Meagan - Cat Woman
These images were taken July 22, 2022 at HTX Mulberry Studio.
Heather - Liea
Heather - Easter Bunny
Squid Vicious - Froppy
Shelby - Harley Quinn Danger
I’m a comic book geek so anytime I have the opportunity to capture comic book cosplay I’m quick to answer the call. On August 5th a day before the new Suicide Squad movie came out, Shelby and I got together to create this cool rendition of Harley Quinn. She made a great Harley, it was like the character was made for her personality. It took me a little minute to create the chaos set but I believe it was well worth it. Lighting for the venture was a couple of GVM led lights, one with a 42 in Octagonal soft box for the key light, front and the other with a Godox projector attachment shooting a window shadow on the scene. 2 GVM RGB lights and smoke were also used to pop a few different colors onto the scene. My camera of choice was my Canon R mirrorless camera with my Canon 85mm EF lens and adapter.
Anny - Fantasy Warrior
This set left me breathless. I didn’t think anyone would come close to topping her friend’s (Sarah IP), Elf Warrior set, but now I can’t say which I like best. Anny really embraced this set and helped me create some beautiful art. I used 2 GVM led lights, one with a 42 in Octagonal soft box for the main light, front left and the other with a 14x63 in strip box to fill, side left. Then I added 2 GVM RGB led light on both rear sides to light the smoke. My Canon EOS R was used with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens. My settings were set at 1/100 sec, f/1.8, ISO 100.
Sarah - Sexy Kitty
It’s Anime Matsuri weekend so I figured it’s the perfect time to post these sexy anime kitten inspired images of Sarah. We took this set on May 8th at HTX Mulberry Studio. There’s not much I can say except that this is a beautiful & sexy set. I used my Canon EOS R with my Canon 85mm F1.8 and 35mm 1.4 Sigma Art lenses.
Brie - Sailor
Last night I invited Brie over to the studio to capture a few images for this 4th of July themed costume. It was a fun night and we created some great images. I shot these images with a Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon soft box, accompanied with two Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in strip boxes along with my Canon EOS R with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens. Happy 4th!!!
Anny - Playboy Bunny
On May 24th, I got together for the first time with the beautiful Korean model Anny. We knocked out a few cool sets, no spoilers but I can’t wait to publish them all. This is the first set I decided to share. Don’t you think she looks great as a Playboy bunny? There were 2 different lighting setups for these images. The first was shot on an all white background in which I added the windows in post. Lighting for this set was a Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon soft box, accompanied with two Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in strip boxes. With the second set of images I used a loft type background and lit her with a GVM (Daylight-Balanced) 80W-II LED Light. All images were taken with my Canon EOS R with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens.
Sarah IP - Elf Warrior
All I can say is WOW! These are the types of shoots I love. Saturday, May 8th, Sarah came by the studio and helped me create these awesome elf warrior images. There were lights everywhere, smoke coming from different directions and plenty of weapons. It actually took me about an hour to set up the scene. I used 2 GVM led lights, one (main-front) with a 42 in Octagonal soft box and the other (fill-front side leftf) with a 9 x 35 in strip box, then back lit with 2 Goxox SK 400ii strobes with 14x63 in strip boxes. then one Godox AD200 with a blue gel to light the smoke. The smoke came in from both sides. My Canon EOS R was used with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens. My settings were set between 1/50-1/80sec, f/1.8, ISO 100-200.
Christine - Princess Leia
“May the 4th be with you.” Finally I remembered to capture some images just for the 4th of May. I’ve always had outfit to celebrate the Star Wars franchise but I’ve always been to busy to offer someone the shoot. This year I invited Christine to come to the studio and help me create a little magic. Wow, she did a great job, I was highly impressed by her modeling. Even though she didn’t know much about Star Wars, I showed her a few images and she knocked them out the box. I will definitely recommend her for modeling jobs. My Canon EOS R was used with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens. And my lighting for this set was a Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon soft box, accompanied with two Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in strip boxes with honeycombs to give me my pure white background, which helped me with the composite images.
Julie - Sucker Punch - Throwback
Back on November 16th of 2017, Julie and I put together this epic set in homage to the character “Baby Doll” from the 2011 movie “Sucker Punch.” When I first worked with her I knew she would be perfect for the cosplay of this character. Her eyes, nose, lips, hair and of course body made her a perfect fit. This is the first time all 80 of these images can be seen in one place. Why 80, well because she had a flawless face and body. The only editing was spent on lighting. I used my Canon EOS 7D Mark II to capture these images with a Canon 50mm lens. The composite image was done by my studio partner at the time Juan Cruz.
Heather - Police Officer
Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t mind being pulled over by this police officer. Heather is one of my favorite models to work with even though we hadn’t work together in a little over a year when we got back in the studio together, (December 29, 2020), it was like we had never stopped. A Godox SK400II studio strobe with a 38” deep parabolic octagon softbox and a SK300II with a 8”x24” stripbox was used to light up this funsized model. Camera of choice was my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera and 35MM Sigma Art lens.
Heather - Supergirl
This Flashback post comes from a year ago October 18th 2019, when Heather and I got together for a Supergirl themed shoot. We did a few sets, a full costume, a button up shirt with boy shorts, a jean set and a short skirt set. All in the Supergirl colors. This was a pretty fun shoot and Heather knocked it out the box. I also added a little composites to the shoot to bring out the costume more.
Rebecca - Sucker Punch
Rebecca - School Girl
This set of images is the beginning of one of my favorite sets this year. Rebecca & I shot the school girl images first for social media then followed it up with a Babydoll cosplay set, (from the movie Sucker Punch), for publication. I’ll post that set in a couple of weeks. We shot these images April 5th at HTX studio 409. Camera of choice was my Canon 7D with 35mm 1.4 Sigma prime lens. Lighting used was a Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon softbox as the main light and 2 Godox SK400II studio strobe with a 14x63in stripbox to light the white background.
Jessie - Construction Throwback
Here’s another throwback set of Jessie from March 19th 2013 at Studio24B. One of my favorite sets that we did together. She gave the camera a bunch of different expressions, and we had a lot of fun. Miss you Jessie, bring your but back to the H. :D (14 images)
Wendy - Princess Jasmine Cosplay
This set of images were taken on June 20th 2019, at HTX Studio 409. The Beauty is Wendy, a pretty young thing, (PYT), from the Houston area. I love working with her. Straight from the camera her images are always great. (48 images)
Kirstyn - Sword Play
This set of the beautiful Kirstyn was taken on November 10th at HTX Studio 409. I’m always excited to work with Kirstyn, she always produce great images. This set of images was taken in a 3 light, low key environment. One main Godox light with a 14x63in stripbox and two gels (1 purple and 1 blue). (15 images)
Wendi - Nurse
This set of images were taken on March 26th 2020 when Covid 19 was starting to really effect our lives. We thought it would be a good ideal to show a little love to our 1st responders. It this case our nurses who are a big part of the first line against this virus. Wendi is naturally sexy and she kept it very tasteful. Those legs of hers are killer so I asked her to put those fishnet stockings on to highlight them. The set was taken at my studio, HTX Studio 409, located in the heart of the EaDo District.
