Sailor Moon Photo Shoot with Jodie

By Neil Creek • January 25, 2009

A Sailor Moon costume photoshoot was planned on the Manifest forums for quite a while, but everyone soon started dropping out. In the end, only Jodie was able to make it, but we were still keen to go ahead. Fortunately Jodie is a fantastic cosplayer and good friend, and together with Nakey (Mark) as another photographer, the three of us had a lot of fun shooting photos in a local park on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Jodie looked gorgeous, don’t you think?

The shoot was great fun, and we really enjoyed all the bemused, amused and amazed views from the others in the park of all ages. The childrens’ reactions were especially entertaining, and some of the parents were even overheard to say “I used to watch that show!”

The clear sky and time of day we were shooting resulted in very contrasty light, so most of the photos you see here were assisted by using off camera flash, in the strobist style. I’ve included exposure details and strobist information under each photo below.

Scroll to the bottom of the post, beneath the photos, to see links to my gallery of the full 100 photos from the shoot, as well has the photos that Nakey and I took on Jodie’s camera, linked to her gallery.
