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.
My photography journey started not long after I met my girlfriend which was nearly four years ago. She’s been very supportive of my hobby and has been there to witness my skills grow and style change. I’m very thankful to have her and I took this portrait of her which I’m real happy with, so I figured it would be a great week 12 entry!

I had honestly forgotten I had taken Joe and Maggie making silly faces at this photo-shoot. They both cracked up at it when I recently showed it to them (I’m friends with both of them on Facebook).
One of the homunculi from Full Metal Alchemist series of manga and anime.
The term homunculi is Latin for "little human." In the context of the FMA story, homunculi are artificial beings that can pass for human but believe humans are beneath them, should be conquered or killed off, and have special abilities such as longevity, rapid healing ability, and in Lust's case, she can extend her fingers into sword-like projections as built-in weapons.
One of the Harley cosplayers I normally photograph at Dragon Con. She wasn't cosplaying this year (2021) but did stop by before the photo-shoot to say, "Hi!"
Lots of time using the “frequency separation” technique to remove all the rashes and mini razor “bumps” he gave himself by shaving his chest.
Strobist: Paul Buff Softbox with Einstein 640 sitting at camera left. Fired with cybersyncs. Light setting determined by light meter Sekonic LiteMaster Pro L-478D.
model: Dorka
We did a double shoot with Bea (www.flickr.com/photos/polyakbea) and two models in a small studio. We used a large beauty dish for lighting and few smaller flashes from the sides for the backdrop.
The image was post-processed in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop with frequency separation retouching.
I added in a texture to the background and used Topaz Adjust's Dramatic filter to better emulate the game's look and feel.
Cosplayer: Hi-Rezzolution

This shot became an interesting experiment in the art of Frequency Separation. It's a cool technique where you create two layers to work on. One layer is just the colour value and the other is just the detail. Detail separated from colour/tone makes retouching a much less daunting prospect.
I opted to tackle this one like full-on beauty retouching to see how much I could eradicate any unwanted lines and furrows. I think I've still got a lot of practising to do - but I kinda like the end result :)
I then composited the shot in the usual way, using the rendered bar scene I used from an earlier shot.
Strobist:
x1 Einstein640 boomed high just off centre right for main fill.
x1 AlienBees AB800 camera left and x1 AlienBees AB1600 camera right both shot through large softboxes to provide kicker light.
strobist:
Einstein with paul buff softbox with grid to camera left. Bottom of softbox at subject chin. Fired with cybersyncs.
From a recent "photo-walk" organized by one of my friends. I don't usually work with a dedicated model so this was bit out of my comfort zone. But you've always got to be pushing yourself in order to get better, right?
It pays to be cognizant and recognize cosplayers. I commented that I saw her last year and had photos of her. And that I was the Ser Davos cosplayer from last year - I don't cosplay a lot these days but when I do, I tend to stick out in some manner. She said that she loved my take on the character and gave me a badge ribbon, "You Know Nothing, Jon Snow," which I affixed to my convention badge with much glee. :-D
Lauren.
Strobist: AB beauty dish to left of Lauren (camera right), perpendicular to model, feathered across the face. Fill card to camera left.
First time using the frequency separation technique on the skin retouching in Photoshop. After that, a lot of pixel level dodging and burning, and then some light global D&B to sculpt the face. Finished with a low opacity (~ 25%) layer of inverted "vivid light" blend mode using high pass/gaussian blur. Liquify to lower her right brow, and to open up her left eye to better match the right. Handpainted a few eyelashes to be thicker and more even.
