How about poses with strangers at a con? Like, when people notice your cosplay and want a picture? How do you pose with someone for a simple camera phone?
ZarZarBinks11 what I do is just a normal pose, as if you were by yourself with the other person joining you, or let them choose the pose and work around them.
The pose at 12:31 would be a good one for Sebastian and Ciel from Black Butler or Grell and Sebastian. Like, Ciel could use the pose that Kevin has and be holding a chess piece or a small pistol while Sebastian be on the ground with his knives and forks ready to throw at an opponent. With Grell instead of Ciel for the picture, Sebastian could hold the same pose as what I said before and Grell just replace Ciel, but be holding his chainsaw or scissors and be casting that pervy/creepy "I want you" look at Sebastian. You could also reverse their positions. Grell on the ground giving his signature wink-with-tongue-out pose and Sebastian standing with his back to the camera; a sinister smirk on his face and his knives and forks drawn. That's just an idea, though. I'm an artist/photographer (not professional or anything) and a major otaku, so that pose just sparked some brainstorming in me. XD
I would really love to do a posing with a big/small group of people. I have a group of about 10 people from the same anime so some tips would be awesome.
My friend and I attended a con dressed as Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee from RWBY. Our best pictures were taken when we were simply talking to each other. Romantic poses work well when you're close with the other person. If i hadnt known my Ruby we wouldn't have had some awesome shots
Thank you so much for all your videos, I really love them! I've been cosplaying for a few years, and I always have a hard time when it comes to posing, but your videos are very useful!
It has nothing to do with the real great video, but could you make a tutorial for the hairstyle you have here? It looks amazing and could also be helpful for cosplays. :)
love the video, you guys are adorable I kept giggling. Im a photographer myself but I need help on posing haha I get pretty shy, ill get millions of ideas and then forget them all in a con! lol thank you for the video! you guys rock!
QwQ OMG you are so amazing!!!!!!!!!! you are like an grandmother fairy!!!! I want to see your videos 100 times to learn! please don't stop making videos of posing and face expressions , you are like a lighthouse for cosplayers like us!!!! (I never had ideas of posing!)
What if you're posing with your friend and your characters aren't from the same series? Just want to know because I'm going to a convention with me friend soon and she's cosplaying Senbonzakura Miku while I'm going as Nozomi Tojo from Love Live! School Idol Project(uniform) and we happen to be going to the con together. We both have individual poses planned out but I just want to know in case somebody possibly wants a pic of us together for some reason
This is really great and I really enjoyed it. My friend and I are going to comic con as batgirl and supergirl and we were hoping for some cool crime fighting buddies poses. Do you have any suggestions? We will probably not being doing a big photo shoot. We just need simple poses for if people ask to take our picture.
Hi :) I got a few new ideas so thank you for the video and I would actually love another couple/friends poses video!! :) Also I think you could improve your videos a lot by structuring them more obviously (with captions or so) and if you'd cut out the times in between when nothing happens. just a thought :)
how do you pose with a char that is kind/cute but something like at times shes badass i get confuse on this personalities and some people just make it look like that char is more on cute and didnt show the badass part
Me and my sister will be crossplaying as L and light from death note. Do you have any tips on how we should pose with each other. I got a few ideas from watching some of your videos but I would like your suggestion on what we should do.
I really need help with what kind of poses to do for an upcoming shoot for Rize kamishiro from Tokyo ghoul. anybody got any ideas? I'm doing her ghoul form and need help looking elegant but scary at the same time lol
I am going to be with my friend and we r both girls and our anime is maid sama not very action like we r wearing maid cosplay can u or anyone help us think of some poses to do together ?
How could you pose for two of the same characters, except one is gender swapped? I got some ideas from this, but I justw anted your opinion since you look like you know what your doing
You'll want to try the back to back and mirror effect that we talked about. Even though the genders are different, the "mirror" effect would be cool because you ARE the same character. Here's some examples: goo.gl/bldCiM goo.gl/fTODP9 goo.gl/QbZOfo Or something where you are subtly touching: goo.gl/nsxKCo
Thank you very much for this, was having trouble thinking of poses for me and my friend's characters that have a sort of "conflicted" and for a while a "one sided love" relationship, with slight obsession from the character that is in love (which will be me). Also, thank you for the "no laugh" tip, been having trouble with this as well. Can't have a demon lord laughing in his future forced wife's face right? As for suggestions, I'd like to know how to properly tell your photographer what to do if they aren't a professional and you are looking for a certain type of picture. I often keep wishing I could take my own pictures, but I'm sure with better advise it could work out.
What about posing with a plush or stuffed animal of sorts? I noticed for props you did more with weapons. I cosplay characters like Jeri from Digimon Season 3 (Digimon Tamers) who has a puppet, an obsession with cream puffs, associated a lot with Callumon, and has her own Leomon digimon. I also have Mimi Tachikawa from Digimon season 1 with a couple small plushies. So these were things that I thought of watching this. How do you handle other props that aren't weaponry?
+finalfantasylover26 I'd typically say look at the anime, see how they're held, but as someone who's cosplayed characters with stuffies, hugging them or holding them in one hand, some sort of sweet in the other hand, usually works.
+brieann hayden that helps with a base and that's what I typically do. the problem with Jeri is that Leomon is huge. she rides on his shoulders. mine is 2 ft which makes me wonder how else I can include him
He can sit in front of you, slightly hunched over, but with the bigger character in like a few books and tiptoes, just to add a few inches. It's all about subtlity. But if you want side by side, "chibi" character can hold bigger characters arm, wrist, hand, etc. while on his knees (just remember to take the picture above ground level so his knees aren't visible)
I am going to be with my friend and we r both girls and R anime is maid sama not very action like we r wearing maid cosplay can u or anyone help us think of some poses to do together ?
+Jorjor With maids, something I like seeing is them holding serving trays in opposite directions (left maid holding left, right holding right) and maybe, depending on how close the characters are, holding hands or having the other hand just down in front of them. Expressions are important (smile for the master XD) so play with them first
Poor Kevin looks so uncomfortable.
Rehvengethedragon thats exactly what I thought
Poor baby
I was fine :) just a little on camera awkwardness
As long as you felt okay. Maybe because your partner looked so comfortable in comparison you looked a touch nervous.
+Elite Cosplay very ironic since a photographer a thing he is haha
cosplay poses with a stranger and group of strangers, please :D
Brie Tomboc yes!
I would use this........ If I had any anime/nerdy friends.
pethamsteroreo That's exactly what I thought. :D So many great ideas but noone to practice them with.
pethamsteroreo I got anime friends, but most of them would probably not couple cosplay with me. :(
I need someone to be the Yukio to my Rin 😂😂😂
E-Scythe samd

