Series/Game: How To Train Your Dragon 2
Cosplayer: THAM
Photographer: Double Stomp Productions (Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt, Instagram, Storenvy)
We asked the photographer, "What tips can you offer those getting into cosplay photography to get the shots they want?"
"Honestly, I'm still learning every day of my life when it comes to getting the shots I want. Really, the best tip I can give people is don't stress. If you stress about the perfect shot, the perfect shot will never happen. Stay cool, calm, collective, enjoy what you're doing, and the perfect shot will come. Gather ideas before the shoot, even if it means putting reference photos on your mobile device to help you out, and then from there just flow with it. Honestly, the best shots I've had the chance to shoot weren't from my reference photos. It was from just staying cool, continuing to shoot and then just come up with greatness. So the main thing I say is don't stress. Stressing does nothing but ruin the experience."
