Getting awesome photos of you in cosplay is actually super easy! All you need is a friend, a DSLR (borrowed or your own) and a lens with a fixed focal length! Thanks a lot to my amazing model Naraku for helping me with this tutorial!
Check her out on FB: NarakuCostumes
My equipment was a Canon 6D and a Canon 50mm/1.2f lens, though Canon T5i (700d) and a 50mm/1.8f does the same job as well for example! No need for expensive equipment. You can even borrow or share it with your cosplay friends!
Additionally I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
The location was Druidenhain in the Fränkischer Schweiz, Germany.
Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Thanks for showing that photoshop's not an evil tool. Too often, I get comments from people on my pictures that say "That looks photoshopped" and I wonder what the big deal is. So what if it's photoshopped? That's how we can be creative with lightning, corrections and other fun stuff. I don't understand why it's considered "bad" to some people when photoshop is used. It's like they just discovered a big "secret" and want to blurt it to the world. "This girl uses photoshop to enhance her pictures!"
Photoshop get's a bad rep because of the model industry. I'm always open about that I photoshop the crap out of me in every picture. :)
The thing is photoshop can make things look unnatural in an unpleasant way. It can also, and in most cases, make things look more natural and pleasant, so it depends.
Out on a whim I searched "cosplay photography" on CZcams and was led to this video and for such a brief video I have to say it was soo informative and I really learned a lot . so with that, thanks so much and keep it up :)
Having taken college Photoshop courses (many years ago on systems that are surely slower than my current phone), these tutorial that you guys put out are amazing and better than many of the classes I took.
Thank you!
You need to do Rye and Kylo there when it snows! That place looks just like the movie.
This was so helpful!!! Thank you! Especially telling us what equipment and software you use! :D I really appreciate it!
Is there any chance you could someday do a video on how to be the model for the cosplay during the shoot? Stuff like lighting, posing positions, angles, do's and don'ts etc. Anything that might help if you don't have an experienced photographer to guide you :) x
Another amazing photo tutorial!!! So happy to see you doing videos again.
The 50mm 1.2 is really a gem that everyone should have! If I had to choose only one lens to use ultimately I would pick it (aside from the 70-200 2.8 IS L)
0:17 lol that cute little puppy-butt
Oh and here too: 1:19 :P
This is a very quick and easy to understand video! Thanks so much for posting something like this. Also thanks for posting the little tidbits about Adobe Lightroom!

With this quick video, I already learned 10 more things about Lightroom, thanks!
You did an amazing job! Love it
Oh my god, this is awesome! Thank you so much! Loving your work!

Das war echt informativ! Hast du die Location im Allgäu genommen?

Could you do a Video similar to this but how to pose for cosplay photoshoots? I love cosplay but have issues feeling (and looking) comfortable in any of the poses I copy from the source and can't find any natural poses!
Thanks a lot for shearing
You are so good.
Thanks! :)
OMG! THE BOKEH!
I personally won't open the aperture all the way open but just slightly close since usually lens isn't its sharpest when open all the way
Nice
nicht schlecht :) vor allem die Bearbeitung ist ziemlich wirkungsvoll... aber die goldene Regel ist nicht immer zielführend :)
Klar gilt das nicht immer. :) Ich versuche nur Tips zu geben wie ein Anfänger schnell zu guten Ergebnissen kommen kann.
Achso okay :D
Für Anfänger wäre ein tutorial ohne eine 2000,- € Ausrüstung vorteilhafter.
Hat nicht jeder ;-)
Die Lightroom Effekte gefallen mir gut.
Ich bin Portaitfotograf und muß sagen, gut und einfach erklärt.
50mm 1,8 kostet nichtmal 100€ und ne einsteiger DSLR kostet auch 300€ ^^
Verena Valkyrie eine eos 6D Vollformat kommt ( je nach Anbieter) auf ca.1400,- plus Objektiv. Die besproche Unschärfe
bekommt man selbst mit einem Lichtstarken Objektiv mit "Crop" Kameras nicht so schön hin wie mit Vollformaten.
I am following you on Instagram, and I only just noticed that your camera settings are in german. Thats interesting, I assumed you were british or maybe canadian or american...
If I want to take my own photos of myself do you recommend use those two programs or only with photoshop I’m ready?
Interesting. looks like a lot of the vid was dedicated to photo editing more than the actual shoot.
Just like it is with real photoshoots!

The corgis are so cute qwqq
when u edit the pics what editing soft ware do u use
+Major Angel Adobe Lightroom
Hi! Kurze Frage - ich hab ne Canon 700D daheim, worauf muss ich achten, wenn ich mir ein vergleichbares Objektiv dafür kaufen will? Z.B. hab ich eins gefunden, das so angegeben wird "Canon Objektiv EF 50mm F1.4 USM für EOS (Festbrennweite, 58mm Filtergewinde, AF-Motor) schwarz" ist das OK?
I use ISO 100-200 to get a noiseless photo
2 Things:
You showed is the f1.8 lens at the beginning ^^
And where exactly is this grove? I'm from Thuringia and would love to shoot in this forest :D
I know, I found no other picture than the one with 1.8f. It's called Druidenhain and is in Bavaria.
Thanks :) that's not too far from where I live, think I might visit it some time later this year ^^
How did you copy the settings in light room and paste them onto another photo? I’ve been trying to figure that out and it’s been a struggle.
It's usually on the left lower side. There should be a copy settings tab.

U don't have to follow the rule of thirds if u know how to break them:)
You don't have to of course. For beginners it's good though as a guideline. :)
so I bought Lightroom because of that video, feels bad :C
Feels gooooood! Now make all the cool photos!
KamuiCosplay it looks so easy on you :D PS is easier for me than lightroom xD
