So far in my cosplay career (I don't think you can even call it one yet), I've been to one outdoor photoshoot, and Pa was my photographer. Remember Isshi? I didn't talk much about it or put pictures here (because I was too lazy), so if you guys still haven't seen the pictures, you can go to my gallery. I'm building 2 more at Cosplaylab and Cure, but Cosplay.com is still the best.
So anyway, last Sunday I went on my second shoot with a new photographer in tow. Chi Chang picked up photography like what, a year ago? So it was a great chance for both of us to get something out of the shoot. He's easy to work with, and finds all the right spots to take pretty pictures, so we got some nice shots really early on.
Speaking of early, we agreed to meet at early in the morning in town. But both of us ended up at different stations (miscommunication right at the beginning is no good D:), and I took my time to struggle with my wig, so we started late. XD
It was a hot day, unfortunately, so the mood didn't really fit the anime (supposed to be dull and gloomy). When we started out the sun was starting to burn, and I was in long sleeves and tights so hell yeah, it was hot.
By late morning, the sun was really burning and we melted like crazy. The glare from the sun didn't really help either. The photographer complained that it ruined the photos.
We ended our shoot at the Sky Garden in Suntec City. Btw, don't try to dip your feet into that pool. The water was cool, but there were dead leaves inside and I spent my time sitting there and worrying about bacteria getting into my toes as the photographer snapped the shots from behind my back.
We've got more than a hundred photos from this shoot, and I've got more than enough good shots for the gallery. It isn't practical to publish all of them. But I feel that it'd be a waste so I'm gonna put some of them here.

This one isn't that accurate because Yin does survelliance by touching water and not walls; but this picture's pretty nice.

This is more like it. But the edge of the fountain was slanted, so I had a tough time trying hard not to fall in.

We like this shot.

These shots came out really nice; but for the gallery the subject is a bit too small. It's a waste really, because they looked really good if you see them full-sized.

I personally prefer back shots rather than shots of my face. How ironic. ^^;

One of my favourites.

On the move.

Tee hee.

Cosplayer at work.

Here's what went on behind all those shots. The photog's behind the lens so you can only see his name. XD And that's me trying to hide from the midday sun in between shots. :P

The photog found this sign carved into the rock at the Sky Garden. Ok, who's the crazy pair who did this? O.o
I'll be uploading the best shots soon into my gallery, so do check that place out. In the meantime I've got something new to work on already!! But I'll take a break first before starting on my new project. And I'm starting work next week too, so this is the last week of freedom for me. I'm gonna slack the week away! >D
Piisu.
