Title: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: Serika on October 07, 2008, 11:33:10 pm
This might die or get pretty off topic, but I at least want a few responses. 8D;;

When you do a serious cosplay, do you plan poses ahead of time, or play it by ear, or just stand and smile at the camera?


Last year (..08...) the two costumes I wore that people wanted pictures of I had a friend with me being my boyfriend/husband, and we just kinda huddled together with some kind of cuddly thing, or made up some type of coupley pose without thinking about it too much.  We (Well, I noticed at least) found ourselves making the same poses over and over, then after five or so pictures, we'd change it, then go back to the original.  I know I thought about talking with him about doing different poses, but never really brought it up seriously.  I kind of wish I had. 

The third outfit I had no one recognized because people completely skip over Tales of Legendia for some reason. 

Previous years, I just kind of stood and smiled.  In 07 I posed with my Death Note a bit, but that was basically all I did.  In 06 I was San (mononoke) and it was my first con... I wasn't entirely sure how to pose. 

SO YEAH, TELL ME 'BOUT YOUR POSING. 

If you're not sure what to say but want to contribute, here are some ideas:
-Does the personality of the character impact your poses?
-Does being in a group/couple impact posing?
-Is standing and smiling acceptable?
-Does your enegy level have an impact?
-Regardless of the character, does the outfit itself change how you pose? (i.e. bright colors make you pose "bigger," dark colors make you more drawn in, etc...)

Thanks 8D;;

Poses are very important for photos! It's good to have a few planned ahead of time.
When you cosplay, you are that character, so the character's personality is important for the pose. Is the pose something they would do? Is your character a tough, strong person? Generally cheerful? Or maybe shy? Use facial expressions and other body language to reflect that. When you're with another person or multiple others, how would your character react to them? Being in a group or couple should impact posing because then there should be some interaction between those in the picture. Er. That's all I have for now.  ;D

I think that a lot of people appreciate it if you're in character when you pose for a picture.  At least, that's what I tried to do.

Fortunately/unfortunately, Gaara only really has one pose.  (Standing there scowling with his arms crossed.)  That's what I did most of the time, but sometimes I crouched down.  Temari (Nikki) had several poses with her fan, and Kankuro (my sister) would make jutsu hand poses most of the time.

A couple times we did really wacky random things, but we kept those to a minimum.  For me, I tried to be as straight-faced as possible as much as I could.

Heh, it reminds me; the first guy to take a picture of us asked us to pose, then said, "Okay, everyone smile!"  When I scowled in-character, he laughed and said, "Or not."  Another guy did nearly the same thing, only saying, "Everyone smile!  ...except Gaara."  :D

I can generally fall into character really quickly,so I don't spend much time planning ahead.But I guess to some degree it is important to be able to play the role of the character well.

Posing helps so much!

when I first started cosplaying, one of my acquaintances who was very much my cosplaying senpai recommended thinking of at least one pose beforehand so you have something you go into immediately when someone asks for a picture.

This year when I did Lina Inverse I had a lot of people stop when someone else had stop me and take pictures, and it seemed like a great deal of it was because I was really posing. I had a couple people ask if I could do the pose I'd just done specifically, not just 'can I get a picture.'

it also helps to practices faces in a mirror, I tend to blush and giggle the first hour or so I'm in cosplay and nothing ruins a picture faster than 'this is my trying to calm down and instead just looking kinda nervous face.' Oooh, I got some fine examples of that at PAX this year. ~_~;;;;;;

I have a few poses planed.....but that was not enough. I need to make sure that when I go as Kimimaro and Secret cosplay (which I will reveal at Kcon lite ^_^) I will have lots of poses ready because I know one will get stopped a lot.....maybe Kimimaro too ;D

Hey, that's what I do!  :D

I try to pose in character or at least mug for the camera. I'm a total ham though so it usually comes naturally.

Some of my dumb costumes don't really have a pose, like Seshomario. Those turned into really lame pictures though, and it made me feel bad because now the person has a picture of my lame costume and I didn't even have the decency to give him a good picture.

