After Supanova I had some costumes I had hired from The Vault which i decided to put to good use and called an impromptu cosplay shoot with some friends. Rachel, Allison and Bridget helped out – along with Jadeen, Erin and Mercedes.

The result is a mashup of Jill Valentine, and Egyptian Naruto Barbarian Princess and a Vampire. We followed it up with some dance jumps and poses.

Here are the pics.

Supernova is the Pop Culture Event icon in Australia. There are numerous conventions in different locations each year. At the Gold Coast event this year we were sponsoring the Drawn2Life Cosplay group who were running a charity event raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

As sponsors we provided photobooth photography for patrons to donate and receive a free photo of themselves with their favourite cosplay characters. We also had some roaming photographers getting some shots. Most of the work though was directly in the booth.

All the photos are on Facebook and full size images can be downloaded for free from the Drawn2Life Photobucket account .

Here are some of our favourites.

So when Mark Skater from The Vault asked us to shoot he behind the scenes and stills for his latest Sucker Punch tribute Short Film Episode 3 we jumped at he chance of shooting some cool dressed up people. Some people we knew, others were new to us, but we had a fun afternoon mixing up knights, orcs, medieval maidens and gun toting Sucker Punch ladies in costume. If you haven’t seen the movie check it out on IMDB.

Here are some of the top shots from the day – note these are unedited and include behind the scenes shots.

Check out the Episode 3 trailer for the video on Marks YouTube Channel.

As mentioned previously I am unable to attend the Brisbane Supanova event in November as I will be overseas.

In compensation I am putting together a one day Cosplay Shoot Fest on 20th October.

It will be similar to the last event we did where we had 30 minute time slots in a studio for a Saturday afternoon for cosplayers some of those pictures can be seen below.

Pricing

One 30 minute slot is enough for 2-3 costume changes and for $99 per person gets you 5 images including a framed 8x12 print to take away on the day.

Two 30 minute slots back to back for the greedy or for groups are going for $190 and include 10 images, two framed prints. This is the ideal group or couples session.

There will be 10 slots available – from 10am through to 3pm.

So register now! Contact us on Facebook or via email sales@dreamcoatphotography.com.

I went as a spectator this year with my daughters.

Here is a small selection of my favourite images. Here is the gallery of all the 2012 images.

There is also a gallery from 2011 here.

PRICING

We don’t believe you should have to shell out big bucks after the event to get measly images of yourself. We have a very realistic pricing structure and we sell great quality high res photos. After all we enter events and want our photos too, so we know what its like as a competitor. Great pricing for families and friends to pool together; the more you buy the cheaper it gets.

• one photo $13
• two photos $25
• three photos $33
• up to 10 photos $43
• after that $4 per photo

Simply email us sales@dreamcoatphotography.com with the image numbers you want and we will edit them and supply them to you.
