LMAO, so many of the early "BEST" photos have parts of the bodies cut off, so they're definitely not based on composition.

That said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

>>10505786
I like Muze’s photos but they get boring after a while because he shoots exclusively for the same 4 cosplayers over and over again. It’d be nice if he branched out and shot cosplayers that aren’t just petite Asian girls. But then again, he’s Muze. He doesn’t need variety because he’s already the best of the best.

This is facts, cosplay photography is almost detached from cosplay with how much photoshop is involved to make it look good. The core outfits are garbage tier and you can tell they're cheap as fuck.

[Anonymous No.10506264]

>>10506260
This. Cosplayers/photographers put in massive amounts of work into photoshopping costumes too. A lot of pre-shoops show that the costume is ill-fitting or badly made.

I'm pretty sure this picture is multiple photos composited together for the skirt and face, etc. The top is probably just before the face got composited from a better photo-- it's pretty hard to get the model to have a good expression when you're trying to get a moving photo.

[Anonymous No.10506472]

>>10506463
Yeah, her face becomes half its width and her eye becomes twice as big because she’s moving and not because of photoshop. Sure. Let’s not even mention how her bodice becomes perfectly fitted or how the glove on her right hand becomes less wrinkled and tighter.

[Anonymous No.10506476]

>>10506472
You know what compositing means right? It's literally using photoshop to stitch multiple photos together. You take the best parts of every photo to make one nice one.

[Anonymous No.10506480]

nayrt but it looks more like liquify and heal/clone stamp than composting.

You know what compositing means right? It's literally using photoshop to stitch multiple photos together. You take the best parts of every photo to make one nice one. They probably took multiple shots of her moving the skirt around and combined them for the one flare it has right now, then took a more flattering photo of her face and pasted it on afterwards.

[Anonymous No.10506509]

>>10506481
that definitely is photoshop on her face retard look at the eye. her face has nothing to do with the compositing.

You can literally composite a better face/better features on, retard. Compositing is literally the definition of photoshopping, why are you being so insane? Take your vendetta filters off, christ.

[Anonymous No.10506529]

>>10506481
I agree with >>10506480. The edit you claim is “composited” looks more liquified than anything else. You can easily smooth out wrinkles and change how the skirt flares with liquify, and it’s much more simple than compositing too.

Nice samefag, kek. No one has said a single time that there wasn't liquify or smoothing in the photo, you absolute tard. The "before" photo is already fucking composited, do you not see the damn pod floating in the air and the smoke? The original anon was saying that the face in the "after" is likely composited on.

[Anonymous No.10506669]

>>10506595
>the face in the "after" is likely composited on
nayrt (pic related) but her face shop looks more like photoshop’s auto slimming feature than composting or liquify since her whole head shape changes. The smoke and bot are obviously composted though; you’d have to be the world’s biggest tard to think they’re real.

[Anonymous No.10506671]

>>10506595
it's not though. the after is after the slimming and beautifying shoop. both photos are already composited and the only thing that changes in the after is the egregious beauty shoop and eye enlargement.

[Anonymous No.10506679]

>>10506595
Did someone hurt your feefees by posting your unshooped coswaifu? Kek. The background is composted but the edit on her face and body is liquify and warping.

i don’t have a horse in this race so idc about either side, but it’s funny how an argument originally about editing costumes turned into an argument whether a photo was composited or liquified, which then into a shitfest with vendetta accusations...
yes, cosplayers do indeed photoshop their costumes to be better fitting. fashion brands do it too. yes, the photo is composited but it’s also liquified. both sides can shut up now and let us have a nice photo thread.

So, for you retards "absolute best cosplay" is pretty girls in striking poses. This one is not even a mediocre cosplay. Wrong boots and gloves, shoddy staff and top. But hey, she's showing skin.

[Anonymous No.10507136]

I've always wondered why there is such a culture of focus on the photographers in NA/the west but not in the rest of the world and I'm starting to understand why

When was the last time you heard about a legendary photographer/cosplayer from Japan/China/SK/Russia/Europoor?

Part of it seems to be because in the rest of the world they seem to focus more on your work than who you are (something to do with the "your productiveness to society > your worth as an individual" mindset or whatever)

obviously it sucks because you easily don't get as recognized, but alas

>>10506834
sorry you got posted

the problem isn't that it's digitally edited
the problem is that it's very badly digitally edited.
It's fine to do 90000 edit actions as long as you did it well.
But most photogs just slap on some fried presets and fuck off.

It's the equivalent of a "profeshunul" cosplayer buying overly expensive non matching wigs, makeup, contacts, etc and looking crusty and cheap as shit.

Dumping some pics. I really like the photos from Calssara's Sumia and Azura photoshoots because they suit the character really well.
Imo whoever edits the photos colorgrades too hard and the colors are way too saturated though. It kind of works for Azura but not really for Sumia.
