Step into the World of Cosplay Photography with Ashvir Maharaj
Ever wondered how to capture the magic, detail, and drama of cosplay through your lens? Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your portfolio, join me, Ashvir Maharaj, as we dive into the vibrant world of cosplay photography.
This workshop is designed to give you a full understanding of what cosplay photography is all about — from the first click to the final edit. You’ll learn how to craft images that not only showcase incredible costumes but also bring the characters to life.
We’ll be working in the Nikon School Studio, where theory meets hands-on practice. You’ll get to shoot in both natural and studio lighting conditions, pose real cosplayers, and get personal guidance every step of the way.
What You’ll Learn:
- Choosing the Right Gear & Camera Settings - Master the technical side — from lenses to lighting setups.
- Getting Started & Building Your Portfolio - Learn how to kick off your cosplay photography journey with impact.
- Connecting with Cosplayers - Discover the best ways to approach and collaborate at events and shoots.
- Planning for a Themed Shoot - Cosplay isn’t random — it’s storytelling. We’ll cover how to plan your shoot to match the vibe and universe of the character.
- Lighting Techniques: Natural & Studio - Understand how to work with different lighting styles to set the perfect mood.
- Editing 101 - Bring your images to life in post-production with basic but essential editing tips.
- Live Practice & Interaction - You’ll get a chance to photograph real cosplayers, experiment with poses, and receive live feedback.
- One-on-One Guidance - Need help with a specific challenge? I’ll be available for individual assistance throughout the session.
Whether you're into anime, gaming, comics, or just love creative photography — this workshop will equip you with the skills to shoot cosplay confidently and creatively.
