Description Our favorite outtake from our nth Death Note photoshoot. Inspired by The Beatles' iconic Abbey Road album cover, but we weren't really recreating it. Otherwise there wouldn't be five of us and L would have been Paul McCartney with no shoes. Haha!


And yeah, I guess Near and L aren't supposed to have shoes BUT we were in a commercial area and we couldn't risk them stepping on something on the road and possibly hurting their feet whenever we had to run back to the sidewalk when cars would pass by. And don't forget... L wears shoes when he's out - like in the university and while playing tennis.


It took us so many tries to get this shot right... Erving says the focus was insanely difficult. Even though we needed it to be fast, autofocus just wouldn't work so he was on full manual. So we had to keep posing and running away when cars would drive past, while constantly watching out for guards that might apprehend us for taking photos! Hahaha!

El as Mikami Teru
myself as Yagami Light
China as Amane Misa
Jessie as Near
Sibey as L
(The other 7 or so other cast members are not in the photo, sorry!)

photography by Erving Go



EDIT! So many people are asking about it so here is the location info: This was taken somewhere around Bonifacio High Street, Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig here in the Philippines.

SECOND EDIT! I'm sorry we can't provide a print of this photo. It's out of respect for Tsugumi Ohba. The cosplay and photos are our own work, but it wouldn't be fair to profit off another person's intellectual property.

Raina-Rasberry [2011-12-09 12:30:03 +0000 UTC]

I have no idea which manga/anime this is, but i must say the lighting is perfectly manipulated!!!! and the placement of the yellow haired girl right in the center of the dissapearing point of the road has given an EXCELLENT effect!
but since this is cosplay, the first two from the right are posing quite naturally and it gives a good natural feel to the whole thing and the middle girl's posture seems to radiate a spring in her step and a confident strut. but the other two....
they are too stiff and robatical, or is that the whole purpose of it all?????????

Misa is the Yoko Ono of the group, for sure. Or maybe Near.
