From the Wonder Woman photo-shoot in 2016. I think this is the first time I met Joe Colton and have taken quite a few photos of her over the past couple of years.
Aerith from the Final Fantasy series. Gilian was kind enough to remove her mask for a few moments so that I could capture some nice portrait shots of her.
Cosplayer: Gillian Foxglove
I just found a photo of the same cosplayer while I was at Dragon Con a few months later. Will be posting it in the next few days.
Cosplayer: Harley Antics
The switching of weapons was my idea. I have T-shirt where Jinx and Harley switch costumes and weapons that is hilarious.
My biggest personal critique is that I should have moved them away from the direct sunlight (skylight) as the tops of their wigs are way over-exposed. I softened the brightness as much as I could but it is what it is.
I used the "frequency separation" technique to smooth out their faces and exposed skin.

Playing around retouching this photo to try this new photo editing app for iPads called Affinity Photo. Pretty impressed so far. It's like having Photoshop on the go.

I had previously posted two other very good photos of Jennifer as "Laira" (a former Green Lantern who became a short-lived Red Lantern). I opted to re-visit that photo set and found this really nice portrait shot of Jennifer.
The "frequency separation" technique for skin adjustments came in very handy in correcting worn off make-up. I tried to minimize her lace-front wig but I just could not make it look realistic so I kept is as is.
Cosplayer: Jennifer Van Damsel
I truly do not know what characters or series they are from; I am making an educated guess that they are magic users (sorceresses) based on that they are both carrying wands.
Any help in identifying the characters, series, and cosplayers would be greatly appreciated.
An alternative pose (more of a close-up) photo of the Wednesday Addams cosplayer showing off her Jack O'Lantern purse.

All lights controlled with Godox X Pro Transmitter. Nikon Z7 + 24-70mm f/4 S lens. Lightroom CC Classic + Photoshop CC 2018. As always, thank you so much for visiting my photo stream! Please follow me as I would love to reciprocate!😊
A shot from 2018 of one of my "cosplay-buddies," Rey Dot Ham.
I probably won't be taking anymore photos with her as she moved out to the West Coast with her husband. She was always lots of fun to collaborate with.
The first photo ("Casual Tali") was taken at the 2017 MAGFest and processed about a week afterwards. I honestly thought I had posted it four years ago but never did.
As I am re-visiting some of my older photos, I thought this would be a good litmus test to see how far my skills have progressed as I did very good but more basic corrections on the first image. On the second image, I went for a more ... polished or lush look. Basically, I am taking advantage of the skills techniques I have hones and software I did not have four years ago.
Basic edits in Lightroom, frequency separation for skin re-touching, Sharpen AI (Focus) for minute overall portrait changes, and Color Efex Pro (Glamor Glow, Darken/Lighten center, and Pro Contrast).
Comments are welcomed.
A third shot of this Harley Quinn cosplayer. She was a great model and the "flare" stencil from my MagMod set-up really turned out ah-may-zing!
I still do not know who the cosplayer is. All I can remember is that she and her boyfriend came down from Boston, MA, for the con. I would love for her to see how well these three photos of her turned out.

Green Canary is from a new-ish DC series called "DCeased." Basically, the Anti-Life equation gains sentience and decimates the Earth (heroes, villains, civilians, all). Hal Jordan ends up getting killed and Black Canary is called into service.
Felt very apt to make her sonic "canary's cry" look like it was being reinforced by her new power ring.

I had to use a bit of "creative licensing" with her outstretched hand. As this hand was the closest part of her body to my Godox flash, it was far too bright and out of focus (narrow depth of field focused on her face). I used the PS "Elemental Action" to simulate her activating her powers.
Was this the optimal solution? No, but it does look convincing given that she is portraying a very powerful X-Man with psionic abilities. Comments?