If I'm taking a picture I will usually ask for specific pose if the cosplayer has room and doesn't look too embarrassed. Like when I had Captain Falcon punch Nes or Doctor Who pulling the giant BAWLS from inside his coat.

Posing turns a great costume into a great cosplay.  ;)

Post by: tofutakeout on October 08, 2008, 04:40:22 pm
poses are definitely important. :3 I always try to plan ahead so I know what I might be doing for camera's. unless you have a calm character then something simple with suffice.

I tend to try to create poses that go with the characters personality and what they are. like if their a pirate, some sort of stance that says 'argh be ready to be boarded.' or something lol. smiling is always acceptable unless your character is calm or stern. and if your in a cosplay group you shoudl always know how to stand around your other members. if it's your characters enemy, your love interest, or your best friend show it! :3

This was actually something I had some trouble with.  The FMP character I portrayed is wearing a military uniform.  For him a pose is standing at attention.  :)  I felt it was better to look like I was caught just moving around than standing at attention.  I made an effort to not look at the camera.  (also cut down on red eye) and to have the patch on my uniform show.  I also would remove con badges, etc. if asked.

I suppose the only thing with poses is, if you are doing a well known pose, eg: Sailor Moon, then make sure you do it right.
Try to be in character.  But most important, HAVE FUN		(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fthumb%2Ff%2Ffc%2FSailor_Moon_%281st_uniform%29.png%2F180px-Sailor_Moon_%281st_uniform%29.png&hash=3c202f61e8af31aa0095b5bd9b884f97413d1261)

My biggest problem with posing and pictures is that I get hella embarrassed when anyone wants to take one of me and even though I act  normal and pose well my face gets super, super red. I try to think about other things but only about one out of every ten pictures I take turns out well.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 11:52:44 am
The hardest thing for me was knowing how I looked in my mind. I took a lot of pictures that gave me multiple chins and now I am very conscious about what my neck looks like. I always make sure that my neck is stretched out. Also if I have a noticeable characteristic that I think I did well then I show it off. Like with Temari I loved the way my hair looked so I often took pictures from the side or at a slight angle. I also tried to have my fan out most of the time.

That's one thing that really bothered me every time I forgot about it; leaving my con badge on.  It kinda ruins a picture for me when there's a badge, or even part of the lanyard showing.  Maybe it's just me...
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: BigGuy on October 09, 2008, 04:13:19 pm
Badges don't really bother me that much. Sometimes you don't have time to take it off and put it back on. My first real cosplay was Zabuza and there was a Haku I was hanging out with and everone wanted us to be on the floor in the dead/dying pose. So I spent a lot of time getting on the floor and lying there, then getting back up to do it all over again a few mins later ;)

I know how you feel about that. I tried to make myself as slim looking as possible or not do a bad expression. things I noticed I did was not have enough emotion in my face. :/

I'm doing a lot of research for my upcoming cosplays on poses and characteristics.
Each one of my cosplays is going to be paired with one or two other people, so we're going to have a few photoshoots pre-con to go over posing and what looks best =]
I like having groups of cosplayers from the same thing, it just seems to get people's attention better.

yeah because then they wonder 'what the hell is going on?'ha ha ^_^ personally though if you have no idea how to pose it's always nice to have someone to give you a quick little thing to do so you don't look stumped.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: shanime_panda on October 09, 2008, 07:57:47 pm
yeah, if I can't think of anything I just ask if there's a pose in particular that they want.
And I'm gonna try to mix up the poses a bit, maybe go in a pattern?
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 08:00:00 pm
I need to try to remember to hide my badge and get lots of poses together. I have lot of time to figure them out....though I need to get a few ready for K con lite. I'll figure some out >_>
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: tofutakeout on October 09, 2008, 08:01:49 pm
hmm never heard that technique used before. something that I always find that helps me pose is to find someone else at the con to pose with even if they aren't from the same series or just do some poses as a joke. It gets you pictures and their always so great to look at. for example the BAWLs pictures. heh
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 08:03:50 pm
yeah those are always fun. I usually, as a photographer, don't have any poses in mind for other people so I wouldn't be a good one to ask. If I do have one in mind I will ask for it ^_^
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: shanime_panda on October 09, 2008, 08:06:25 pm
hehe. random pictures turn out pretty epic sometimes, I have this one pic of kakashi showing Pikachu his Makeout Paradise book! they were'nt posing or anything, my friend just took a picture of them!

