Paris Rocketeer Photo by Chris Perez
While Rocketeer is probably one of my most shot costumes I don't thing I've ever shared this complete set of first set here. So I hope some of these shots are new to you
Both were shot when I was in Paris years ago, the ones on the inception bridge (with the Eiffel tower in the background, it was 40, and very windy and trying to dodge all the tourist on the bridge as the sun was going down was a challenge but Chris Perez fif a great job.
There was actually a 3rd shoot that I did at night with a photographer and we shot for over an hour in the 30 degrees as we wove in and out throughout the small streets of Paris.. Sadly the guy completely bailed and I never got any shots from that. I was disappointed because every photoshoot is tiring and takes time, but also puts wear and tear on the costume..
I am FAR from a good model which requires me to have to work with great photographers to compensate for my short commings.. Far to often early in my cosplay time I've done shoots and actually torn costumes to get a shot to work with a photographer that had the photos are totally unusable.
Still one of my favourite costumes to wear, I'm even thinking about recasting the helmet and rocket pack again to make them even lighter now that I have a bit more knowledge on how to do those things.
