Photography Goals for 2019
I have now spent a whole year in Dayton, Ohio and
accomplished a lot in 2018. But it is
now time to look to the future and photography goals for 2019.
General Photography
Goals
1. Expand the Dayton-Columbus-Cincinnati Cosplay Photo
Shoots Group
In
2018 I started the Dayton-Columbus-Cincinnati (DCC) Cosplay Photo Shoot Group
which currently has over 100 members on Facebook. I hosted five meet-ups for the group. The
goal for 2018 is to double the number meet ups and find interesting shoot
locations. I also want to bring in some additional
volunteers to help do location scouting and help with some of the other aspects
of the group like check in and supporting the groups social media sites. If you are interested in joining the group
you can look us up on Facebook at Dayton-Columbus-CincinnatiCosplay Photo Shoots Group or on Instagram @DCC_Cosplay_Photoshoots.
2. Book paid shoots outside of conventions
Currently all my paid work comes
from sessions held at conventions. While this is nice, I would like to do paid
work outside of conventions.
3. Find a muse
This
goal is left over from last year, and I expected it would be. I am still
looking for a person that I click with. For
me a good muse, would be fun and easy to work with, good with collaboration,
and has some creative ideas of their own.
4. Work with male models
Currently all most all of my work is with female models
and cosplayers. Occasionally, I will get
to work with a few male cosplayers but not many. I’m going to do my best to
seek out some male models to work with to expand my portfolio.
5.
Hold a studio session day
I want to hold a mini-session day at a local studio. The goal of day would be to host a personalized
photos session day where people could come in and get some unique photos with interesting
headpieces and/or and special dress options, think parachute dress. Sessions
would be about 30 – 45 minutes.
Photo Shoot Projects
This past year I did several personal project shoots
that could be termed Editorial/Fashion/Fine Art shoots style shoots. This was
great but I didn’t get to shoot some the concepts I wanted to shoot. So, some of my personal projects are a repeat
from last year. (Note the projects listed below are in no particular order.) It
should be noted all the photo shoot projects below will most likely be TFP (Trade
for Print) projects, meaning that the model/cosplayer would be getting a free
photo session and 5 fully edited digital images from the session.
Projects
1. Victorian/ Steam Punk themed shoot
I just like the style of clothing, plus I think I
found the perfect location for the session.
2. Session based on Hannah Alexandra or Sakizou art
work
I like the style of art work from both artists, and
have several locations in mind for shoots for anyone who makes a cosplay based
off their work.
3.
Stylized headpiece sessions
I have several headpiece designs rolling around in my
head. So, expect to see some more flower and creative headpiece pieces hitting
my Facebook feed during the course of the year.
4.
Boudoir concept based off “American Beauty” poster art but using ball-pit balls
I have 400 clear ball-pit balls I used for a pin up
shoot last year. I would like to use them again for a few additional shoots.
5. End-of-the-world/Apocalypse/Mad Max Inspired
I would love to do some gritty photos that lean
towards the end of days, apocalypse, or dystopian society. I have great
location in mind for this shoot, and it would have to be done in the summer.
If
you any questions or are interested in working with me on any of my goals or
projects please contact me through

is to hopefully a very productive 2019.
