1) things to set before everything else
=======================================
- theme
- mood
- colorscheme
- keypoint(s)/skeleton/main frame
- no. of cosplayers VS. no. of scenes VS. no. of photos
- agreements btw cosplayer & photographer(s)
- tentative date
2) factors to consider
======================
- time allocation VS. no. of scenes
- type of location(s) suitable
- no. of locations VS. no. of scenes
- transport VS. no. of locations
- no. of cosplayers VS. no. of photographers
- type of photographers suitable
3a) preparation (cosplayer's part)
==================================
- costume/wig/makeup, or course~
- points to express, distinctive must-do scenes
- actions, individual VS. interaction
- props when necessary, symbolic VS. visual
- image references, notes
3a~b) the grey area btw cosplayer/photographer
==============================================
- set location
3b) preparation (photographer's part)
=====================================
- at least go through img ref/notes before the shoot to get a feel of the series
- has an idea on the colorscheme and mood
- think of possible angle styles appropriate to the visual style of the series
4) execution
============
i panicked alot before a shoot. But once it starts, it's on the roll~
- the cosplayer would more or less know what to do, after all those pre-shoot preparations, and everything else goes spontaneously
- the photographer has the right to experiment, but should be relevant to the series
- fulfil the main points/scenes stated in (3a)
5) post-shoot stuff
===================
these should be discussed and agreed on mutually~
- pass-over of photos. original VS. edit
- style of edit & final approval
- public use of photos. cosplayer VS. photographer
- theme
- mood
- colorscheme
- keypoint(s)/skeleton/main frame
- no. of cosplayers VS. no. of scenes VS. no. of photos
- agreements btw cosplayer & photographer(s)

First of all, no, i do not know xrysx, but i usually follow her cosplay photoshoots (mainly from sgcafe...because i'm a KAY PO CHI okay!?)
And no, she doesn't know me.....LOL...i'm just a nobody..haha....
and lastly, NO I AM NO STALKER...I JUST LOVE LOOKING AT GOOD COSPLAYs..OKAY?!?
AHEM~~~ anyway......
It's one of the best out there for reference....and while clicking through stuffs to be fav in my DA, i happened to stumble upon her DA too. Then just out of curiosity, i clicked on her journal and saw this.
As a person who just started out to plan on cosplay photoshoots and stuffs, i find this really useful to follow.
Somehow, i feel i skipped a few steps, but overall it still pulled through everytime i organise a photoshoot.
(WOOT...one of the most successful one is the Varia Photoshoot i organised last year......was so happy with the outcome and we had so much fun!)
Hmm.....maybe i'll follow this guideline for my next shoot ( La Corda anybody? ) XD
