Costume, Wig, Makeup & Oblivion and Oathkeeper keyblades (not in shot) made by *K-chan009
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.
I really loved this pic (probably one of my most favourite from the shoot XD) The feel and atmosphere which was created was something which i really liked - which is why i wanted to post this shot also
What i wanted to try achieve with this shoot together with the team is a side of Sora which isn't usually captured - the one that is more serious, searching, determined and bridging on the darker side which is explored in the KHII. I felt that by using the lighting knowledge of Neil and Elias, we could do something that had a different 'flavour' to other KH2 Sora shots.
~words from the photographer~ The shot 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.
the lighting is perfect, and the movement capture is crisp
i am really impressed
4 thumbs up to all the people involved with thsi shot!
