When I first met her, one of the things she asked me was, “Could you send me the photos with your color grading? I’d like to retouch my face before I post them on social media.”
It was clear she wasn’t fully confident about sharing her raw look—whether it was a straight-from-the-phone snapshot or an unretouched shot directly from the camera. As photographers, we often lean toward capturing people in the most natural way possible, letting the subject’s mood and emotion define the tone. But in her case, things were a little different.
She has been active in the cosplay scene for some time, yet she still struggles with showing her unfiltered self online. She confided in me that she’s an extreme introvert, and cosplay is the only channel through which she feels comfortable stepping out to meet others. This particular shoot, however, wasn’t about elaborate costumes or characters—it was a straightforward, sensual photoshoot.
To me, there was nothing unusual about it. In fact, I saw it as a positive sign: she was willing to step out of her comfort zone and explore a different side of modeling.
And in the end, I got to add another talented cosplayer to my list of models.
