Original post below:

I'm going to Sakuracon and it will be my 6th year there. Some of you have asked me about having photo shoots at Sakuracon.

Yes, I'm going to do that, and these photo shoots will also be possible material for the 2012 cosplay calendar for liheliso.org. (If for some reason you want a cosplay photo shoot but you don't want to be in the calendar, that is OK too, just let me know.) These photo shoots will be free.

If you're not familiar with my cosplay photography, you can see some examples here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/72157624711406453/

I hope to be able to do a photo shoot for everyone who wants one. However, there is only so much time I'll have available, before it will start to interfere with me being able to go to the Sakuracon events that I really want to go to. So if there are not enough slots I will have to give priority to the people who have been to my photo shoots in the past.

If you are interested in a cosplay photo shoot at Sakuracon, please let me know. I will be there starting on the 21st (day 0), and I'd like to do some day 0 shoots if possible. Please let me know which days you will be there, what character you'll be cosplaying, what name you want to use for model credit, and any other info that might help me prepare to take photos of you.

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, happy to have you, you were great at the Kumoricon shoot. I'll put you on the list.

nyahaha · « **Reply #3 on:** January 23, 2011, 06:02:54 pm »

Here's that info stuff~

I will be there Friday noonish until Sunday evening.
I am cosplaying:
Friday - DWC Miku (Vocaloid)
Saturday morning - Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service)
Saturday afternoon - Kida Masaomi (DRR!!)
Sunday morning - Sakutaro (Umineko)
Sunday afternoon - Luki (DOGS: Bullets and Carnage)

If you would like a little bio or something on characters you don't know, go ahead and ask~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #4 on:** January 23, 2011, 06:43:53 pm »

I might be interested in doing oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm going to be there all days (Including 0) and my schedule is looking like...

Day 0- Lady Lucas Lee- Scott Pilgrim
Day 1- Nino- Arakawa Under the Bridge
Day 2- Kumatora- Mother 3 and Milk- Pop'n Music 8 (Maybe for Milk)
Day 3- Ramona Flowers- Scott Pilgrim (Blue haired girl)

I would probably be interested in a shoot on Day 2 or 3 if you are available~ I'll sit here and wait 'til you get your stuff set up with other people and if there's a spot available on one of those days, I'll tell ya what costume I'm wearing. I'll give others the opportunity first.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #5 on:** February 07, 2011, 04:39:39 pm »

I might be interested, depending on times that are available. I'll be there days 1-3, leaving pretty early on Sunday, and cosplaying Tsubaki from Soul Eater all three days.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 07, 2011, 04:46:26 pm »

I'm very interested!
I'll be cosplaying the Fire Nation version of Sokka on one of the days, and I would love to get some pictures of that!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** February 07, 2011, 11:12:09 pm »

I'm sure me and bang bang neko would do it as morrigan and lilith

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2011, 02:15:27 pm »

I'm not a for sure on this, but I'm hoping to get my Lina Inverse cosplay delivered to my place soon enough for Sakuracon. If so, I'd love to be on the list.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2011, 04:11:58 pm »

I dont know what days Im doing what yet or what exactly I will be cosplaying but I know I will bring Luka (Vocaloid) and my Umbreon (Pokemon) to Saku. I will hopefully have a Taokaka (Blazblue) finished as well.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2011, 09:35:48 am »

I would!
Day 1 is Stocking from Panty&Stocking (with Cristina)
Day 1 evening is Meiko from DWC (with Haley)
Day 2 is Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time (with a bunch of people)
Day 3 is Mugi from K-ON (with Sahara and our friend Shannon)
Any day is fine. You've already taken pictures of Meiko and Mugi, and then I know you've done some pictures with Cristina when she was dressed as Panty.

ironmonkey · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2011, 06:53:56 pm »

OK, I updated the first post with the new list of people.

fleur_fraise: A shot of P&S together would be great if we can arrange that.

boogiepop: I'd definitely like to get a photo of your Ramona Flowers.

nyahaha: Sounds good -- by the way, I recently finished watching all of DRR!, which I started because of you guys, and I really liked it.

Everyone: thanks for posting info. I'm looking forward to Sakuracon.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2011, 07:03:36 pm »

I think we planed to do ours on day 1 but I would need to check with her.

oslapedo · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2011, 09:57:37 pm »

That list is insanely long, buddy! I'm looking forward to shooting with you again.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it too.

Yes, it's a long list. We will probably need to have more people per time slot than we did at Kumoricon, except for Day 0 when I'll have more time. So it may work out more like 3-4 people per 30 minute time slot instead of 1-2. That should be OK though because there won't be so much time spent walking to locations.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2011, 10:28:15 pm »

Ramona Flowers it is then~
Would it be ok if my boyfriend joins me as Scott? And when should we bother you about times and the such?

