Hi, I am taking a chance here I am a photography student at Dawson College, and I am looking for model cosplayers to pose for variety of projects. May be location or studio. I am looking forward meeting people with interesting ideas and views! Contact me!

Hi, you are indeed taking a chance here, as less than 1% (estimated) of all Montreal cosplayers visit this forum (or other sub-forum).

In any case, you'll have to follow 2 rules:

1. Show work: Please show some sample shots of your photography. If you have no cosplay-related photos, then something similar like general portraiture will suffice. You can directly show photos in your posts or link out to a gallery like deviantART or Flickr.

2. No charging on first encounters: Please don't charge any money to cosplayers for any photoshoots AND to give them their photos. You may start charging once you become familiar to them and have proven yourself, but initially, you should shoot and give them their photos for free.

The brand of camera has no importance, it's how you use your gear and how the end-results look. But statistically, about 50% of cosplay photographers in Montreal use Canon, 30% Nikon, 10% Sony and 10% other brands. I and my close friends use Canon dSLRs.
