Animé Overload Festival

I sent text message to my friend Mel two days ago. I asked her to see the Animé Overload Festival at the SM Convetion Center at Mall of Asia. I'm not really a fan of animé or cosplay and I guess neither Mel too. The first cosplay that I attended last September was in SM Megatrade Hall. A friend invited me to take photos. I kinda like it because of the colorful outfits that really look nice in the photos. So this time I tagged along Mel to experience the same. This is Mel's first time to see cosplay.

The girl in the picture is Lain. I met her in Cosplay Mania a couple of months ago at SM Megatrade Hall. She cosplayed Baiken of Guilty Gear. This time she's portraying Nyuu/Lucy from Elfen Lied. To see more of Lain as Nyu please click this link : Nyuu.

I've also posted other cosplayer pictures. Please follow this link: Animé Overload

A day of cosplay

This is a fun day of cosplay. Originally,my schedule today is a fashion shoot/goth shoot with friends whom I met at the Photowalk. John (a.k.a ONE) organized the said activity. Since it's been raining for a week now, the schedule was moved to a later date. If the weather permits, hopefully the scehdule pushes through next week.

ONE invited me yesterday to come and take photos of the Cosplay at the SM Megatrade Hall. I said yes since i haven't got other things in my schedule. I really have no idea what Cosplay was. I didn't care to research or even ask what Cosplay is! Usually, I do search the net for information regarding the subject that I'm gonna take photo. I thought it was a concert. Silly me! LOL! I should have asked my brother, he knows this well!

It's fascinating to see participants don costumes of their favorite character. They do exert efforts to emulate the look and portray the characters.

As of this writing, here's what I learned from Wikipedia - CAMEKO, short for "Camera Kozo" or "Camera Boy". It's a japanese term for those who photograph player. Originally the cameko give prints of their photos to players as gifts. =)
