Let’s Create Something Epic

Every cosplay tells a story. Let’s make sure yours gets told properly.

Whether you’ve spent six months on your build or you’re rocking a last-minute cosplay, I’ll find the shot that does it justice. I shoot with professional Canon camera equipment — every image is directed, lit, and made with intention. Here’s everything you need to know. All pricing includes GST.

How it works

Fill in the form below, and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours to discuss your session.
Not sure which session is right for you? Just pick your best guess — we can sort the details over email.

Convention Floor Shots

It’s not a candid. When I find you on the convention floor, I stop you, read your build, and direct you into a pose that suits your character. Shot with off-camera flash — a properly lit photograph, not a hallway grab. It’s free. Watermarked. Posted to Facebook within a few days. Want the unwatermarked hi-res version?

Discount codes drop within 48 hours of each convention — follow me on Facebook or Instagram to catch them. Ordering a lot of images? A Studio Mini Session ($150) gives you 4 fully retouched images in a dedicated slot. A Bespoke 2-Hour Session ($450) gives you 8. More images, more time, more polish.

Convention bonus: Book a Mini Session linked to a convention and get 20% off your floor shot image upgrades from that same event.

Studio Mini Sessions — The Photowall You Missed

Didn’t get a session at the convention? Want to do it properly — studio lighting, a dedicated slot, real time to get it right? This is the one. Held in my Wellington garage studio with a 3-light rig (key + 2 strip boxes). 30 minutes. 7 slots per day. Runs approximately 2 weeks after each major convention or ad-hoc on demand.

Bespoke Sessions

The full Capturing Cosplay experience. Your character, your story, proper time and light. I lead the shoot — hunting for Yummylight — and we build the images together. Locations: Wellington city, your chosen location (travel costs apply outside Wellington), garage studio, or convention-adjacent (golden hour before/after con weekend).

Payment plans available over several months — ask me how. Early Bird rates open 8 weeks before each out-of-Wellington event and close 4 weeks out. Full payment locks in the rate. Follow on Facebook or Instagram to get notified. Got a special project in mind? Contact me and let’s have a chat about it.

SFX & Special Retouching

Not every image needs it. But when it does, here’s what’s on offer.

Add-Ons

Available on any session:

What’s Included in Every Unwatermarked Image

Every unwatermarked image includes base retouching as standard: · Colour correction and white balance · Contrast, shadow, and highlight adjustments · Simple background cloning · Social media crop (1080×1350px)

Heroic retouching (included with Mini Sessions and Bespoke Sessions) adds full skin retouching, advanced dodge/burn, and detailed finishing. Cutting Room Floor images are simple edits only — colour correction, white balance, basic exposure, and crop. No skin retouching, no compositing. Presentable and shareable, not magazine-ready.
