Hey Everyone!! So sorry for the late journal about Otakuthon. I know I've been getting messaged a lot about when the schedule will be going up for the con.

So I do have some bad news. I am still editing photos from Anime North and Colossalcon from about 2 months ago, and that is already so much longer than I would ever like to have my photos be delayed in getting out.

As a result (mainly caused by a hectic work schedule and my work training), I do not want to take on more shoots that probably wouldn't get edited until many months later. 
So I'm sad to say that I will not be doing any pre-planned paid shoots at Otakuthon this year. I'm really sad about this because this is one of my favourite cons to shoot at, but I don't think I can get the photos edited and done within a reasonable amount of time with my current backlog.

I'm very sorry to everyone who was interested in booking a spot for Otakuthon. 
I will still be at the con, and I may do some side shoots of cosplayers I really like while I'm there. 

I hope to see my friends there and enjoy a good time in Montreal, none the less.

I'm sorry again.
Now back to editing!!

Ok, so this schedule was a little trickier this time around. I had to go to sleep after I released it last night, so there's a delay in getting back to all the people who emailed for a shoot. 
The schedule is still being organized as I'm waiting on email responses, but otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'm full for Colossalcon!

Thanks to everyone who requested a time! 
To those I'll be shooting with, expect an email from me about a week before the con!

Thanks again!

My Colossalcon 2014 Photo Shoot Schedule will be released on Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 9pm EST. 
Hope to see everyone there and be sure to get your time slot requests in after the schedule goes up on Thursday! Slots will go fast!

PLEASE read through all these details carefully if you want to book a time slot with me. By sending me a request, I will take it as an agreement to the details below. 
Some details have changed since Colossalcon last year, so please be sure to read everything.

Thanks everyone and I'm looking forward to booking you guys and working with both new and old friends. 



~~~~~Cosplay Photo Shoots: Colossalcon 2014~~~~~


Information
Send me an e-mail at (liquidcocainephotos@gmail.com) with the following information if you wish to book a time slot. (Note** I will not longer be booking shoots via dA notes, only through email). Please submit your requests in the following format:
1) Name(s)
2) DeviantART / Cosplay.com/CosPix name (if applicable)
3) Cosplay (characters and series)
4) Time slot you're interested in booking and a secondary slot if you're first choice is no longer available
5) E-mail and cell phone contact 

* Slots are given on a first come first serve basis. Do not submit a request before the schedule goes online.
*I will be working with each cosplayer only ONCE this weekend due to limited scheduling time.



Pricing
One Cosplayer - $30 per session (45 min to 1 hr), 8-9 retouched photos.
Two Cosplayers - $40 per session (45 min to 1 hr), 5-6 retouched individual photos, 3-4 retouched group photos.
Three Cosplayers - $60 per session (45 min to 1 hr), 3-5 retouched individual photos, 2-4 retouched group photos. 
- I ask that payment be in person at the time of the shoot in cash. 

* Group size will be limited to 3 people for this con. Groups do not need to be from the same series, so you can split a shoot with friends and each get individual shots of your cosplays with no group shots.


What you need to do
Bring Poses - I try to do research on the character and series before a shoot and I do usually bring reference photos, but ultimately, you know your character better than I will. Practice your poses in the mirror or with a buddy, and bring reference photos if needed. 

Have Props - Even if your character doesn't have a weapon, stuff that can help to enhance your character is very useful and can give ideas for poses. It's not necessary, but it's helpful.

Have Attitude - Make sure you are energized and in-character for the shoot. It helps to keep the shoot moving and so we aren't stalling trying to think of something to do.

Be On Time - I cannot stress enough the importance of being on time. I understand, life happens, we can be late sometimes. However, if within 15 minutes you have not appeared for the shoot, the shoot will be cancelled and it will heavily influence whether or not I will work with you again in the future. Please be courteous of my time and I will be of yours as well.  


Rights of the photos
Final photos can be used for whatever you see fit, including posting them online, printing them, sending them in for publication, showing them to family and friends, etc...
Be aware that I reserve the right to post the photos from the shoots on my DeviantART, Facebook, CosPix, and Cosplay.com pages, as well as for publication as self-promotion of my photography.


Confidentiality
All information will be kept confidential.
E-mails will be kept to send out the final photos in a .zip file which will include all the photos, both with and without my watermark.

If you have any questions, please refer to the FAQ on my dA page first. If your questions is not answered there, feel free to note, FB message, or email me with your questions.

Good luck!

That is probably the fastest I've ever booked a con!
Thanks to everyone who submitted a request! I'm so sorry if I wasn't able to book you this time around, due to the limited number of shoots I'm able to do this year. Hopefully we can work together in the future! Everyone who requested a slot had wonderful cosplays and costumes that I would have loved to shoot! 

For those who I did book with, thanks for hiring my services! :)
I'll be emailing you all roughly a week before Anime North with final details, like meeting location.
I look forward to working with you all!!
Now let's all go have some fun and make some wonderful photos together!

<3
