SakuraCon 2015 was awesome and there were so many amazing cosplay! If you see yourself let me know and I’ll tag you c:

Looks like the Salty-Sailors tag doesn't actually work right. But still nice to find photos!

Last of the Sailor Moon for tonight, the groups of characters.

From a technical point of view, these aren’t my greatest shots.  I was working fast under weird lighting because the shoot was winding down.    But I had to post them anyhow because I love these guys. The twirling skirts started as joke as last year, and I had to shoot them again because this year I was able to use a fast shutter speed.

The Sailor Moon photoshoot was absolutely insane…  a huge grouping of cosplayers, photographers, and friends in a space about a third of the size we’d have liked to have.  So, though the Moon shoot has the largest number of individual shots, there’s less than I might have like because there simply wasn’t room or time to work with individual cosplayers as much as I might have liked.

The Saturday Sailor Moon group shoot - including the infamous “twirling skirts”.

The first batch from Sakura Con…  Friday’s Sailor Moon shoot.  The plan is to work through the group shoots (Sailor Moon, Dr Who, and Avatar/Korra), then through the individual portraits.
