Hi,

I'm a pro photographer based in Tampa, and I'll be available for private shoots on Friday evening and Sunday daytime. My usual style leans toward hard, edgy, and contrasty, good for aggressive or dark characters. I generally don't do "light and dreamy" so if that's in your character's persona, I may not be right for you.

I'm asking $20 for approximately half an hour of shooting with groups of up to four. I will deliver five to ten finished images (electronically) within a couple of weeks. I may add additional layout, graphic design, and special effects at my own discretion, if the images lend themselves well to it.

I haven't nailed down specific locations yet; I'm hoping to scout out the con site between now and then. I may be willing to travel to other nearby places along International Drive, schedule permitting. I won't have a badge on Friday since we're getting over there so late, so off-site locations are definitely a possibility on Friday; there's a lot of interesting stuff nearby. Sunday will all be in the immediate con vicinity, but maybe we can move off-site later in the day.

I can be contacted through email (nathan at avidchick.net), PM here on cosplay.com, or on Facebook.

Availability:
Friday 8:00pm: open
Friday 8:45pm: open
Friday 9:30pm: open
Friday 10:15pm: open
Friday late night - tentatively more open slots if I get fully booked otherwise.

Saturday: No open slots for private shoots, but if you see me around the con I'll be glad to get a quick candid or two. I'm planning to shoot the Borderlands group at 11:30, Steampunk meetup at 1pm, the DC shoot at 2pm, the Universal costume contest at 3:30pm, and the Villainy after-party at the Rosen.

Sunday 11:00am: open
Sunday 1:00pm: open
Sunday 1:45pm: open
Sunday 2:30pm: open
Sunday 3:15pm: open

Here's a short selection of my work from Dragon*Con, in no particular order. You can click through to my Flickr to see the whole set - there are lots more, including my walkabout candids.

You can also checkout my cosplay and costume portfolio on our website, though bear in mind that many of these were in a studio setting:

One more thing, I might be in full or partial costume while I'm shooting.

Also. The shots in the above post are indoors or at night. Sunday when the light is strong outside, this is closer to what you can expect:

If you see me on Saturday, I'll be happy to do a quick hallway candid, free of charge. With my wearable lighting gear, even the simple hallway snapshots are usually pretty decent.
