Split.Image.Cosplay

Our names are Randi and Michele, though we are affectionally called "the Twins" by mostly everyone. We have been cosplaying since 2005 and have since become Veterans in the cosplay community. We have participated in many cosplay contests over the years; however we prefer to organize panels and events for the community. We both have separate lives, but cosplay is what brings us so close together; without each other we probably wouldn't be involved in this silly, yet creative hobby. Our team is know for our duo costumes that we create using many of our own creative liberties and bling. It's by far our favorite part of making out cosplay!

Check out my amazing twin! A lot of her passion behind cosplay was driven by her love for Naruto! I still say she’s one of the best Narutos of all time in both costume craftsmanship and personality! For a lot of people she brought Naruto to life! Watch the video, like it, comment on it, share it! It’d mean so much if she could win this!!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever wanted her to win something so badly!

So at the end of the shingeki no shenanigans panel they asked us if we had any special requests, how could i let this opportunity go to waste?

[splitimagecosplay]

Aw! Thanks so much for taking a picture of us as the twins! Those costumes never get old since we're real twins (even if the actual costumes are 7 years old >.<)!

Intro: I am a professional photographer with a BFA in photography and fine arts and am currently pursuing my MFA in photography and fine arts. I also teach photography at the university I attend. My main practice is Fine Arts Photography, however Cosplay Photography is an enjoyment hobby that connects me to my hobby of cosplay.

*All examples featured here and on flickr are examples of convention location photography, not location-specific photo shoots.

I will only be offering four, 30-minute or two, 1 hour time slots per day at Fanime, since I am a photographer, cosplayer, and panelist. All photo shoots will be in the morning hours, though I can discuss other times if you have something else in mind. I will be involved in a few Fan Events on Saturday so I will not be able to be as flexible because of those commitments.

(I prefer shooting in the morning shoots (8AM-11AM) because of a smaller crowds, but am open to night shoots or evening shoots if time allows.)

Time Slots:

Thursday:  *Please connect me about scheduling for this date

Friday:  4 - 30 minute slots OPEN 2- 1 hour slots OPEN

Saturday:  3 - 30 minute slots OPEN 2- 1 hour slots OPEN

8:45am-9:20am - Gold Ranger - Keith - CONFIRMED

Sunday:  4 - 30 minute slots OPEN 2- 1 hour slots OPEN

Monday:  4 - 30 minute slots OPEN 2- 1 hour slots OPEN

I ask that you have about 5-6 poses you will be comfortable with when you arrive so we can do more shooting and less posing. I will help you to adjust so you look your best. I will also ask that you arrive on location 5-10 minutes earlier so we can meet in a timely fashion. If you are late I will not be able to extend your time.

I would like to know the character you are planning to shoot with so I can research a little about the series and character to find something fitting.

You will need to decide on a location of the shoot.

Depending on the date you take your shoot with me you will receive your files 1.5 weeks to 3 weeks after the convention.
