NYCC is over, so what was the good and bad? Hated the food trucks in the underpass this year! Made it hard for us cosplayers to meet up with everyone to shoot!
It was my first year at nycc and i missed mist of my panels due to underestimating how fast lines filled up. Shouldve gotten in line like an hour early. Still hada good time taking pictures, going to the dbz and star wars meet. Hopefully ill be able to go next year
>>9217462
me and a couple overwatch and dark souls cosplays i saw that i liked.
>>9218875
>>9218877
>>9218879
and heres all the stuff i bought.
posters were so expensive.
why does a poster need to be 50 fucking dollars?
>>9218882
50 dollars? WTF?! And you bought it?!
>>9218890
yes.
there was barely anything i liked there and i wanted to go home with something from a series i really enjoy.
>>9218890
Mondo posters and stuff are $50-60, but they are limited edition and have quality, unique artwork. ...thats just....shit. Lol. Wow. Sorry.
>>9218994
mondo charges 45 for 24x18 size posters.
mine is 24x36.
and it is original artwork.
>>9219003
Still crappy lol
>>9218882
That Berserk poster is awesome!
Tons of photographers sniping shoots. They caught the guy with Hawaiian shirt shooting up skirt on Friday
>>9219908
I got more pics of me taken this year eating and sitting around than I got asked to
The lines in the morning to get in were insane. Hopefully NYCC will learn not to be badge Nazis.
Numbers are in. 180,000 attendees this year.
>>9218374
Ooooh shit, I took a picture with you!!
I was R Mika!
>>9219908
That can't be helped, the sniping. Good they caught the up skirt guy
>>9217462
Ok...
...why would you bring that big ass shit?
I understand you want everybody to think you're an OMG PRO FOTOGRAFURRR, but to block up that much space, restrict your mobility, and annoy everyone around you... was it worth it?
Who is this guy? I want to see if the pics he took were even worth this.
>>9220193
The name is on the photo. Felix Wong

Felix Wong doesn't sound like the name of a tall black guy, man.
>>9220387
she kind of looks like the girl from Jawbreakers.
>>9218882
What is that centaur thing?
Asking for uh, research purposes.
>>9220383
This is cute.
>>9220371
Whaaaaat who is this?
>>9220393
He's transAsian, you racist shitlord.
>>9221066
idk, but if you're curious about the mech it's an entirely separate guy, he just took pics with tons of DVA's
>>9221055
the names right there.
>>9220393
dat's just racist homey!
>>9220193
That's the setup Larry/Elysiam and Anna Fischer were shooting with. They were sharing the light setup
>>9221366
Only photo I've seen so far from that setup unless I missed another post
>>9221368
It's nice lighting but it seems very self-centered and shitty of them to take up so much space at a con as packed as NYCC.
>>9218879
>memewatch costume
>>9221032
its kiki's delivery service
>>9221368
All that setup and the photo still came out shitty
>>9221479
>not getting the reference
>>9221583
I know that movie. Thats just not what the cosplay is from
>not getting the reference
>>9221601
Anon wasn't saying that's what the cosplay was from, she was saying the chick cod playing looks like the chick from Jawbreakers. Seriously how dumb can you be?
>>9221628
nice damage control
>she kind of looks like the girl from Jawbreakers.
>nope, she looks like kiki
>but thats not what I meant, although thats exactly what I said
>>9221632
You have to be fucking retarded. I'm not even the original anon but you have to be fucking illiterate to not understand she's talking about the girl considering she doesn't even mention her costume.
>>9221636
Holy fuck, there is nothing wrong with not knowing a certain anime. Stop being so dishonest about it.
You literally said "she kind of looks like the girl from Jawbreakers"
>>9221641
You're a fucking idiot, dude. Everybody knows Kiki, not everyone is a dimwit like you.
>>9221648
Oh yeah, that makes sense. I didnt know it was Kiki. Alright.
Keep going with the damage control, pleb
>>9220371
Whoa, neat! Was there anybody actually inside the mech, or was it a statue/prop?
>>9221368
nice manface
>>9221690
They did two setup. The first one was shitty. This one is supposed to be good
>>9221716
Nope, that was the photo she attached to the post about the poor shoot.
>>9221717
learn to read, anon "You can see an example from this set up in my last post"
>>9221717
this was the "strong" photo
" The first set up was flattering enough to be passable. But I'm not interested in making boring photos. I'd rather shoot 5 really strong images in a day then 20 ok ones.
See a sample of the final set up, below with Holly Wolf"
>>9221653
You dumbfuck /r9k/ faggot, go home.
>>9218882
>fist festa
Is... is that an actual english release of... horse pussy?
>>9221859
good point
why so butthurt?
lol
>>9220372
Wow, first time i've seen a cosplay from that game!
>>9221656
Someone was inside! Completely moves.
