I'm quite pleased with how well this one turned out considering she was working with another photographer and was unable to give her full attention towards me. I think this worked well with the character as she is a bit aloof. I made everything except the cosplayer monochromatic – to draw in the viewer's focus to the most colorful object in the frame – and used the "frequency separation" technique to smooth out her skin.
I really liked her take on Ursula, the primary villain from Disney's "The Little Mermaid." Very stylish and suave. The amount of work she did on her corset was quite impressive!
One of the attendees from the 2019 "Nerd Luau" combining Polynesian elements with the Black Widow comic book character.
I used the frequency separation technique to smooth out her skin (it is very similar to an airbrush but looks natural vs fake and plastic-y).
If anyone knows who the cosplayer is, please tag her.

Got a chance to bring some of my new(er) skill into play in editing this photo (frequency separation, sky replacement, among others).

Are you looking forward to spring, too?

I just started reading this comic (summer 2020) so I did not really know who she was cosplaying. Now that I have a frame of reference, she did a killer job and nailed the character. Brava!!
I used some different techniques on this image. Lightroom's HSL luminance "sliding tool," frequency separation in PS, and Nik Software's Dfine, Silver Efex Pro (one of the pass-through settings on the background), and Color Efex Pro. Comments?
My first time adding in a texture to the background. Nice effect but don't think I will use this technique with every single photo I take from now on. Every now and again? Sure. Every time? No.

I guess the green splotch is her version of a bloody nose. Perhaps she is a rough and tumble elf in the style of "Rat Queens"?

This shot became an interesting experiment in the art of Frequency Separation. I liked this shot of Yann playing his bass but he was frowning quite a bit at the camera. So, I opted to tackle this one like full-on beauty retouching to see how much I could eradicate any unwanted lines and furrows.
I then composited the shot in the usual way, using the rendered bar scene I used from an earlier shot.

Shot at The Loft, Colchester. I booked a place on a Photoshop workshop which looked at skin techniques.
This was my introduction to 'frequency separation' - it all made sense when the talented Dan Tidswell explained it... a few hours on and the old grey matter ain't so sure anymore!

A Rule 63 (gender-bend) Thor and Loki with an excellent looking Valkyrie from "Thor: Ragnarok."
I sharpened up some detail, dimmed down the brightness in the background, used the frequency separation technique to correct some skin issues (gives a smoother, almost airbrushed look), and Nik Software's Color Efex Pro - Pro Contrast / Darken-Lighten Center filters.
From a recent "photo-walk" hosted by one of my cosplay/photography friends. I don't usually work with models so this was stepping a bit out of my comfort zone.
Tried out a couple of new(er) texture techniques as 1) I've worked with Sarah quite a few times (always with great results) and 2) I really wanted her to "pop" despite not using a flash.
Cosplayer: Life of Cosplay
A second photo of the Catwoman cosplayer I ran into later on Saturday at MAGFest. This is a monochromatic version with a color block (or mask) to let only certain colors show through; just to be a bit more artistic with my editing.
I used the frequency separation technique to do very tiny edits to give her skin more of an airbrushed look that looks natural.
Cosplayer: Pure Hearted Cosplay
My friend Kelly (taken many photos of her at the Harley Flash Mob over the years) brought her daughter to Dragon Con for the first time (dressed up as Wednesday).
While digging through my back-up of photos, I stumbled across a photo I totally forgotten I had taken; Rachel (one of my cosplay buddies) in a swimsuit at the "Pinups by the Pool/Mermaid" party.
I ran this photo by Rachel to get her permission to 1) work on the photo and (a bit later) 2) which version did she like best for me to post. This is a slightly cropped in version (10x8) with a B&W filter (darker on the reds) that she chose. It's bit different from my normal, full-colored images.
Taken just after the Musical Cosplay photoshoot had ended. Ruby (the "Pinball Wizard" from The Who's Tommy) had some costume issues (he was standing on 2.5 tall platform boots) and arrived really late to the shoot.
I stuck around as folks were packing up to leave in order to get a couple of photos of his awesome cosplay and "The Spice Girls" were still around and posed with him. Their cosplays of British musical acts meshed up quite well with each other.
I used the "frequency separation" technique to perform skin tone and texture corrections. Gives an airbrushed appearance to the skin without looking plastic or fake.
New work, struggles, a state of depersonalization or loss of identity. I will fight
Strobist info : octobox with my big Godox AD600 Witstro in front of me and above the camera at zoom 85 mm and powered in TTL at -0.5. Triggered with a Godox X1-T and using a remote control.
Post-processing : in PS in these steps :
1 / frequency separation.
2 / small HDR amount
3 / eyes work to highlight and increase focus
4 / filter to add a soft old shot
5 / a bit of vignetting
Sina from Innsbruck visited me for a short portrait session. I only used one light as in most of my images.
This was one of the three ladies cosplaying Loki. The other two were "cross-playing" (dressing up as gender of the character) while she was "gender-bending."
I used the "Elemental Action" to give some life and fire into her Tesseract. I think me adding this takes the "willing suspension of disbelief" illusion a couple of steps further.