perhaps I'll save the goofy posing for the end of the day, after I've been exhausted over doing the same poses and am hyped up on energy drink. lol.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 08:09:05 pm
yeah same....also as time passes I tend to think of other poses that I can do at the end of the day.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: tofutakeout on October 09, 2008, 08:15:52 pm
you know the place that I tend to come up with poses for myself and for others is usually in the shower. XD it's just a great place to think, but enough about that. my friends usually tend to ask me to pose them like their a doll which I think is funny.

one of my friends I know is going to need some help considering she was just planning on doing peace signs for each pic. it's ever popular and well known but I think it would get boring and tiring quickly.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 08:19:09 pm
yeah even with having about six poses planed out you run through them very very quickly and then you want something new.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: tofutakeout on October 09, 2008, 08:27:46 pm
true. I'm trying to come up with a couple, then the rest I'll just be spontaneous on them I guess. what ever works the best and fastest.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 08:29:19 pm
I'll figure some out....plus for k con lite a lot of them are going to be fan pictures ;D
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: Wuntvor on October 09, 2008, 09:28:09 pm
I think the best pose I saw at the con was Hikaru, from Angelic Layer, curled up on the couch, in the Lobby, in the fetal position, sound asleep.  Kawaii!  Unfortunately, I couldn't ask her if it was OK to take a picture or not. Was asked not to, because I didn't have her permission.  Maybe you should all think about posing asleep?  Also got a kick out of the Macys pics of the Sand Village ninja posing with the manequins.  Those were just priceless.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 09, 2008, 09:31:03 pm
I liked those too....but every time we tried to get a group photo one of us was turned around x.x So we took individual ones XD
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: shanime_panda on October 09, 2008, 09:35:18 pm
haha. I love sleeping positions, and using things around you to pose with.
I'll probably do at least one picture of each of my cosplays asleep XD
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: tofutakeout on October 09, 2008, 09:43:44 pm
I know what you mean. sleep positions are always good but I wouldn't say so for at a con but posing with objects around you always works. especially when your out of ideas and creativity gets a moment to shine. it helps with posing and with coming up with new ones. :3

random pictures are great xD I got a few fun random ones.... my favorite wasnt that random and I'm not so sure they knew they looked a certain way but it was in chess and it was my pic of airth and the black night...

I don't get why some people don't want pictures taken of them while they're asleep.  I mean, if they're drooling, or in an awkward position, then I guess that might be embarassing...  If I ever fall asleep in cosplay, I guess I'll just tell my friends to give permission to anyone who wants to take a picture. :P

I know that when me and my friend get to portland, we're going to the japanese gardens for a photoshoot in our akatsuki cosplay! I figured it would be a lovely location for that cosplay, and I even have and idea of an L and Light [L with white angel wings and Light with black ones] walking down a road by a cemetary

I just hope there won't be any funerals going on if we decided to do that photo XD

Post by: Serika on October 10, 2008, 10:03:54 pm
Wow, I'm surprised so many people posted here! 8D

I've never really seen people in sleeping poses (I tend to look straight ahead when I'm walking in crowded places...), but it seems a little bit weird to be taking someone's picture while they're sleeping.  Even if you get permission, it seems a bit too...intimate, I guess.  

But getting a good area is..you know, good.  We had our Phoenix Wright photoshoots by the pool, and while this gave us a lot of space, personally I thought it seemed a little strange and unfitting for a court sim(...) game.  It was still fun, but some of the pictures just look a little funky with this giant pool in front of us.  

