Throwback to Anime Expo 2017 with this cosplayer as young Princess Diana before she becomes Wonder Woman. I wasn’t on social media yet so I unfortunately did not get her name.

First big family get-together of the year yesterday at Amor y Tacos, a Michelin star restaurant 🧐
The Tour de Tacos plate was amazing. But I did a tequila shot that may have not reacted well with my meds. Fortunately I was able to nap in my car to gather myself.
I’ll have to come back.
#throwbacktuesday to #AnimePasadena2018 with IG: @ misfit__rose as Misa Amane from the manga/anime “Death Note”

Originally taken during the WPPI Expo back in 2020 (right before lockdown). I used an adapted Helios 103 rangefinder lens (53mm f/1.8) on my Sony A7ii. Edited with Adobe Lightroom Mobile. (Sorry I didn’t get her name.)

From Anime Impulse 2019, @utahimecosplay.bsky.social as Evelynn from the K/DA “Popstars” music video. The event has their logo in neon in the exhibit hall. I love how it looks like she’s beckoning you into a night club.

RIP, IG: @palaras_the_spaghetti_cowboy. Thank you for supporting my photography all these years. You were a good kid with a kind soul, taken from us too soon.

From the archives, misselliehoneybee (currently on hiatus to enjoy her childhood) at Anime Los Angeles 2022. Her family and I shot in a thin strip of trees outside a parking garage (just 2 lights, one with CTO gel). This shoot truly showed me the transformative power of lighting in my photography.

Retrieved some photos of IG: @ lilacghosty from Anime Impulse (LA) 2022 to celebrate her birthday a few days ago. Hard to believe that I’ve known her for seven years- since LA Comic Con 2018 (last frame)

@pasteljellies.bsky.social from Anime Los Angeles 2025. Taking one of the photos of her that I shared the other day and playing with it a little more in Lightroom Mobile, including trying to homage part of the opening credits to “Arcane”.

@pasteljellies.bsky.social as Vi from “Arcane” (League of Legends) at Anime Los Angeles 2025. Just love the subtle shift of movement in her eye to reiterate Von’s commanding presence.

@alusenz.bsky.social from last year at ALA 2024. May look for some of the other photos from this shoot to put together a post on IG.
This was the first and only time I got to shoot with her, but I hope to fare better and work with her more often in the coming year.
First post for the New Year. I got to go to the WPPI Expo in Vegas last year. They had an assortment of “bays” where they had models and various lighting setups to take photos. Pictured here is IG: @wildh0neypie

Whilst photographing my nieces outside of their house, I spotted these flowers by the garage. Each flower is about the size of a penny, so the whole bunch is still quite small.

Fun little pic of IG: @ darthlexii from nearly six years ago (January or February of 2019?). One of my first non-con shoots where I got to shoot Lexi in four different looks. The Captain Marvel movie was coming out that summer. Always love the energy and fun that Lexi brings to the table.

IG: @angiviper as Elsa from “Frozen” at Comic Con Revolution 2019.
Taken with the Sony a6000 camera and the E 35mm f/1.8 lens. Edited in Lightroom Mobile.
It was overcast and grey that day, so I’m happy to be able to bring out the colors in Lightroom using curves.

It would be a dream to have one of my photos used for a comic book cover. Until then, I’ll settle for this fun mockup, featuring IG: @ coser.kae and @foxfrd.bsky.social
