We did what we could with the boring AX convention center backgrounds.. and I think it worked, because *sob*

AX was incredibly busy this year, so unfortunately I had only time for one scheduled shoot.

Fortunately though, the one scheduled shoot was for one of my most favorite recent anime, Rokka no Yuusha, and the group was so amazing I had to stop fanboying first in order to shoot properly O_O

About to head to SDCC so have to pause processing for a bit, but wanted to at least get a set of group and individual shots up!

Who knew that Buffy Summers' high school could also double as Saber Lily's Camelot O_O But after seeing that location, I just HAD to shoot there... and luckily, Paprika Mari had just the right outfit for the occasion :D

Special thanks to June for processing assistance!

Also, I'll be going tomorrow around 6pm (PST). Time to catch the HAPPY HOUR ^_^ ...p.s. I take song requests bc it's really good practice for me and my performance anxiety (aaand my teacher might grade me so this is an awesome exam/checkpoint O_O)

One of the best things about Sakuracon is that they never fail to deliver on the concert... not just because they're able to get great acts, but because audience photography is allowed!

Not only did Band-Maid really draw the audience into the performance and rocked the house, but I found them to be the most photogenic music act I've had the privilege of shooting. If you get the chance, be sure to see them live!

*Warning - slight spoilers for the last episode of UBW

So as someone who has played the visual novel, I was quite thrilled that the UBW TV series had an epilogue episode for Rin and Shirou. I was even more thrilled when I found out June and Peter had Rin and Shirou's university outfits! (And a convenient nearby university that coincidentally looks like the Clock Tower)

We used a lot of reference pictures to try to capture the atmosphere of the last episode.. and it certainly helped that as usual, June and Peter were fantastic in portraying the characters!

I know I'm in the minority, but FFVIII is my favorite FF :O So an opportunity for a FFVIII location shoot was something that I've been awaiting for a really long time!

And as you can see for yourself, a fan can't ask for much more than seeing Peter's Squall and Jie's Rinoa :D

Fate Stay/Night - Unlimited Blade Works

Rin Tohsaka - June of Kumacos

A continuation of the UBW shoot from Fanime!

This time around I wanted to try out some new light painting techniques I learned, so special thanks to June and Rodney for putting up with my crazy ideas :P

I originally started watching Sound! Euphonium for the dazzling KyoAni animation, but I ended up really liking everything about this show!

So when June told me she and Erika were going to not only cosplay Kumiko and Reina, but were even going to have the actual instruments... of course I immediately asked for the privilege to shoot some of the scenes with them!

The only thing better than seeing Aoi Eir and JAM Project perform a live concert in San Francisco?

Being allowed to take pictures during the entire performance :O

Akame ga Kiru!

Esdeath - Rina

For Rina's "Ice Queen that will never let it go", I wanted to give her great cosplay a great background... so I decided to move out of my processing comfort zone and try something new :O
