Portraits - Lamento 2

Darkroom black and white series for my Intermediate B/W Film Photography class. I decided to do a 'high fashion'/classic set of photos on cosplay; I thought it'd be a neat juxtaposition, since cosplay's commonly thought of as low-brow.

James and Audrey as Kaltz and Kagari from the Japanese computer game Lamento -Beyond the Void-. Shot at the Cal Poly Arboretum, San Luis Obispo. They had to get up, drive to school and get into costume by 7-8am on a frigid Saturday morning for my shoot. The most sporting, awesome models I've ever had the pleasure to take pictures of. And such great cosplayers!
