Leaving Tumblr? Not Quite.

I’m a little ashamed of having to make this post, but I’ve decided to take a step back from Tumblr.

Not a full hiatus. I’ll just be deleting the app from my phone and only checking the desktop site when I’m on the computer.

There’s just too much in the terms of service I disagree with and too many practices the staff have adopted that I think go against what a large majority of their userbase believes in.

Censoring users. Taking in ads from companies with questionable content and practices without a way to tailor them to an account. Etc. etc. etc.

If you follow me here and wish to stay in closer contact, I’m pretty liberal with my phone number and my other contact forms are listed on my about page.

Wish me luck

ATTENTION SHUTOCON PHOTOSHOOT TALENT

I know I booked some shoots for Shuto, but my event calendar dumped everything, so I've lost all the information except times for shoots. If you booked a private shoot with me, I would appreciate an email to [email protected] so I can write these things down on paper to guarantee I don't lose them again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience! If you know someone that may have booked a shoot with me (or is interested in one), please direct them to my email. -K

Upcoming Events

Hello all! I thought I would let anyone interested know that I'll be at two upcoming conventions, and am now taking photo times! The first is Shumatsucon in Columbus, OH February 27- March 1. This convention is brand new and I've never been to the venue, but I'm betting we can still get some amazing shots. The second is Shutocon in Lansing, MI March 20-22. I'm familiar with the Lansing Centre and I know some awesome places for shots. If you're interested in either con, just shoot me a message and we can talk! I have both half hour and full hour slots available at reasonable rates. Let me help you look amazing in the cosplay you put so much effort into. Contact me here, or via email at [email protected]

If you need a photographer for Youma, let me help you look awesome. I’ll have my laptop with me at the convention, so if you’d like your photos right away, being a flash drive and receive your raw unedited ones that weekend! :D

I just ordered my first flash kit for my camera! Should be here next week and I’m very excited.

That being said, if people are available during the week, I will be doing free photoshoots probably soon!

Upcoming Photoshoot Opportunities

Hello!

As the summer months draw to a close, there are still a few opportunities to book a cosplay photoshoot!

I will be at YOUMACON in Detroit, MI in the end of October/early November for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I don't plan on running any panels at this convention, so my photoshoot schedule is wide open! If you're interested in booking a shoot, or have questions, don't hesitate to send me an ask or an email at [email protected]

Likewise, I will also be attending GRAND RAPIDS COMIC CON in Grand Rapids, MI at the end of November. The panel schedule for that convention is still pending, so there might be a bit of a smaller window for photoshoots, but I will still be available, so long as the convention centre does not have a policy against outdoor photography (last year this was an issue, not because of the convention itself, but the city of Grand Rapids). There are also a few celebrity panels at this convention I will be attending (which you should too). Once again, if you're interested in a shoot, don't hesitate to shoot me a message in one way or another.

I also do photography work outside of cosplay photography!

In the upcoming weeks I will have examples of my formal work, such as weddings, and I've done senior photos in the past. If you're from the area (or willing to pay gas money) and need a photographer, I can help out with that too.

Senior Photos: $50 +gas if travel is over 30 minutes gets you a days shoot with the photos put on a disk

Family Photos: $30 +gas if travel is over 30 minutes gets you a couple of hours with the photos on a disk

Wedding Photos: Rates available upon request

I also hope to have the photos from a job I did in July up soon, but I'm waiting on some licensing stuff. It's very exciting to be moving forward in this field!

My favourite part of photography is capturing actual emotions between cosplayers or people. This was an example of that experience.

[kionishineproductions]

Now that JAFAX is over, I am taking a slight hiatus until Midori. And I'm toying with the idea of not doing any shoots there.

On the one hand, I will be new to the convention, and unfamiliar with the surroundings. On the other, the location is going to be amazing for photos, I can just feel it. 

So, I'd like a little input. What do you guys think? Do I attend a con just as an attendee or again as a photographer?

[kionishineproductions]

JAFAX Photoshoots now available for booking!

I'll be at JAFAX both days and am available for almost the entirety of both days, except for whatever big shoots that might need my help. Prices are going to be $10 per half hour, a little different from past cons simply because of the amount of hours I spend editing each shoot. If you have a group and would like an hour, there is a discount rate as well. Just message me for more details. I am most familiar with the JAFAX venue out of any of my cons because I attended GVSU, so allow me the honour of making you look awesome.
