Magnet Cosplay Shoot

Yesterday I got together with a couple of beautiful young friends for a costume shoot. It’s been a while since I’ve done a casual, low key shoot with just a few friends, rather than a giant photo meet. We were able to get a great quiet location with a nice white backdrop (thanks Andrew!). Siami (pink hair) and Bonnie (green hair) were cosplaying outfits from the Vocaloid song Magnet, a song about forbidden love. The costumes were beautiful, the girls were relaxed and enjoyed themselves, and I got to play around with lighting.

I have been shooting Siami for several years now, since she was 14. Her 17th birthday is coming up in April, and it’s been a great experience watching her grow up in front of my lens. In this shoot, I think Siami looked the most mature I have seen her. I feel like a proud uncle!

Here’s a link to the video upon which the costumes and the shoot were based: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egxSBhfjcTU