This year, I tended to take my lanyard off for photos... Or I'd tuck it to where it wouldn't be noticeable, or something.

All I do when someone asks me for a pic is ask them what do they want me to do? BUT this year now that ima be cloakless sasori I have plenty of secret poses >:3

I got pics taken of me when I was trying to climb the tree and found a brownie and tryed to chase L with it XD and I think I was sleeping once when someone took my pic but I was on the picnic table >w>

hahaha. I'd only ask to take a picture of someone while they're sleeping if they look reallllyyy cute or are in a funny position.
I know I might fall asleep next to either itachi or tobi on our way to portland because I'm gonna be squished in the middle seat XP

Pretty poor of me to not think about poses ahead of time...lol.  I am always just so into making the costume that by the time I am wearing it at the con, I realize...how do I pose? ^_~

Most of the time, I just wing it.  A couple of times, I asked people how they wanted me to pose...awkward... lol.

Sometimes, I just fall back on my PEACE sign.   ;D

PEACE!

Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?

I like only doing two. If I have more then that it gets too stressful. Plus when you are with a group no matter how much you like the other costumes you will want to be in costume that matches the group. I promise you that.

Post by: nikkiolie on October 20, 2008, 09:21:11 pm
yeah but she was saying that she would LIKE to do it and she hasn't been on at all since then so I don't count on people unless they say that they ARE doing it.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 20, 2008, 09:22:56 pm
Ahh...Im retarted X3 I AM doing it if I can find a place that sells the Sakon cosplay right now I cant find anything DX
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 20, 2008, 09:24:14 pm
Yeah I looked for a little while and couldn't find anything.....that would be one you would have to make.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 20, 2008, 09:27:38 pm
Its like have you people heard of him at all!?!? XD

Hmm maybe I could order the kimimaru cosplay but alter it to make myself sakon/ukon
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 20, 2008, 09:30:11 pm
You would be better off ordering the Orochimaro and altering that
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 20, 2008, 09:31:36 pm
Well....The site I order from doesnt have an orochimaru *has to send in money orders* Atleast I dont think it does. But I guess it would be easyer
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 20, 2008, 09:58:22 pm
well kimimaro's costume is completely different from Sakon's....Orochimarus is much closer to his >_> Its going to be A LOT of work to alter Kimimaro's
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 20, 2008, 10:00:40 pm
I found an orochimaru cosplay! Burried deep in the website XD I have to figure out how to make the second head and make a giant scroll then I should be about done with it by sakuracon
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 21, 2008, 07:11:22 am
I would say get the costume oversized because Sakon has long sleeves and Orochimaru has short sleeves. It should be easy to take a costume in but much harder to add to the length.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 21, 2008, 12:59:00 pm
Well I'll have to find a place that does that somewere around this hic town but then after I finnish all of the sakon I still have to find my perfect pose and a giant scroll Im even gonna get in way down to the epicness and get the second head on my back  ;D
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 21, 2008, 03:12:34 pm
that would be very very cool.
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 21, 2008, 03:15:30 pm
Very cool but hard to sit in chairs XD I say Its worth it I'll put skin colored latex over a foam head add the eyes and lip stick and everything to make it very detailed and realistic ^^
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 21, 2008, 03:17:16 pm
that sounds expensive and time consuming x.x
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 21, 2008, 03:18:43 pm
Eh! Its worth it! =3 I like to try my best to look alot like the person just jumped out of the Tv or something. I dont like looking junky DX
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: nikkiolie on October 21, 2008, 03:19:40 pm
same but that is going to cost a lot of money......I don't have that much money because I have to pay for most of my costumes by my self. The kimimaro costume cost about $200
Title: Re: Photo/Posing Discussion?
Post by: KinkyFriedChicken on October 21, 2008, 03:21:14 pm
I pay for my costumes myself also! I shop at a place were the oro costume only costed about $110  ;D
