Cosplay Photography: creating a fantasy art image

Cosplay Photography: creating a fantasy art image


Cosplay, Anime, Steampunk and Fairy photo shoots

Fantasy Art Photographer

One of the things I love about my fantasy art photography is that the only limit is imagination. The cosplay image of The Joker from DC Comics shown started out as a photograph that I had originally photographed on location (Manchester, not Gotham ;-)) and I added the digital artwork over the next few days. I love the design and colours used in the costume. It's so well thought out, however it was the Joker's pose that inspired me to create the explosion scene in the background and produce the finished piece of cosplay photo art. My photo shoot and the artwork are tailored to you. My artwork will be based on whether you are an adult or a child and the theme, whether it be fairy art, anime, steampunk, cosplay or LARPS.

Once I know what type of look or theme someone wants I can start to imagine how the finished digital artwork will look and I can then take a series of photographs that will act as the basis for the finished image. The photo is at the centre of the finished artwork because everything else depends on it being high quality. I take a few different shots but I always have a plan for what the completed image will look like before I take the photographs.

Since writing this, I have posted about a fantasy photo art shoot I did for an Ice Queen character. The gowns and makeup were just amazing and you can see some of the finished artwork I created here.