Yes, that is OK. We can pick days, and times for Day 0, but I'm not quite ready to decide on times for days 1-3 yet. I want to wait until closer to the convention when we can plan it around the event schedule.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2011, 12:59:54 am »

Model Name:Tessa

(day 0)-Taokaka from Blazblue
(1st day)-Maria from Arakawa:Under the Bridge
(2nd day)-Taokaka from Blazblue
(3rd day)-Ruffnut from How To Train Your Dragon

I'd really only like to get pictures of Taokaka. Which would be either day 0 or day 2. Though I know you've had a photoshoot with nikkiolie already with her Tao, I really loved the photos and would love to get some done as well with you. If the shoot happens on Day 2 I'll have two others in cosplay with me from the same series, if that's not too much trouble. The model names of them are Sagebell and Quinci and they will be dressed as Litchi Faye Ling and Carl Clover.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2011, 01:35:19 am »

I have groups going if you'd like.
I'd love to get some photos done for them!

I have a Panty and Stocking pair. I'll be Panty in it.
http://oishiianime.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Panty-and-Stocking-with-Garterbelt-Anarchy-Sisters.jpg
then there's a Love is war group which is this:
http://static.zerochan.net/full/40/22/126140.jpg +1 extra character
This one is a most likely for me but I'll have to get back to you on it.
It is a Gil in Wonderland group from a Pandora Hearts Omake. I would be Oz in it.

Would love to schedule whenever works for you. I'd love to chat about it and if your interested in any of them please message me :3

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2011, 09:51:03 pm »

I still don't know which costumes I'm wearing on what day. I will let you know when I know.

66stripedboots · « **Reply #20 on:** February 24, 2011, 10:14:46 pm »

I would love a photoshoot if still possible? : )
I will be there the whole weekend and on pre-reg day? and
my planned schedule is Mukuro (Hitman reborn),& panty(PSG)

ironmonkey · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2011, 07:20:36 pm »

If you're there day 0 there is still plenty of room. I'll be arriving around noon on day 0 and probably staying up pretty late, so there will be lots of time that day. On the other days, I will probably have to limit photo shoots to around 2 hours per day (which would be 4 sessions of 30 minutes each per day) so that I have enough time to go to convention events.

I will put together a tentative schedule pretty soon, but I think it would probably work so that everyone who has replied so far would get an opportunity for a shoot.

Oslapedo is going to be my assistant for Sakuracon

nyahaha · « **Reply #28 on:** March 13, 2011, 10:53:16 am »

Which cosplay were you wanting to shoot for me then?

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2011, 11:09:40 am »

That late at night on day 1 Cristina and I won't be wearing our costumes. However we'll be wearing them on day 0, so we can just do our shoot then.

66stripedboots · « **Reply #30 on:** March 13, 2011, 12:23:26 pm »

Since katie isn't gonna cosplay on friday at that time could i take that spot? bc i dont think i'll be wearing

tofutakeout · « **Reply #31 on:** March 14, 2011, 04:21:52 pm »

That works out just fine. Thanks so much. I can't wait. :3

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #32 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:32:27 pm »

That works fine for me Tom! Thanks for the opportunity and I'll defiantly be ready for it. I'll pm you my phone number on FB so it is easier to find each other.

ironmonkey · « **Reply #33 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:58:09 pm »

OK, I made a few mistakes on the first schedule, so let me try to fix it. All these times are still tentative and could change if they conflict with some major con event.

@Sugarlat: I didn't put you in the schedule yet because you have 3 different things that all sound interesting, but I'm not sure what you're doing which day. I'll set aside some times for you thoughl.

@nyahaha: Oops, I put you at the wrong time, because I already have photos of you as Kida (which was cool, but I'd like to get some of the others too). So how about we try for Saturday morning for Kiki, and Sunday I could do either or even both of your cosplays because I don't have much scheduled for Sunday yet. (I don't know how early you will be ready, but maybe we could do something Saturday morning before whatever the "big" event that day turns out to be. For now I'm putting down 9am.)

Day 0 (Thursday)

7:30pm - 8:15 pm:
Oslapedo, AgehaIX, Megan, Robin

8:15pm - 8:45pm
Me, danayoki, Fleur_fraise, meep, plus anyone else who is around day 0

8:45pm - ?
hang out, random fun

Day 1 (Friday)
7:00pm-7:45pm:
66stripedboots, Chibachi Nero, Nikkilolie, BangBangNeko(?), Clap_attack (+friends)

7:45pm-8:30pm:
soundninja, cassiopeia, Gryffinclaw Princess, Washougal_Otaku(?)

10pm+: go to the dance

Day 2 (Saturday)

9:00am? - nyahaha (+others?)

7:00pm - 7:45pm:
tofutakeout (+friends), Sugarlat (?)

Day 3 (Sunday)
10:00am - 10:45am
boogiepop (+friend), nyahaha(?), Sugarlat(?)

Sunday afternoon, time TBD:
nyahaha(?), anyone else who is still around

Hi Victoria! Yes, I'm interested. If you're there day 0 we should definitely do something then. If not, could you and Laura come to the 7:00-7:45pm time slot on Saturday? And the other costumes sound good too. Let's figure something out.

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2011, 11:57:43 pm »

Awesome!

It all depends what Laura and I work out for rooms (we're currently roomless at the moment), but she's gonna get back to me tomorrow about it. We'd love to do another BioShock shoot with you. You can pick what you'd like to do, though. If we are there day 0, then yeah! That works great for us! Otherwise, I'm totally flexible for whatever.

Thanks again! Your pictures are fantastic!