Ooo thanks for the idea I will use it next con I go to with my friendss!
"hello"
nozo the first thing I've ever heard Kevin say
Aw with the romantic ones she was blushing awww cute!
1:47, Hello, sexy voice. xD
Jk. Your vid helps me a lot. Thank you.
I would really love to do a posing with a big/small group of people. I have a group of about 10 people from the same anime so some tips would be awesome.
It's something we would like to do, but we have to wrangle a few friends together first!
Rewatching this... and all I could think was #abusekevin. Sigh, there goes all my hope of pre-con learning through giggles.
My friend and I attended a con dressed as Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee from RWBY. Our best pictures were taken when we were simply talking to each other. Romantic poses work well when you're close with the other person. If i hadnt known my Ruby we wouldn't have had some awesome shots
I love how respectful the guy is when she gets close or when she direct him
You're being choked in the air by strong, beastly Kevin. 10/10 XD
_νєяναιη_ 😂😂😂😂
If one of you, either your partner or you are flexible enough. I quite enjoy the kick blocking pose.
kevin is so awkward here :')

Kazama from the game Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi, that also has a rather conflicting anime adaption. ^^;
Heartshackles Oh cool, thanks for responding!
06.53 - 07.02

Possibly something like this.

I'm going as GRELL and my friend as the undertaker,Grell is having the two mini scissors. How would we pose together?
Kevin looks so uncomfortable
Cosplay poses for 3 people plllllllllssssssssss! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I cosplay characters like Jeri from Digimon Season 3 (Digimon Tamers) who has a puppet, an obsession with cream puffs, associated a lot with Callumon, and has her own Leomon digimon. I also have Mimi Tachikawa from Digimon season 1 with a couple small plushies. So these were things that I thought of watching this. How do you handle other props that aren't weaponry?
I'd also be curious about that, I'm working on a Jeri cosplay also! It'd apply to Pokemon too. :-)
+finalfantasylover26 I'd typically say look at the anime, see how they're held, but as someone who's cosplayed characters with stuffies, hugging them or holding them in one hand, some sort of sweet in the other hand, usually works.
+brieann hayden that helps with a base and that's what I typically do. the problem with Jeri is that Leomon is huge. she rides on his shoulders. mine is 2 ft which makes me wonder how else I can include him
He can sit in front of you, slightly hunched over, but with the bigger character in like a few books and tiptoes, just to add a few inches. It's all about subtlity. But if you want side by side, "chibi" character can hold bigger characters arm, wrist, hand, etc. while on his knees (just remember to take the picture above ground level so his knees aren't visible)
I am going to be with my friend and we r both girls and R anime is maid sama not very action like we r wearing maid cosplay can u or anyone help us think of some poses to do together ?
+Jorjor you could always look back in the anime, and do serving poses, holding a tray close to your body, etc
+Jenny Yao thanks a lot, I appreciate it ;)
+Jorjor With maids, something I like seeing is them holding serving trays in opposite directions (left maid holding left, right holding right) and maybe, depending on how close the characters are, holding hands or having the other hand just down in front of them. Expressions are important (smile for the master XD) so play with them first
