So I finally debuted my Morrigan Darkstalker cosplay! For those of you who missed it on facebook, here are a few shots taken with my brand new lights. It was fun to work with the new equipment though let me just say how cumbersome those wings are in small quarters!!!Ugh.

"I want to see your tears and hear your shouts of anger! Everything that is yours, I will make mine! " Now come show my first complete cosplay of 2013 some love my critters! And do admire the craftsmanship of the wings by Crone Designs. SEE MORE AT: https://www.facebook.com/Unseelie.Allure

I also announced my next cosplay for the new year - with its epic train, diva hair and ridiculous amount of detailing.

Aside from cosplay Iv had a few times to practice with the strobes for other shoots. The softbox i got was... alot larger than i anticipated so its hard to fit in my car or even in some small rooms so I havent been able to try it out at work just yet. I did use it as a backlighting setup though.

This weekend ill be giving them their first true test shooting a sizable marathon of images: 2 geek goddess strip sets and 2 portfolio pieces. The strip sets often are very long because you need at *least* like 75 solid shots and im very pushy about having pose variety in them. I HATE sites that post a large set of images with poses that look almost the same shot to shot. At that point, cull it to the best pieces and just be okay with it being a smaller set. If you did it right, ppl will still be masturbating  ya know?

Anyhow, all this will have to wait till my lovely model, Nana Valtiel arrives! She slept in and missed her first train and the second train so we are waiting on the third to arrive and ship her my direction. Downside? Im still awake from yesterday so unless i keep active i tend to lose my sleep deprived energy rush lol
