Starting to upload all our Ohayocon 2010 photos! The first 100 are up in the gallery and on our facebook fan page! Follow us on twitter so you know exactly when new photos are live! We decided to change the watermark a bit after talking to a fan at Ohayocon. Hope you like the smaller more un-obtrusive watermark. Just remember that if you like your photo please buy it from us! Its cheap and helps us keep getting to all these conventions so we can take your picture and do video.

Update! (1/26/10)
We will be trying some live streaming of Ohayocon for those of you who cant make it via UStream. Im going to embed the show here and we will be tweeting when we are live! I tested it a bit earlier and its not so bad actually. About a 5-10 second delay.
And we are off! Leaving tonight at 7pm for the 6 hour drive to Ohio. Be sure to follow us on twitter for notifications when we are streaming live from the convention!
Ok, So the usual crowd is getting to the site and going WTF?! Fashion? Guys! What happened to cosplay!? Well, in a way fashion IS cosplay. You would be really surprised how easy it is to compare the two and how similar they really are.
Ive had the pleasure of working with some really great girls in the fashion scene over the last few months and I have been able to take alot of what im learning in fashion photography and apply it to cosplay. I will be posting some of my fashion pictures in the gallery for those of you with an interest.
In other news:
We are getting geared up and ready for Ohayocon at the end of the month and are SUPER excited. The hotel, rental car and equipment is ready to GOOO GO GO! If you are interested in booking some time for a photoshoot with us while you are there send and email using the contact button at the top of the page.
I am working on some new types of videos meant to give pointers and professional advice for cosplay photography posing (what do you do in the hallway when mr. photographer stops you!) and hopefully some costume makeup tutorials by a good friend of mine who happens to be one of the best makeup artists in Chicago.
Nostalgia, as its name suggests, is a throwback to JRPGs of old. This is an interesting concept, but in today’s age of innovation in RPGs, the game feels extremely archaic and uninspired. The game, developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix Software, is set in an alternate history 19th century Earth during an age of steam, airships, magic, and adventure. The main character of the game is Eddie Brown, the son of a famous adventurer who has gone missing. Eddie takes his father’s airship and leaves on an adventure to find out what happened to his father. Along the way, Eddie meets Pad, a street urchin; Melody, a magician girl from a secluded town of magicians; and Feona, a girl with mysterious powers.
I found out about Windy Con from a friend on facebook about 2 weeks before the event and was really surprised and excited. A steampunk convention only about an hour away?! Excellent!
Taking a look at the website showed that Windy Con was not “technically” a steampunk con, but a science fiction one with this years theme being steampunk. Yup, still sounds awesome. So I put together my gear and headed out Saturday morning to the Westin Hotel.
Windy Con 09 Pictures are up in the gallery! Im working on a review for the con that I should have up monday / tuesday but did not want to keep you all from the pictures. Basically, really awesome people and a really good time. Enjoy!
As the new game from Hideki Kamiya, the creator of the Devil May Cry games, Bayonetta was designed from the ground up to be action-packed, stylish, over-the-top, smooth, and sexy.