>>9221368
All hat light and the photo was still underexposed as shit that she had to bump up the blacks or shadows to ruin the image. Great job. I'm sure Kotaku will blow their load all over her shit photos
>>9223050
Kotaku has done articles on Fisher's photos?
>>9221366
I just KNEW it would be her, or someone of that team. Pull out some large gear to impress cosplayers who don't know shit, and proceed to block up passageways / take the most boring photos known to man.
>>9221368
I've shot better images than that at NYCC. In black and white. With no lights. And a fucking D7000. All that gear to produce this? what are these people doing?
Also, that diagonal line bugs the shit outta me.
>>9223443
Nope but won't be surprise when it gets posted up by Luke and shills the shit out of Anna
>>9221931
There were more last year. I saw one other Red on Sunday too, but I couldn't get her photo unfortunately
>>9223614
I cosplayed Red on Friday and Sybil Reisz last year. Not too many folks recognized me but it was fun.
>>9223712
Yea I was Zia a couple years back when Transistor just launched (decent number of Red cosplayers then), only two people knew who I was. Cosplaying from Supergiant Games is suffering.
>>9221880
no its untranslated.
>>9223443
They've done a few and she was their official photographer at the kotaku party
that giant Reinhart cosplay looked pretty bad tis year. its front kept coming off from various pics I've seen. Dud'es hulk buster last year was better designed. this just looked like plastic armor pieces hot glued to black fabric
imma go and dump some of my shots

>>9230692
Me too. I self identify as a millionaire and demand to be treated like one.
>>9233477
I'm offended by both the dabbing and the horrible lack of focus/terrible post-processing of the photo.
>>9220389
holy shit, amazing
>>9221368
>That black clipping
>>9221366
Wow all that light setup and only produced one bloody image and an under exposed one at that.... I either bring an ice light or a single flash with a diffuser and get a properly exposed image without the need for clutter.
Why bring so much shit like this boggles my mind except trying to impress cosplayers... It's like " wowzers look at mah setup I'm sah pro"
>>9223497
Lol that diagonal line pisses me off too
>>9235213
... her horns are wrinkly and this is ill fitting as fuck. A+ on the scale work and concept, but bleh.
>>9235213
Why can't any of these photogs who talk big game crop/frame their photos properly for shit?
>>9235315
she just released this photo
>>9235581
He's the best in the business! He's the hot shit in the New York scene
>>9236184
Could be worse, you should see how terrible the work is of the hot photographers in the actual NYC art scene. They make Terry Richardson seem competent.
>>9236204
Names?
My haul this year. Mildy regret getting the cah bottle opener
I'm already ready for the next one. Wish it was sooner.
>>9236390
I wouldn't regret that, its funny.
>>9241097
I mean like, i know, but it was when i was up in front of the line and i had already given the guy my 10 dollars and I misunderstood the personal drawing thing they gave you with a 30+ dollar purchase or something like that when i was on a tight budget. I was too shy to ask for my money back.
Oh well, its a nice figure
Anyone have photographs of Overwatch cosplayers?
>>9241101
so you regret it because you couldn't buy more?
that's a strange kind of regret.
>>9243744
It's a pretty common regret when you're poor.
>>9236150
> "released" this boring piece of shit
if it weren't for name recognition, literally no one would care about this.
>>9236204
Terry Richardson *is* competent.
Stop name dropping to trick people into thinking you know what the fuck you're talking about.
>>9244678
You're joking, right? His photos seem like they were taken by a drunken dirty uncle with a polariod and a pop-up flash.
>>9244676
and a "cosfamous" cosplayer. The lighting style is just the same as Jason Laboy's who can shoot just as great without the overblown light set up. Just check out his work
>>9247075
>Jason Laboy
>shoot just as great
if it weren't for name recognition, literally no one would care about his shit either.
Every photo by these fucking "cosfamous" photographers is the same boring-ass, straight on, flat-lighting garbage of some chick with her tits out. Stop sucking the dicks of people just because they were on Kotaku once.
>>9233479
>Jason Laboy
>Shoot great
It's just a shot of a girl, standing, with flat boring lighting. He didn't even do any skin retouching. A shame he could make a girl so cute look so boring.
>>9247770
Not trying to start something here, different anon, but that's not Laboy. Different watermark
>>9244871
and yet he gets hired by companies for thousands per shoot, while the cosfamous photos shill for $30-100 shoots
>>9248086
Who hires him for thousands?
Name one client.
>>9248204
Are you fucking kidding? He's shot for Gucci, New York Magazine, Mercedes Benz, Levi, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike. At one point his fucking day rate was $160,000 as reported in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. He takes home less after taxes and production costs, but he's not shooting for $30 an hour
>>9248406
It's all a matter of marketing...
>>9248331
None of those companies are exactly well-known or even associated with cosplay photography.....
>>9248406
Laboy changed his rates, now he charges $50 for 2-3 poses
