Tacoma Chinese Reconciliation Park
This was the location I used to shoot the Palanquin D.Va photoshoot. I was fortunate enough to enjoy the scenery from the location while waiting for my assistant and the cosplayer. It turned out to feel a lot more serene than I had originally thought. One thing that I found slightly annoying was the sight […]
Little Busters House

The Beginning of a New Era
Hello! This is the very first post of the website~ Prior to this, I used to post all of my photography on my blog. As a result, it became extremely convoluted and it was getting difficult to tell what was a normal blog post versus a photography post. Plus, when directing cosplayers I’ve taken pictures […]
