This was my very first time shooting cosplay. It was 2019, and I didn’t have the best gear, but I had the drive to tell stories through my camera. I explored different angles and locations to capture not just the costume or the character, but the essence of a warrior at peace. It was a challenge… but also a memory that marked a turning point in my journey as a photographer. I wanted to take Asuna out of her virtual world and place her in a real one, surrounded by nature, water, and natural light. No studio, no flashes… just me, the camera, and the moment. Camera: Canon 400D Lenses: 18-55; 50 f1.8; 70-300
