Costume, Wig, Makeup & Oblivion and Oathkeeper keyblades (not in shot) made by *K-chan009

The movement of the cosplayer, lighting, camera settings and the smoke were created in real time

Wow ~ i haven't gotten cosplayed as Sora in over 2 years ...its very nostalgic After being asked for a project recently, i decided to re-shoot this costume as i am still very proud of it & my keyblades, and I had wanted to re-shoot it one day.

The calendar is raising funds for the Room to Read charity, promoting child literacy. It's an amazing calendar with great photos of incredible cosplayers, and it's raising money for a great cause. It's available at a good price, so everyone should order one! You can read more and order your copy here: [link]

I FINALLY RE-CREATED THE SITTING SWORD POSE~ AND WITH THE SMOKE EFFECT - Eli really liked the reference picture and wanted to try a similar effect. Here is the ref pic: [link]

~words from photographers~

Although I set up the shot and pressed the shutter release, we all really worked as a team, with me doing the lighting and camera work, Neil with the EL wire and smoke special effects, and K for patiently waiting in that pose while we got the shot right

At first, I was skeptical of Neil's talcum powder smoke idea but it turned out to be pure genius!

The shoot had to be epic, and it had to stand out as something unique and original. K was using one of her earlier epic costumes, Final Form Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2. The three of us looked up reference pics, brainstormed ideas and searched for locations. It was a true creative colaboration.

On the night we had a few very specific ideas we wanted to execute, and spend the whole shoot getting those few ideas exactly right. The total number of photos between Elias and I was small, but the results were something beyond what either of us have done before.

For this shot we took advantage of K's athleticism, and tried to recreate the colour palatte and look of the game. I think we succeeded

We are all thrilled with the results!! We hope you like them too. We will be posting the best photos between us over the next few days.
