My Phlog: Anime Festival Asia 2012

And so, my brother won pair of tickets to Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2012 but he wasn't free to make go, he gave me the tickets and I went with 2 other friends of mine!

Went there with the intension to try, as it is the first time Im doing this, to take photos of Cosplayers at a Cosplay event! At the beginning, we were too shy to point our cameras at cosplayers there, so we went to walk around and started taking pictures of anime models and toys XD We just felt awkward walking around taking photos of strangers

But after a while, we started to join in random groups of photographers, who gathers in front of different cosplayers, and started taking photos of them together! As the cosplayers were busy entertaining photographers, posing for different cameras at the same time, some of the photos do not have the cosplayers facing my camera! Please pardon that. However, it was fun taking pictures of nice cosplayers and I really did my best to make them as pretty as possible! Still have a lot to learn though. Shall improve and upgrade my equipment, so that one day, I have the confidence to invite different cosplayers to have private shoots outside of the event area!

Nonetheless, here are some of the pictures I took of the cosplayers! I decided to not upload pictures of the toy models as I would want to concentrate more on human shooting, rather than stationary object shoot! I would love to find out who all the cosplayers are whom I have taken photo of, as to me I feel that I should give it back to them by tagging them as an appreciation of their hardwork! If you happen to know anyone of them, do let me know yar? ^^ Please enjoy! ^^
