Last winter while I was out looking for people to shoot two of these girls came walking down a promenade all dressed up in their Cosplay outfits. I took a few quick frames and stayed in touch via Facebook.
Spring finally arrived here in Ontario and we set up an outdoor shoot. Here’s the original two on the outside and two new friends in between.
It was overcast when I grabbed this frame so I just whited out the background completely.

Nancy from the same shoot with a different “look”.
I tried something different on a whim.
I used my 17-40 L zoom for this standing on a step stool. I figured since the subject was more or less on a flat plane I would get minimal distortion. It worked :-)

Must be the weekend. The women are getting their warpaint on ready to go out.
Nancy and I did a fun shoot tonight in an Aboriginal costume we pieced together.
Topaz Simplify was used to give a painterly effect.
This is a one light setup. I used my largest PLM on a B1600 against a pure black paper background to get this simple effect. By standing right in front of the PLM I was using it essentially as an oversized Ring Flash.
Get the pass code from my about page and view the whole set. You get a 30 Day Free Trial doing this that will give you lots of time to check out all the other beautiful women on there.

The girl striking this beautiful pose is Chantel George. You can see her face in several of my previous photos if you care to go back a bit.
She just fell into this with no coaching and I was lucky enough to catch it while it was there.
