learned so much yesterday and would like to build on that. With so many people, I was overwhelmed and feel my shots suffered a bit. But, you guys were awesome!
@Tom - You photos look great; I'm drooling over the lighting! I'm really looking forward to shooting with you again. Thank you for teaching me a few things and sharing your knowledge with me. There is still so much for me to learn.

DURARARA!! :3 <333 (awesome Kida whoever that was :D)
Thanks <3 I was that Kida~
And I should be uploading my pictures soon. Sadly, I know absolutely nothing about processing them and the like xD i should really figure that out...
OMG that was youu?!
Well, your cosplay came out great x3 EVERYONE'S did, unless these pictures are lying to me =3=

Would be cool to have a meet-up in the winter with snow.
That could make for some amazing pictures. On the other hand, we'd have to guess in advance which day it will snow in Portland (and that's only a few days a year), or we'd have to do it on really short notice :) Or I guess we could meet at Mt. Hood or something.

did the one you took of me on top of the fountain come out okay?
Maybe you mean this?

I wasn't going to post that because I made some mistakes when I took that one. But since you asked, I put it up.

Did you ever get a good photo of the paper airplane in midair? <:
That was tricky. The flight path was hard to predict, so my angle and timing were off by a lot on most of them. Here is one . . . it isn't what I wanted, but it does show the airplane flying.

Thanks, I've been working on my lighting skills lately, and I learn new things at every shoot. Hope to see you at another photo shoot.

Thank you guys for the photos, they make me squeal like the little fangirl i am deep down inside ;D

Hnnnnngh, all these pictures look amazing.
Kudos to all the photogs and the cosuprayerz. Maybe next time one of these go on I won't be lazy and actually try and come, haha.

Just a heads up: I'm going to change my name in this forum to Stormtree.

You're welcome. Sorry I was so horrid at suggesting poses. :x I'm just glad to have been of help, and I really enjoyed doing it.

Phew! Finally got all the pictures uploaded~ So more than half of these were not taken by me, but they were taken with my camera. So if you (as the cosplayer) would like to use one of these pictures, ask me who the photographer is so you can give them credit.
Also, Katie is the best photographer at capturing the interesting life of the ground, and catching people when they are being derp...
AND THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
props to Katie lol

I didn't take that many zombie pictures this year. I was more interested in the cosplay photo shoot.

That blood was tasty =w=
Thanks ^^

I love the expression on the blonde zombie's face. ^^

I just want to pass along this story, because you may enjoy it.
Tonight I was talking with some people about my upcoming photo projects. One guy asked, "What types of photography do you do?" I said, "Well, it varies, but my favorite thing to do is cosplay photography, and it's like this" and so I showed him the photos from last weekend. His exact words: "Those girls are gorgeous! They're like professional models! How did you get to work with them??"

Sqwee~
That's awesome to hear!
But it also helps to have awesome photographers <3

ALL THESE PICTURES ARE AMAZING, GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHD.
Wish I could have been a better Haruhi. My hair kind of hates me, I think. It refuses to be straight when I use my straightener, so I didn't even attempt to straighten. Yeah, hair, I don't like the way you do things when I want to cosplay. o n o
And I had forgotten about that licking my face picture. Ohgeeze. .////.
