The Boss

[DanOstergren]

From a cosplay shoot I did last week. Does anybody here recognize the character?

Lit using one Neewer S101-400 flash with a 47" Godox umbrella octagon softbox and a white reflector. Canon 5D MKIII, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens set to f/6.3, 1/125th sec, ISO 100.

No, but as usual a beautifully done portrait.

Love the lighting. Character from pokeymon?

 

[Black_Square]

Im guessing Pokémon, although I only know pikachu! Faultless portrait. Lovely back ground too!

 

[jeffashman]

Wonderfully done! Can't place the character, although he is holding a pokemon ball.

lol... I cheated, well done!

 

[vintagesnaps]

I don't know much of anything Pokemon but since when is there a real person portraying one of those characters?? I never know what's going on with these things...

Thank you so much Sharon.

 

[DanOstergren]

Must be Kevin Spacey, well, I think he looks like that guy (?)

I guess they do look a little similar.

Thank you. Yes it's a character from Pokemon.

Yes it's from Pokemon. Thank you! The backdrop is a composite. I bought it from here: Digital Backdrops

Cosplaying is immensely popular to the point where there are giant anime and fandom conventions that are largely dedicated to cosplayers, and some people even make a good living doing it.

For anybody curious, he's cosplaying as the villain from the first three Pokemon games, Giovanni. He's the leader of a fictional crime organization called Team Rocket.

I've played Pokemon GO with my granddaughters, had a lot of fun walking along the walking trails and finding the different creatures and capturing them. Haven't played the console/PC game though.

I know very little about Pokémon, so never would have guessed. But seeing this character makes me appreciate how well done this was. The model is convincing, and both your lighting and position are perfect! Great job.
