8th DD! And this time for Cosplay!

Watch my Facebook page
I post only selected shots here, as my standard for good picture is complicated. But I do much more, like shooting gigs every week. Of course, they end up online.

Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles photoshoot
My little tradition is to pay DA some coins when it comes to another DD, so I can use paid features to embed images in my winning deviation's Description and get a better perspefctive of my work to viewers.

We did one of most favourite shots to date on January 2, 2012 with beautiful and highly talented cosplayer Aida Yuki---Onna and you can check out FULL set on these LINKS: www.diary.ru/~onkami/p17198049… and  www.diary.ru/~onkami/p17317835…. ALTERNATIVELY,  tsukasa.zenfolio.com/p67237068… is a Slideshow.

Below is what we posted on deviantART, both from my account and from Aida's:



I must say I was thrilled tha much only when I received my first DD. In my opinion, a DD marks that what you trying to achieve is starts to take off. Back then when my Alice Cooper shot received a DD I could not believe that it's true, because I was like nobody and this website collects virtually anyone around the globe doing the same stuff. It helped me to grow my confidence and pursue more in that area. When I started portraits and cosplay, it were quite simple shots "cute girl on green grass"... well, I even did not had good idea of White Balance setting back then! And I really was hoping that once I will be known not only as a gig photographer but also the guy that does something else. I adore great cosplay photographers and I am very much into Dark Scene (goths, cybers etc.), so I will pursue some goals in that way.

Some other portraits from me (last one is my DD from cosplayer's account):
