You built it. Let's shoot it properly.

Cosplay and character portraits in Los Angeles. Lit to the source material rather than to a preset, directed collaboratively, and delivered to you at full resolution.

1. 01

   Character-true light

   A character lit by neon, firelight or a cold interior gets that light on location, at the time of the shoot, rather than approximated afterwards.

2. 02

   The build gets its own frames

   Armor joins, weathering, wig work, prop finishing. The parts that took months and never survive a hallway snapshot.

3. 03

   Yours, in full

   Full resolution, no watermark, no paywall, credit agreed before we shoot. You decide whether the images get published at all.
