While in town for LA’s Anime Expo 2015, photographer Marie Sturges assembled a team to do a creative photo shoot at FD Photo Studio. The resulting images are exciting and energetic. Here is some information about Marie, and her session in Stage B:
“My name is Marie Sturges, and I am a cosplay photographer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Jake and I were visiting Los Angeles for Anime Expo 2015 over the weekend, and since we were going to be in the area for some shoots, we decided to give FD Photo Studio a try.
We knew that Studio B would be perfect for us, because we were wanting complete control over the lighting so that we could establish a dark and mysterious atmosphere.
For the first part of our shoot, we focused on shooting Soni Aralynn as Silk, a super-heroine from Marvel’s Spider-Verse.
Our second half of the shoot focused on a project inspired by the fan art of an Australian artist known as the Chamba (/thechamba.deviantart.com), which features a mashup between the Japanese television series Kamen Rider and Marvel’s Spider-Man. The costumes were worn by Jake and Yoshi (the costumes were designed and made by Jake).
I was very satisfied with my shoot at FD Photo Studio and will definitely book another session with them the next time I am in LA.”
Marie Sturges was the photographer for the session, link on Facebook or Instagram. The talent for the day included: Soni Aralynn, Jake Moore Cosplay, and Yoshi Sudarso.
Stage B is our ‘blackout’ stage, featuring all black walls and ceiling, with capabilities to completely block off the windows to cut out any natural light and reduce reflections from white walls. This space has become a favorite for projects requiring all studio lighting, as well as video shoots where light control is a necessity. Stage B comes equipped with black, gray, and white photo paper, as well as the same great photo gear in all of our studios. With a changing room, vanity mirror, and room to lounge, the unique Stage B is gaining in popularity and earning the ‘Blackout Studio’ name. Take a closer look on our WEBSITE.
