Alright folks, so as you know, I have my 2011 tour schedule up. It is a list of about 20+ cons I hope to hit. There'll be some changes for the new tour - well, besides the fact that my tour stops have doubled since the 2010 tour - I am bringing the photo booth with me and I'll be in the dealer hall.
I'm sure many of y'all know of Epic Cosplay, the wig company so I'll be with them at most of the cons and I'll have my photo booth setup with them. Basically, this is the same thing y'all have seen me in at 2009 - a paper background and my lights. I'll be offering my service as a photographer to y'all. For $20, you get 15+ high-res (300 dpi) images taken and email to you within a few days. No watermark. The images will look exactly as the book does. You can enlarge the image up to 10 inches x 15 inches at full resolution of 300 dpi. Image are for personal use, not commercial - i.e you make a bunch of 8x10s and sell them. Generally if you mass produce it, that is commercial. If you make a few to give to friends, that's fine.
Now what if you have a friend with you and want a photo of both of y'all as well as single shots ? I would charge $10 extra so it makes it $20 = $10= $30. Each addition person is another $10. By the way, the width of my background is 4 ft long so I doubt I can squeeze more than 3 people. I say 2 people is the best amount.
If you purchase a copy of "Cosplay in America" there, it'll be 50% off for the photo prices. By the way, if you are in the book, you get the photos taken and sent to you for free. Just my little way of thanking y'all ^^
So why get the photos done from me since $20 looks kinda pricey ?
1) There are photo set-ups at cons and you usually get something like a 8x10 printed out for $10 bucks. In my case, you get 15+ images for $20 and they are in a digital format. My files can be printed up to 10 x 15 inch at 300 dpi so you get more photos than just a few.
2) You get professional photos taken by me, the author of Cosplay in America. I've photographed over 1,600 cosplayers from coast to coast and it'll make a great souvenir of the con ^^
Here's a photo at PMX held here in Los Angeles. As you can see, I'll be setup in front with the wigs in the back.
EXCEPTIONS
For San Japan, since I am their official photographer and have my own room, the backdrop paper will be much bigger and prices will be different for that con. More details as SJ gets closer but prices will be much cheaper.
Well, I think that about covers it ! I'm looking forward to the 2011 tour ! I plan to be very busy shooting photos and videos, blogging on my website, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Tumblr. Right now I have 20 cons listed = 20 weekends. There's 52 weekends in a year so close to half my year I'll be out at cons.....man, what did I get myself into lol ! I hope to meet many of y'all ou around the country and believe me, it is gonna be a crazy f'ing year !
