Hellloooo (°Д°)/
I had a rather spontaneous cosplay shoot with my Rangiku costume last Friday and when I started writing a short report on it,
I realized that there're still a lot of shoots from last year that haven't been featured yet. Sooo, instead of just writing about that one shoot, I'll also write a bit about those past
shoots just to do them justice and to post something here at all, for a change
Rangiku Matsumoto (BLEACH) - Januray 15th 2010 - Photography:
mehli I felt like taking advantage of all the snow that has been coming down during the past few weeks for a photo shoot, so asked my sister
mehli to take some pictures of my Rangiku costume.
It was very, very, very cold. I guess that was the payback for forcing my sister to lay down in the snow last year. Now I totally understand how she must've felt...

With my sister
mehli as Souseiseki ♥
We did this shoot shortly after the costumes had their debut at Connichi 2009. The weather was really nice and we were
goofing around a lot while -Krone- tried to take our pictures ;D
Most of them were taken at the gardens of Charlottenburg Castle, but we also had a mini-shoot in -Krone-'s awesomely
beautiful hallway. There was a chandelier and huge mirrors! How cool's that?

maddi_chan as C.C. ♥
maddi_chan and I had originally planned to have a photoshoot directly after we wore the costumes at Connichi '08. But alas, the weather wasn't our friend D:
It wasn't until almost one year later, in July 2009, that we finally got to do the long awaited shoot. We went to Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam and -Krone- took a lot of wonderful pictures in the gardens. It was incredibly hot and all of us were sweating like crazy, but seeing the results I think it was worth it!
Full gallery at Animexx I've had more than these few shoots last year, but I've already written entries on them. Click on the pictures to get to them:
Most of the pictures were taken by -Krone-, who is just plain awesome!
Please visit her @
DeviantArt!
Now on to the pictures I took of others.
As some of you know, me and my sister got ourselves a DSLR last year and I've been on the other side of the camera lens a lot since then.
maddi_chan as Princess White Rose (SaGa Frontier) - April 22nd 2009
The weather was very erratic that day so we had to use the few sunny (or at least not rainy) moments to take these pictures.
Maddi is breathtakingly beautiful and it's always a pleasure to have a shoot with her (on either side of the camera) ♥
It was one of my first shoots and I still felt a bit unsure about angles and composition, but I like how the pictures came out
in the end.

Sunlight is my enemy. It was so hot and bright that day that we couldn't take many pictures before Melli gave in to
the heat. We're still hoping for a proper photo shoot with our full Ôkami group.
Full gallery at Animexx -Krone- & Feder as Arashi & Miwako (Paradise Kiss) - July 5th 2009
By FAR my favourite shoot last year. I had a good day XD
When -Krone- and Feder asked me to shoot their ParaKiss costumes I instantly thought of the narrow streets in central Berlin with their tiny yet pricey boutiques,
graffiti and construction zones. If ParaKiss'd taken place in Berlin rather than Tokyo, the atelier would
have been in one of those back streets.
Full gallery at Animexx Unoa shoot - August 6th 2009
Now this shoot does stand out quite much, doesn't it? XD
sa_pon asked me to sew a dress for her Unoa doll - which I gladly did. In return, I got to take some pictures of it ;D
The dress I sewed is the checkered one, by the way. Man, I love those dolls. I want one, too D:
-Krone- as Axl Low (Guilty Gear) - October 4th 2009
I love graffiti now. At least as a background on photos XD
I gave -Krone- a hard time, asking her to do poses that weren't quite anatomically possible. I'm sorry!
It was also very cold and my fingers were getting stiff...
Full gallery at Animexx -Krone- and Apfelmus as Stanley and Kenny (Obscure) - November 14th 2009
I've always wanted to do a horror shoot and -Krone- gave me a chance to do so.
We were shooting in some abandoned barracks. If I'd been there alone I'd have been scrared to death, but -Krone-, Apfelmus and my sister (who was assisting us) were goofing around a lot, so I didn't end up having sleepless nights after all XD Again, that was a very cold day - but then again, it might just've been the atmosphere...

Spontaneous mini-shoot on a convention. It was already dark outside, so we had to go inside the convention site,
but the lighting there was horrible so we had to improvise a lot.
Full gallery at Animexx Again, there are also some older shoots that have already been dealt with in earlier entries:
Oh, and this entry wouldn't be complete without some pictures of my favourite model:
Hope you liked it ;D
