This. A good majority of the cosplayers that I've come across won't refuse a request for a photo and are willing to try poses that you suggest to them. And if you can't think of poses, there are some who already have plenty of poses to unleash.
Yeah, I also enjoy fooling around with the colors in post. The subject matter just lends itself to being creative with colors.
BTW, love the lighting and processing for the first photo, Ricky.
