Hello, some of you may know me from deviantart.com as CannedMadMan66. Its the same guy and I'm here to invite you into my business. Here my goal is to not only better my photography skills but to also help some of my fellow otaku as well in doing so. Cosplaying is an expensive hobby and attending conventions can be expensive too and this business here is a way to help those people trying to get their cosplays out there and to afford the things needed to be a cosplayer. Right now I am mostly working with female models but males will hopefully later join in this group.
The process for commissioning for cosplay photos is simple. Just follow the following instructions if you are interested in buying photos.
1.) Email me: Contact me with a good way and time to get back in contact with you and what you want and we can begin.
2.) State Your Request: Tell me what it is you would like to see from the selected model and I will run it past them to see if they are okay with the idea of the shoot or not. Rules on this will be posted later.
3.) Send Your Payment via Paypal: I am only accepting this type of payment. My email for Paypal will be disclosed upon sending you the bill through Paypal. Once payment is received the shoot will take place as soon as everything is ready.

Refund Policy
I understand that there are difficulties that may occur with this business and if something should severally delay the shoot or something happens that the shoot cannot be done, you will be refunded the respective amount of money you paid. We will let you know if there are complications or if the shoot cannot be done or if there is a need for more time. Other than that, expect about a two week waiting period for your photos. If you wait a week longer without notification then you will immediately be refunded.
Rules and Regulations on Commissions
We are open to all the commissions we can get but there are some ground rules on what will and will not be tolerated when doing this. Remember that all requests in commissions must first be okayed by the models themselves before things can begin. Once I run your commission past them and they are okay with the idea of what it is you wan then the bill can be sent and the shoot can begin. If the model is not comfortable with the idea of how they will be posing or doing in the shoot, they can decline the commission and we will ask you request something else that they are comfortable with. Other than that, please follow these basic rules when making your requests.
1.)Respect The Model(s): Any slurs, negative comments, or all around inappropriate comments about the models displayed here or when making your request will lead to immediate refusal. The people here are not to be talked down about for what they are doing and their physical appearance is not to be criticized or mocked. If you do that you will be banned from this blog and we will refuse all commissions by you.
2.)No Overly Sexual Requests in Posing: We respect that you want the pictures to be creative like you envision, but that does not mean that you are allowed to ask for material that is clearly pornographic. No yaoi, no yuri, no bondage, nothing that would make these photos X-rated. There is one model who is willing to do these sorts of things but that will be treated as a separate case. Everyone else here you must abide by these rules.
3.)Do Not Claim Ownership of The Photos You Receive or Post Them as If They Were You're Own: There is a privacy policy here and if these pictures are spotted anywhere else online charges will be pressed if the model did not want the photos to be posted in places other than here.
Pointers For Making Your Commissions
In making your commission you are asking for models to pose for these photos. In order for that to work, we ask that you be as specific as possible on what it is you want to see. Don't leave things up to guess work by us and then ask for a refund when the photos aren't like you wanted them, we will not refund photos we were not given specific instructions on. If you want good photos, take these ideas into mind while coming up with the idea for your commission:
-know how many photos you are getting then lay out the series of poses based on how many you get.
-come up with a scenario for the entire shoot and how each picture shall be shot to follow that scenario.
-Specifically tell us what pose you want the model in and what angle you want it shot at. Typically we shoot at different angles for sample work to hold on to but other than that, if we don't know what angle you want then we will just send you the picture which we think looks best.
-Tell us what kind of background you want in the photo shoot. Depending on weather or time of year, we may not be able to find the type of background you want (e.g. No outdoor shoots in winter.). These are all done in Ohio so if you aren't familiar with our climate know that it does get very cold here and seasons can be way off some years with snow coming late, spring coming late, and summer being short lasting. Try to think about what time of year it is and ask beforehand what is avaliable to us so we can try to find the background you like before you make your commission.
- Whatever the cosplay is, try to ask for pictures that are in character for the person. Meaning, don't try to make a typically shy character pose and act like a whore.
Photo Types
We do shoot cosplay photos but here is a specific list of what types of photos we can do.
Cosplay: Obviously. If the models have the character and you like how they make that character look we'll shot it.
Fashion: Like the goth chick, nerdy girl, school girl, etc. look? If our models have a decent outfit that fits that category that you would like to see photos of we can do it.
Couples: This falls under a doubles shoot which are priced differently from normal. Some of our models may happen to have a significant other and if so, if they have a cosplay of an anime/manga couple that you like, they can do a romantic shoot for you. However, please do keep in mind the guidelines. No explicit content or over display of emotions that would make the couple feel uncomfortable.
Barefoot: I posted photos of it on deviantart.com and they were pretty popular. SOME NOT ALL models are open to this and the one who are will have a note on their display here if they are. Please note that photos of barefoot cosplay girls/guys are not to be treated as foot fetish photos. Meaning, no worshiping, sucking, licking or anything sexual like that when requesting for barefoot photos. Tickling varies depending on the model but if he/she thinks that its too sexual they can decline from doing the shoot. We are very strict on this.
