My second shoot at the 2020 Wellington Cosplay Photofest was with Natasha .

What was unusual about this shoot in terms of cosplay is that most cosplayers recreate characters from either movies, games or cartoons particularly Japanese anime. Natasha had created her own character that she called Rainella the clown.

This means that there was no reference in which to place the character giving us total freedom. We decided that the Lady Norwood Rose Garden and Begonia House in the botanical Gardens would be an ideal location. All of the images were shot under natural light at f7.1.

As the Begonia House is a large greenhouse there was no need to add in additional lighting.

As you can imagine Natasha’s outfit attracted a lot of attention particularly from children.
