We did a photoshoot at the Arboretum last Saturday. Thanks Minh for organizing this shoot.
The location was extremely beautiful and full of potential for great photographs. However we wasn't aware that a license is required to take pictures there. According to a lady (who claimed to be the head of their photography department) the type of photography we did, with lots of "costumes" and "big camera", would be considered "commercial photography" and thus require a commercial photography rental of their location.
Because we didn't have such license and we didn't wanna break the rule too badly we ended up didn't take too many pictures. Fortunately we split into smaller photog-coser team so hopefully everybody got some pictures taken. I was with Noel,
mikecabusi ,
itsukayume and
hakuku . During our shoot Mike was working with haku (as
Ginko) and I was working with Jen (as
Renzu). I'm a big fans of
Mushishi, however it is not a very popular series in the US so it was really nice to see you guys in Mushishi's outfits!! It was sooo much rush last Sat I wish I could have taken more pictures of you guys =/ Oh well, maybe next time...
Before we head out of the Arboretum I was able to get some headshots of
ravendarkwings 's awesome Sadako from Ringu. ^^
( Renzu, Mushishi )It was really fun seeing everybody! Although the shoot itself was a bit short but overall I love the experience ^^ Being chased around was kinda fun too (?) XDD
