Cosplay is a Japanese term short for "costume play." The act of dressing up in costume as favorite characters from anime, video games, movies, music, etc..

I love many facets of costumes and costume design. From movies, anime, video games, or costumes in general. The elaborate details that people put into a design that they are passionate about, the character that they chose to represent, all typically for the use of only a couple days of the year at a convention or a party of some sort.
I find it a necessity to help those who have poured their time and dedication into their designs by immortalizing their costume(s) with photography and photo manipulation.
Some of the costumes you may see on this site, or on my DeviantArt account may be costumes that I've had a hand in designing, or may even be wearing some of them. I know the effort that goes into a well designed costume and I also know the feeling of wishing I had documented some of my past designs. I am hoping to be able to help others out there in remembering their experiences and hard work...

Photo Manipulation? What do you mean?
Being able to take the photos and also implement the manipulation process, I have full control of plotting out elaborate scenarios.
For example, if you are familiar with the anime series Naruto, he has an ability (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) to replicate himself hundreds, and hundreds of times. Picture somebody in your mind, now, in the same photo, imagine 200+ of that same person all in individual poses filling up a wide angle image, up in trees, jumping in the air, etc.
I am capable of reproducing anything you may be able to envision.
(I will have samples of this scenario soon)
