Last year in summer, we watched The Umbrella Academy Season 2 on Netflix. While we enjoyed the first season, we got really hooked on the second season and Aby liked Number Five so much, that she ordered his costume. It arrived super quickly and she made a few adjustments to it, before we went out to shoot it. We were so looking forward to make  5'11" tall Aby look like a 13-year-old kid through the magic of perspective and lacking other Academy members to pose with. A week prior to this,...

Another one of those attic photoshoots we did last summer. When we were just about done writing our book on cosplay make-up for male characters, we noticed that the cover photo we had chosen initially didn't really fit our purpose.

Back in summer, we met up with our friend Elvesgonewild and shot our Red Dead Redemption 2 cosplays! Actually, we had planned to wear these costumes to multiple conventions in 2020 and visit a cowboy reenactment city to take really authentic photos, but yeah, the pandemic happened. Instead, we spent a nice weekend together, used multiple locations, including our attic, a prairie-like-looking meadow with cows and a rural looking barbecue place in the wilderness. We also managed to film a few scenes that we put together to a Cosplay Music Video...
