Didn't even know it was a he, all I see are those photos being shared. The difference he has is the watermark, it's not always in the same spot and it's rather prominent. His photos aren't anything special compared to the other good photographers, it's just how he separates himself.

Missed focus too. Got the hair in front, not the eyes. mineralblu is certainly better than the "average cosplay photographer", and is maybe towards the top of *cosplay* photographers, but is quite bland and safe when it comes to actual photography.

OP's pic is quite a bit more conceptually interesting, in comparison. Decent execution too.

He's also known to get into cons as press and then charge people for shoots. If you paid him, then you have a better chance also of appearing in the magazine he works for, Cosplay Culture. He's been banned from a few cons apparently because of the whole charging while using a press badge. He was hiding his badge at ECCC when I saw him. He also started charging by number of poses, something like $75 for his editing and 3 poses

This is grainier than my grandfather's photos and the face does not have enough detail. While I understand that a lot of photographers are hobbyists in the cosplay scene, there is no reason to charge if your photos are amateur and below.

Alify usually does pretty strong work, but it really sucks to see him lower his bar and start lurking in the cosplay-boudoir cesspool.

>> No.9472363

Question, I spend my time helping photographers that I know pose their models because they don't know how to pose models and the models half the time don't know how to pose, so I take that position. Are there other people out there that do that as well? If they don't, do you think a lot of photographers would benefit by having model posers for their shoots? Is this even an actual job type thing?

>> No.9472516

>>9472363

No, that would be silly. If you can't see through the lens then you don't know what is being seen.
I have people sometimes chiming in on what the model should do while I'm shooting and it usually just fucks things up or they blow a good shot.
I would only do this if specifically asked, or if you ask. But no, it's not a job type thing.

..However, there are shitty photographers out there who are terrible at guidance, so I suppose some chump may bite at your job type thing.

Dude looks like he's about to fall. I wouldn't mind the angle and the overall composition, if there was at least some momentum to justify the angle, like him swinging the prop to the opposite corner, but using the angle and just him standing there on the steps, the shot looks horrible composition wise.

I agree. There is a place and time, but the "dramatic composition" that >>9472792

This is overall a nice photo, but I'd rather him face camera left. That one strip of hair on the side of his nose annoys the fuck out of me especially since its behind his nose. At least flip it so you can see the strand fully instead of partly blocked by the nose or keep the pose, but slightly turn him to create some separation between the hair and the tip of the nose.

You're not going to find much useful critique about photography in /cgl/ as most people here are shitposters looking to create drama when it comes to photography itself. /p/ is more about talking why photos are shit, instead of good, it helps because you can determine what makes a photo bad and avoid those that make the same mistakes continuously. Ultimately, it comes down to what you like, look at the photographer's work before you book someone.

Pose is nice.

Things I hate about it:
- Dutch Angle, it's just not used properly and serves no purpose here
- Backlit at an angle it looks like from the camera left, but then the back is underexposed, probably from using an aesthetic filter
- Cropped at knee.
- Waist and legs are directly facing the camera right. I'd rather see it twist a little more towards the front just to create a little more flow for the eyes with the waist and thigh's natural contours, as well as reduce the model's right leg's separation/outline.
- would've liked to see a little pop of color on the underside of the belt's back scarf/bow. Even just some lightening up in post would've help instead of leaving it a blended mess of shadows there.

I've seen those names mentioned on cgl, however their work and personalities prevent people from taking the bait. Most the photographers want to stay out of the drama. However, samefag that starts the drama (OP) drags everyone into this they can, the rumors are always the same, the photos they share are mostly the same. I'm confident most of this is about vendettas, also samefag tends to ignore a few select groups that are the biggest IRL gossipers that won't shut up about cgl and this "drama".

Problem is majority of cosplay photographers are mediocre and they shoot for people paying cheap prices who readily praise them for shit to mediocre photos. So with all the enablers, why should the photographer improve their skills when they already get praise and followers. The other way is to befriend mods of photo share accounts and have them spam your shit out. That Comics and Cosplay account on Instagram is notorious for constantly pushing Laboy and Ed Yung because they are BFFs with the mod Jaycee Cosplay so they have a large following because of that and Laboy constantly commenting he's shooting for Cosplay Culture.

Want to be famous befriend the people running these share accounts and do them favors so they can spam your shit and ask people to follow them. Look at the recent posts promoting the deleted cosplayer, he got 18K likes in like 2-3 weeks.

You silly child, you have so much fucking hate in your heart. So you're saying Laboy isn't good? Yet he continues to get paid clients and was recently hired for his for photography to shoot at SDCC. Also his photography made the cover of Cosplay Culture, again. He also met Stan Lee in person who by the way told him that his images were great.

Let me guess, Stan is just a tool? You think Stan would be bothered with a busy con schedule to meet someone if they weren't talented? I bet that pic of Laboy with Stan eats away at your heart. Knowing he met Stan in private, spoke with Stan, took a pic with Stan for free, got a free autograph on his cover image, praise from Stan because of his cover image and you have to pay for all of that.

Next you get at Ed, yet he is a cool dude from what I seen and his pics have been getting better as time progresses, yet you still want to hate because no one notices your shitty work.

Now on to the "deleted cosplayer account" Are you saying that TheBlerdVision isn't a talented cosplayer? His account prior to being deleted was at well over 250k followers. He was a finalist for the Suicide Squad cosplay contest for his Deadshot, which btw Laboy shot, and his countless other impressive cosplays.

Fuck out of here. Most cosplayers are like 170 lbs and 5'2", with faces like Gargamel from the Smurfs. Its almost a law that the shorter the skirt, the more cellulite you have. Most of your costumes don't even last the entire day at a con, and you have the nerve to say photographers need you?

It's the VERY few hot ones that keep us interested in shooting cosplay, and even some of those have mental problems.

Why is it that so many cosplay photographers overuse photoshop so much? They add so many special effects that the picture ends up looking like the cover of a fantasy novel you find at the dollar store.

I will continue to shit on your and your so-called professional opinion. The images you are looking at are from Jason's IG feed. So clearly you are obviously to the fact that IG compresses images and the images loses sharpness. So there goes your "focus is off".

Now you mention "over saturation" so because the cosplayers red wig color pops that is over saturation to you? Now on to posing, let me guess, you want Jason to ask his cosplayers these females to stick their ass out so it's a good pose for you?

Now on to the lighting, that is great lighting you dumb fuck! No shadows on the cosplayers face and good lighting on the eyes, you can clearly see the catch lights on the cosplayers eyes. How about you zoom in and look at the cosplayers eyes to see how the lighting worked.

So again you fucking hater, fuck off! Jason isn't overhyped. He has earned everything he has worked for.
