ECC part 1

Elina was a great host once again, thank you for the amazing show!

Euro Cosplay Championship (aka ECC) is a contest where cosplayers around Europe gather to see who's the best cosplayer that year.. Finland's representative was chose at Desucon! There was some pretty neat costumes and really good shows that the cosplayers had made for the contest~

Also my favourite got into the top 3 so I'm pretty happy :D

Also there was so many photos taken that I just had to make 2 separate posts, so here's photos of just 5 contestants and the rest can be seen in the part 2 set :)

As always

I got to photograph one of my friends that I haven't taken photos of before this!

Too bad we had a photoshoot that was really short, maybe next time our shoot together will be a little longer :3

Kigurumi fun

Hello!

Week ago I went to my first convention of the year and I got to take some photos (lot's of, actually)!

So this means there's going to be lot's of posts for some time now :3 Hopefully people won't get bored to see some cosplay photos, eh? ;D

First set of photos will be of my little sister and her lovely Stitch kigurumi! I took some photos of this last summer, those photos can be seen here!

25.5.2013 - AHOY, Sailor!

I've been busy with some last uni assignments and happily I just have to write one lecture diary and then I'm done! This fact didn't let me stay from my camera any longer, I really wanted to go to take some photos after such a long time and happily Lily was kind enough to model for me again after nine (9!!!) months! Last shoot we had was before I moved to Rovaniemi and now I'm so happy to be back here!

This shoot didn't have any special theme, but I guess we ended up having some kind of an sailor theme anyways.. Also the weather was a pain in the a*s! At one time it was cloudy but still bright and at other times sun was shining and you must know how hard it is trying to take nicely exposed photos in a bright sunlight when shooting at the riverside :D But I think that we got some pretty nice photos anyways~

Also I got to use my new monopod for the first time, YAY! :3

Model: Lily

ps. Also that dress gave me headache 'cause it gets really wrinkly in no time! ARGH!

pps. I'm so happy that I'll get to take some cosplay photos soon too ;) Stay tuned for those!
