Photographer Available - Southern California

FiveRings · 01-22-2010, 02:23 AM

AX2011 Update: I will only be doing a couple free shoots per day at AX 2011 to give everyone I shoot with as much attention as possible and still enjoy the con (as last year I was shooting all day and forgot to eat). Once the 2 slots per day are filled, I'll only be taking paid requests. The rate for these will be $50/hour for groups of 4 or less.

I've done a few cosplay shoots and am always looking to do some more when time permits. I like using series-appropriate or fun/creative locations. I'm usually available nights and weekends.

I don't charge but will gladly accept any offers for ramen, curry, or other deliciousness.

You can see my work here:

deviantArt: http://fiverings.deviantart.com/
facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FiveRi...2884546?v=wall

I've also done a majority of the photos in the following gallery:

Feel free to post/PM me if you'd like to schedule something. And if you've worked with me before, I'd love it if you chimed in!

Fiverings = teh awesome. =3

Fiverings found me through the AX Forums, after having taken my pictures there as Yoko. We later set up a private shoot (after a long time of me being lazy about re-building my gun haha). It was my first shoot ever, so I was REALLY nervous about the whole thing, but he made it a REALLY fun and enjoyable experience. =3

I really do love how he likes to choose settings which pertain to the character or its series, because that gives the pictures a lot more power imo~ If you look in his or my profile, you can see the shoot we did of my Yoko cosplay, which I was really happy with. ^-^ We just did another shoot this past weekend, and I had a blast. It was more like hanging out honestly than doing a strict photoshoot or anything.

Definitely recommend him! And especially if you've never had a photoshoot before, don't be scared to do it! He's really friendly (although very shy at first :P) and fun to do pics with, and his pictures are awesome~!

I hope I didn't talk in circles.. kind of on NyQuil atm. XD And very tired, haha. <3

I'm mostly in LA and OC, but I don't mind driving to SD/IE/Ventura county if I think a shoot is worth it.

Vash_Fanatic · 01-30-2010, 12:32 AM

This man is amazing.

I had found one of his pictures he had taken of me at AX as Yoko, it was really pretty and I was very pleased with it. Then we set up a photoshoot a couple weeks later (It was my first photo shoot, didn't know what to do really ><). He's a clam, laid back guy. Very nice to work with and very creative. Even though he says he's new to the world of photography, I don't believe him. He's far better than some seasoned "professionals" I have seen.

I have done 2 and a half shoots with him (half cause one got messed up..

) and I have never had such good results from a shoot.

I recommend him 100%.

My profile has the Yoko Beach Bikini shoot I did with him and also a Princess Velvet shoot.

Wonderful photos, check them out.

Fremen · 01-31-2010, 02:05 PM

I've tagged along with Fiverings as a photographer and I can definitely vouch for him. He is very professional and easy going. Not to mention his results are pretty damn good.

Seifer-sama · 02-04-2010, 12:00 PM

I looked through your work and it is really impressive. My group and I would love to schedule a photo shoot sometime in the near future if you are available.

KawawaInterlude · 02-09-2010, 01:38 PM

amazing stuff. you need an apprentice? I wanna learn more about how to photograph people. Perhaps I can tag along at one of your shoots.

RisuKim · 02-10-2010, 12:40 AM

I'm just trying to get back into the modeling game. Glamourcon is a con I'm shooting to run to right now with my agency. I am just looking for photographers for TFP work.
I don't need the photos to be fixed up, I just need the shots. I'm also building a website that might be running in a year or so.
I also have another model I'm managing who is looking for TFP work.
If ANYONE is interested please Please let me know by PM-ing me.
I am in the Hollywood Area (yeah I'm in the right town) If you needed to know Location.
